It took us almost a week to train mr2 weeks out of screaming for 2 hours solid at 2 am, and when I left he had transferred his “awake” time to mid morning, which was much easier to manage. We discovered he prefers to sleep in pitch dark, and doesn’t like being rocked or patted. And he’s a guts, and will happily overfill himself if you feed him too early …. resulting in major tummy aches and back to 2 am screaming. He also bites really well ….. but he loves looking at your eyes and hair, and smiles.
