How to let my baby sleep longer overnight?
Mom, my doctor said that I’m a really good baby for sleeping at night at 1 month old. Please give me a little more time to adjust myself for a longer night’s sleep. I would like to show everyone my sleep routine. My doctor agrees to post the 99 more one month old babies’ sleep routines, to make a 100 babies’ sleep routine web-page for dads and moms who have newborn babies.
Total sleep time is about 13 hours per day
6-10am look around, talking, singing, and dancing with mom
10-11am nap,11-12noon feeding, 12-3pm nap, 3-7pm love to be the baby carrier, non-stop talking, playing and cooking with mom
7-10pm sleep, 10-11pm bath and feeding, 11pm-6am wakes up every 2 hours for feeding and goes back to sleep quickly.

"Our baby has had too much gas, fussy, and too little sleep during the day time since 2 weeks old which have been getting worse for last two days. And she starts spitting up 1-3 tsps of milk after each feeding. She eagers to eat, but holds head back, pulls her legs up, and cries a lot when she is fed. Her bowel movements are normal."
Total sleep time is about 8-11 hours per day.
Daytime: Only sleeps one hour each time with holding on mother's arms, then has fussy for 1-1.5 hour.
Evening and night time: She is exhausted and sleeps 2-3 hours between the breast feedings from 10pm to 5am.
Dr: " Most likely Gastroesophageal Reflux ".
Plan: Hold her upright for 30-40 minutes after feedings. Gives her frequent small feedings. Consider to give her medication if the symptoms continue.

I still spit-up 1 tea spoon or 1table spoon milk right after each feeding or 2 hours after feeding. I'm fussy and have some congested sound. My doctor starts Anti-reflux medication for me.

On the medication, my spit-up is getting better with one spit-up per day. I can sleep 2-3 hours after each feeding over the night. But I'm fussy all day along and only can sleep half hour here or there. I only gain 3 oz during last 10 days. I should gain almost 1oz per day. Oh, please help me. My parents and doctor talk for long time, and finally they decide to discontinue the anti-reflux medication, give me breast feeding at least 8 times. After each breast feeding, pump each breast and feed me the pumped breast milk as I want. Then I will be followed with my doctor in three days. My parents will bring the feeding log and my 24 hours diapers to the clinic.

Wow, I gain 5 oz for last three days. I sleep 3 hours after each feeding over night, and sleep half to one and half hour after playing 2-3 hours during day time. My total sleeping time is about 12-13 hours a day. My mother breast feeds me 8-9 times a day, and adds about 20-30ml pumped breast milk on the 1st 2 days. Then I refused the pumped breast milk after breast feeding. There are 11wet diapers my parents changed for me for last 24 hours, and they weigh 1lb12oz. My doctor told my parents I sucked in 22.5oz from the breasts for last 24hours. (1lb12oz - 5.5oz=22.5oz, each dry diaper weigh half oz). Now I'm 9lb.
Tip: The most of the babies during their 1st year of life need about 50 calories per one pound weight daily to gain weight. One ounce breast milk or formula =20 calories. So babies need about 2.5oz (50 calories) breast milk or formula per pound daily. 6 lb baby needs to be fed 15oz milk, and 9lb baby needs 22.5oz milk to gain weight.

I sleep well over the daytime until 10pm . Then I wake up every 30minutes overnight. My parents hardly get to sleep overnight. I’m a little confused which is day and night, because I have been in the dark inside my mother’s womb for 9 months. It usually takes several weeks for babies to adapt to the day and night schedule. Please wake me up in the evening so I will be a little tired and sleep several more hours during the night.
