My son is 3 1/2 months old. He was a month early and sometimes is a little behind so we think of him as just turning 3 months...

Anyway, his schedule seems to be off and he eats very often, but then seems to want to be asleep for good at 5:00PM...but then gets up twice. This is a typical day here....

5:00AM wakes up - 5 oz formula-goes back to sleep
7:00AM 5 oz formula/play/sleep a little
9:00AM 5 oz formula/play/ goes back to sleep for a 2-3hr nap
12:00PM 5 oz formula/play/won't sleep in the afternoon.

If I am lucky he will take a quick nap in the stroller or car if I go out and if I am home...maybe 45 minutes.

4:00 very fussy and overtired....will take 5 oz and then will cry/fuss until passing out at 5:00PM. Then he will sleep either until 1:00AM or if I wake him at 10:00 - he will take 5 oz and then sleep until 2 or 3 AM, but is ALWAYS up at 5:00AM.....

Any suggestions on how to get him to last until an 8:00PM bedtime? maybe he will be more likely to just need one feeding....

I am going back to work in a month and was hoping to have him a little more stable for the nanny.

Edited to say- he weighs 12 lbs and gets 6-7 bottles of 4-5 ozformula/breastmilk per day. no cereal yet.

Thanks!
