  1. in terms of what?  feeding? sleeping?  I have a six week old now.  he eats on average of every 3 hours but in the evening that can sometimes go as long as 4-6.  When I get up at night to feed him I turn the lights on really low (we installed dimmers) so it doesn't startle him and make him wide awake.  He eats and goes right back to sleep...in the morning we turn up all the lights, open the blinds and try to get it down so he can distinguish between day and night.  I don't normally get more than about 4 hours sleep at a time at night, but he goes right back to sleep after.

    Also, my son is formula fed and has been since day 3 (not enough milk supply)

    addition:  My little guy doesn't sleep much at all during the day.  It almost seems like he fights it and only does 10 minute cat naps and then wakes up again.  He goes to sleep for good around 10pm and is up around 3am to feed and then back to sleep til 6-6:30 and he's up for the day.  

    I don't put him to sleep and leave him though, you can't be that strict when they are this young.  Their body's will do what they need, I just want him to know the difference between day and night and in a few months we will work more of a routine in.
