Why won't my baby sleep?

Hi, anyone got any advice my baby won't settle, she's been awake for at least 6 hours now, falls asleep for a minute after feeding but as soon as I put her down she's wide awake again! She's tiring me out let alone herself just don't know how she's been awake for so long she's just over a month old. TIA

I have no advise. BUT SAME! Sleep regression I think. I am now day 4 of this. Her max sleep is about 10 mins then wide awake- she’s 6 weeks! We gotta stay strong 🤣❤️ only thing I found helps is in the car seat and get her out for a walk or drive then leave in seat in house!

She’s still super young and probs wants to stay on you for comfort as she doesn’t know any different yet. They still think they’re part of you for a good 6 months if not more! Enjoy the contact naps while it lasts . It won’t be like that forever xx

Just to add - my baby used to be the same and I used to get worried she wasn’t sleeping enough but all babies are different. If she’s meeting her milestones I wouldn’t stress too much (if you were!)

Mine is the same she’s just over a month too! I read online it’s a thing that can begin from 2 weeks but can last 6-8 weeks :( it is very exhausting! I’m having the best day so far with my little one. All I did different was get her up earlier this morning feed her went for a ride in the car then a walk and she seems so much more chilled out. So I’m gonna carry on going out for a walk with her in the morning. But usually she doesn’t like anything the pram, car seat, baby bouncer/play mat so hopefully she’s gonna settle a lot more if I try a morning walk 🤷‍♀️ you’ve got this keep strong x

Do you swaddle? That can help sometimes. Also make sure the space you put her in is warm

I bb would say don’t give up .. it can be a mental thing ! I experience this last night … Im she didn’t settle from 10-pm till about 10am this morning honestly imagine being up for that long just playing with her and feed etc it’s EXHAUSTING , but she’s now asleep and I’m managing to sleep and sort few things out .. NOT EASY BUT IM SURE ITS GETS BETTER .. she’s 2 months in a few days !!

Mine was the same at that age. Try letting her sleep in your arms for a bit. But other than that there’s nothing you can do. She will be having big brain development and that’s what’s effecting her sleep. Have you got the wonder weeks app? It helps with knowing when ashes entering a leap etc x

My baby is 5 weeks and literally the same! X it’s like their routine changed all of a sudden
