These past two days my baby will not settle for more than half an hour,We’re exclusively bf and I can’t get anything done. He never seems to be awake and just content always looking for more milk all the time but it’s gotten worse. He’s on boob for about 20 minutes and then comes off himself or I take him off as his latch becomes a bit bad as he half falls asleep and he is asleep and doesn’t want to go back on. Is anyone else having this problem? Feels like a never ending cycle 😩

How old is your little one? Think that’s pretty normal for periods of the day to cluster feed. I usually am the same in morning and evening since week 3 and now a month old. He does usually sleep in the afternoon when we go somewhere in the car or out for a walk in the pram.

Yeah, what age are they? There are weeks they are going through growth spurts and it can be harder work.

he’s 3 weeks x

looks like a growth spurt!

I’m currently going through the exact same with my 3 week old and today he went back to long naps!! It was about 4 days of short unsettled naps for us and now he’s back to 2-3 hour stretches

My baby is 3 weeks also & has been quite fussy for a few days, not napping for long at all & constantly wants a feed (some breast milk & topped up with formula). Hard just to get my teeth brushed!

My daughters been lie this since last week! And she's a month this week. As soon as she feeds and I settle her to sleep she's up again 😫

Mine has the same at 3 weeks, sometimes when he passes wind or poops he settles, and sometimes he is just tired and wants to sleep on your arms or on your breast. I walk while cuddling him and he settles.

Are you tracking the leaps? Would definitely get the wonder weeks app and that can really help troubleshoot what the baby is up to

You tried giving him a dummy?? X

yes he just gags on them x

I thought mine always wanted to feed, but sometimes it was trapped wind. Also using a sling around the house has been great to have him with me. I notice on the days I need to get out, he settle in the car or pram.
