I know the 'New Thought' is waiting for weeks on end before introducing solid food....but I can't figure out who came up with that idea other than some queer guy in Kansas who had NO BABIES!
They wake up during the night because they are hungry....so WISDOM would lead you to believe if you FED 'EM.....they would sleep thru the night.
I cut bottle nipples at 3 weeks and went for the cereal. As soon as they could deal with a spoon....we went for food. I didn't feel like playing the Dr Spock game of raising infants. He could afford a Nanny...I couldn't....and I needed some sleep. I FED MY KIDS whatever they would and could eat.
From the time they were 6 weeks old....they slept all night.
