Last night he slept through the night.
I think that's the 3rd time since he's been born. He's been sleeping better the past 3 weeks, but he still wakes at 1-2am to eat. Then he wakes early early morning, but usually puts himself back to sleep now.
We've been working hard to put him down to sleep AWAKE. We gave up on that at first, because we were so desperate for sleep ourselves that we rocked him/held him until he was sleeping hard. That is a thing of the past now! (Thanks partially to Aunt Rhonda's crib toy she gave him)...Orien doses off without mom and dad's help!
PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE!
We'll be PRO'S the second time around :) Let's hope...

So glad his toy is helping to soothe him. Try giving him a bottle of water at 1- 2 in the morning. He will realize it is not worth waking up for water. Then he will soothe himself back to sleep. It worked for Grace. Now that he is on foods, he shouldn't need a bottle in the middle of the night, I would think.????
