I feel your pain. All my children (3 biological) slept through the night by six weeks. They were all tiny too. So, when I had baby lebell -- a "big" little guy -- I thought it would be a breeze to get him sleeping through the night. No it hasn't been! He still eats two to three times a night. The doctor says he needs to be fed as he is in the 75th percentile for height and only the 25th for weight. He is hungry because he is busy during the day. I hope we aren't setting ourselves up for trouble; but when he wakes up for the first night time feeding, I just take him in to bed with us. I can't stand getting up and down as I need my sleep to make it to work. At this point, I don't know if he is crying because he wants to be with us or to be feed. But I do know he eats for about 15-20 minutes every time he eats; so I'm pretty sure he just wants to eat. When summer hits, he is going to learn to "self soothe" -- I hope!
