He has been this way since around 4:30 when Christian picked him up from Mom's house. He apparently did not sleep much all day and finally decided to check out this afternoon. It is after 9 and he is sound asleep. I have made as much noise as possible to wake him up and nothing works. So, here's the question...do I wake him up? Normally he has had another bottle, played, had a bath, been rocked and put to sleep for the night not to be heard from again until 7 or 8. Obviously that is not going to happen tonight. But, will he sleep much longer in his carrier? Do I wake him and try to work the normal routine? Some of the best advice I received as a new mother is not to wake a sleeping baby, and I generally live by that rule, but I am starting to panic about spending the hours between 1 and 4 am with James on my lap!
I will let you know how it goes...

NEVER wake a sleeping baby. Oddly enough, they seem to revert to their normal sleeping habits anyway...
I hope you didn't have a night of sleeplessness! Let us know how it worked out!
Any remedies for quieting an incessantly screeching newborn? I'd love any tricks....
I would totally wake him up but the only time I ever followed the "don't sleep a waking baby" mantra was in the middle of the night. Otherwise I always woke my babies up like clock work to eat. I swear by it.
