"Why won't my baby sleep at night?"


Mary Jane sets down the baby's car seat with a noticeable thump. "I’ve had it! I'm giving up breastfeeding," she declares. "I put him on the breast and he eats well. He falls asleep at the breast and seems satisfied," she explains. "But, one hour later he grunts, rolls his eyes around, and puckers his lips," she moans. "I get out of bed and work desperately to get him back on the breast. He finally eats and falls back asleep." Her energy seems to be mounting as she goes on to say, "It starts all over one hour later! - the grunts, his eyes popping open, those mouth movements! I can't go on. Maybe he would sleep better on formula."
