Anyone else?

My little one is not great with her sleep! She is 7 weeks old and still will only contact nap in the day and at night she will only sleep for over 2 hours if she is on someone. She sleeps in her next to me (I’ve tried all the tricks) but she is still waking up every hour and a half to be fed. We even tried (safely) co sleeping at it is the exact same! She grunts a lot through the night and has been having gaviscon for her reflux. All I hear about are babies that sleep 4/5 hours if not through till early morning. Am I the only one? I am so tired and keep feeling as though I’m doing something wrong 😩

I’ve literally just written a similar post. He lulls me into a false of security by occasionally going 4-5 hours between feeds but then he jumps straight back to some nights just 45m - hour. I’m so exhausted. Even trying to look at him in the night, i find I’m going hard cross eyed because I’m trying so hard to keep my eyes open. I get so grumpy as well. I’m never mean to him obvs but I feel so done with the whole thing in the night when he’s not letting me sleep.

No you’re not! Same through the day with contact naps. Some nights we get 2.5 hours in the Moses basket, other nights we get 20 mins and have to hold the rest of the time. She’s a very colicky baby so we’re just surviving. This is not for the weak 🥵

We are the same, really struggling getting our 8w boy into his next to me so have resorted to safe co sleeping after his first sleep of the night (which used to be 2-3hrs but more recently is under an hour!). Hoping it’s just a phase 🤞
