Just wanted to share that after weeks of chaos we finally got our 6 week old on a decent sleep schedule. We were doing eat, wake, sleep cycles and it seemed to click last week. She's going down at 9pm, we get a 4 hour stretch, then up at 1am, then 4am, then up for the day around 7. I actually got 6 hours of continuous sleep last night and I feel like a new man. Hang in there everyone, it does get better.
This is the kind of post that gives new dads hope. Everyone made it sound impossible but here you are proving it's not.
That's awesome, congrats on cracking the code. The eat, wake, sleep thing is the real deal once it clicks. Enjoy some actual rest now.
Nice! Getting on a schedule is a game changer. We're still in the trenches with our third but I remember how good it felt when we nailed those cycles with the first two.
A schedule at 6 weeks is basically a superpower. So many people think babies can't be trained at that age but you figured it out. What does the sleep schedule actually look like?

Congratulations man this is huge. 6 weeks of chaos is brutal. What worked best for you? We're about to enter that phase and I'll take any wins I can get.
