Baby number 2 is 5 days old and will not sleep during the evening unless on my chest 😴
So I’m having a good 45 minutes of sleep per night . Anyone else in the same boat 🫠

I’m in the same boat my second baby doesn’t sleep well at night.

This is my first and feeling the same to the extent I am one and done 🙃 hoping it’ll get better in time

Sending love 🥲 it’s so so hard

Yes! Can’t put down at all during the night so I just have to sit up with him all night!

Yes my boy is the same! I have dropped him onto my bed a few times after falling asleep in my arms!!

My first one slept in my arms for the first three months. It was so exhausting!!!. We used to take turns with my husband so i could get some sleep(2hrs at night and 2 hrs in the morning😂😂)

Have you tried co-sleeping? I wasn’t originally open to it but this so far has been working for my husband and I, whilst he’s on paternity leave. I’ve been able to get 6 or so hours of sleep (broken for feeding). Husband has been able to get 6-8 hours of unbroken sleep so that he can do the majority of chores. With him well rested, it allows me to continue to recover and then get some unbroken naps during the day while he watches the little one. x
