Anyone up?

He definitely wanted to be comforted it sounded like :)

Cuddles from Mummy 🥰. Congratulations 🎊 firstly! I wouldn't worry too much, as he will take a while to adjust to life outside the womb. The most comfortable and safe place to him is being as close to you as possible. If he carries on like this and you think he's in a bit of pain then don't worry about contacting your midwife or health visitor (not sure where you're from but in the UK you would have a health visitor to check on mum and baby after birth).xx

He definitely needed to be held. They are used to a warm environment all snuggled in the womb. Being held and snuggled will give that feeling of comfort.

Do you swaddle him? Mine loved being swaddled. Probably that would help him fall asleep without being held.

Give him all the cuddles he needs. They don’t need less cuddles the younger they are. He’s brand new, only knows being close to you. An empty cot away from the only thing he’s ever known, must be scary and daunting.
I’m a big believer of giving babies what they need. They’re too young to be sleep trained and there’s no such thing as spoiling them.
It might be hard but it won’t last forever.
I co slept first two months as she wanted to be close.

Thank you everyone, I massively agree with giving love. My husband will quite often say so and so is wrong with him and I’m like no I think he just needs a cuddle which most of the time he does. I was just worried if I was missing something with the way he was thrashing about. I’d happily give up all my sleep for him to feel content it was the best feeling 🥰

Is he making a grunting noise? He could be trying to figure out how to poop. My son did that A LOT for like the first 5 or 6 weeks and it was so stressful for me

Congratulations mummy...🎉🎉 xx

He's just wanting his mama. He was in your womb over 4 days ago.
Congratulations mama xxx 💙
