Should be sleeping how long?

So I forgot to mention yesterday that the pediatrician said that usually around 1 month, babies will sleep for a 4-hour stretch. I laughed and said, "That's a good one!" I can only get this guy to do 3 hours, and that is after he has cluster fed every hour for 4 hours, breast and bottle. Last night he did a 3 hour stretch from 9-midnight, then he was up a 2, 4, 6, and 7:15. So I got about an hour a sleep between each of those feedings. That kid better start sleeping, or mommy is going to have a nervous breakdown.

Woah. Hang in there. Is he gassy? Finn couldn't sleep b/c he was too gassy. Baby gas drops saved my sanity and gave me a few extra Zs.

Do you want a banner for your blog?

Yeah, I've started using the Mylacon drops in the evening when he is the fussiest. Doesn't seem to help much. : ( He did finally do a 4 hour stretch the other night, but hasn't done it since. He has a stuffy nose now, so I'm getting even less sleep.
