My Baby Boy is 7 Weeks old

Yet another week has passed where are these weeks going. 

Joel weighed 11lb 14oz on Monday so I must be doing something right although he is a bit of a piglet with feeds as mentioned last week. I think he has had yet another growth spurt this week as I've had many days of hourly feeds again so I hope it starts to die down now.

From last Friday turning 6 weeks his night sleeping has been better as from 10-11pm he can sleep up to 5 hours straight but mostly with me holding him. We had a break through last night I let him fall asleep on me then I put him in a sleeping bag in his Moses basket just before 11pm, he did wake up when I put him down but I used a dummy and a music box from a slumber bear a friend lent me to try as it activates womb sounds. I don't know if it was the sounds, sleeping bag or dummy but he slept until 1.40am in his Moses basket yay!
When he woke up I went to feed him but he fell asleep straight away on me until 4.35am so really that was over 5 hours sleep. I tried putting him back in the moses basket with the music box and he was ok for 5 minutes but got fussy and cried. 
 It's a start though as I can't expect a miracle over night. I'm happy he can sleep 5 hours straight no matter if I'm holding him or not as with Ollie this did not happen until he was at least 5 months old.
