Wow, when was he born? My youngest, Julian, was born March 27. Sounds like they're pretty close in age.

He's my third as well. My first started sleeping through the night on her own at 6 weeks. I contribute this to the fact that I stopped nursing around that time due to thrush and going back to work. My second started sleeping through the night at around 8 weeks, when I decided to "sleep train" him. It was very easy to soothe him without picking him up. I thought I'd have the same experience this time, but it hasn't been the case. We're nearing 4 months now, and Julian is still waking up AT LEAST once a night. I'm exhausted. I have tried to do what I did with my middle child and just soothe him without feeding him, but it doesn't work. He seems genuinely hungry, and I'm not going to starve him...
