Okay ladies,
How are nights for you all??? Gianna will be three weeks old tomorrow, and she's great during the day, but nights are just brutal for me.

I have tried going to bed early (during her peaceful hours) so I could gear up for the night, but it just makes the nights seem even longer for me... so now, I find myself trying to stay up as late as I can so its fewer times I have to "wake up" in the middle of the night.

Gianna is still waking up every 2-3 hours in the middle of the night to eat... that in itself would not be a huge problem... but here is how it goes: she wakes up crying, so I change her diaper, then she feeds for anywhere from 10-30 minutes.. then I try to put her on my shoulder so she can burp... problem is, she never burps for me... but a few minutes later (once she has calmed down and started to doze), she gets hiccups, so she wakes up all over again and gets fussy... so then starts about 20-30 more minutes of me trying to hold and calm her....

Now that my houseguests are all gone, I moved Gianna to her room last night (which also doubles as our guest room)... so instead of her being in her fisher-price sleeper in our room, she's sleeping flat on her back for the first time... I don't know if that caused for an increased number of wake-ups/cries last night... but I need some help... I'm deliriously tired... either please tell me I am not alone in these crazy nights, or give me some suggestions of what we should do to get little bit to sleep longer during the crazy 2am-6am hours...
