Thomas has had pretty regular sleep habits once we were done relocating. The first six weeks he did not sleep more than an hour or two. We had always heard don't let newborns sleep on their tummies, so we we didn't try it.
He wasn't taking to the bassinet we had, I think he was feeling confined/walled in. He was naturally very sensitive to noises so that was a factor as well. We weren't about to give him Benadryl, the famed fallback of harried moms nationwide(and won't to this day). He was too young for pablum(oatmeal/cereal) laced formula, which usually does the trick I have heard.
He slept better on the floor or couch, even when held, but hated the bassinet. Upon our relocation to Texas, the longest he had ever slept was on the plane trip(approx 6 hours). we were pretty harried by then, having taken care of him in shifts since both of us cannot sleep if he's up. Then about a day or so into our stay our sons godfather put him on his belly to sleep and he was out a good four hours.
Now no two babies are going to be alike, especially when it comes to sleep habits. Ours likes music and the ceiling fan, I have a friend whose daughter howled and howled, never slept except to either the vacuum cleaner or blasting 80's punk music.(which was awesome some of the time!)..Some are going to want quiet, others could sleep through a freight train passing by their window. Don't be afraid to try different things, now mine is usually good after a bottle and some rocking, but we are 11 months down the road and certain patterns have been set.
