#asktheexpert hi I have a premie son who was born at 30 weeks and is currently 36 weeks. Since his discharge from the NICU, his feedings hours during the nights have shortened to 1/1.5 hours at night from 3 hours and he only likes to be held at night for sleeping. During the day he sleeps in his cot but at nights he simply refuses to be put down to bed. What can I do?
