Can’t settle down in the night

Hi I’m currently awake with my 2 week old baby boy! He’s asleep but if I dare move him to his next to me crib, he will wake up and be awake for hours! We are really struggling with the nights between 1-5am usually, my partner goes back to work tomorrow after being off for the last 2 weeks and I’m dreading it! Keep going mama you’ve got this! X

Yes it’s really really really hard. The only way I am surviving the nights is me going to bed early (9pm) and getting as much sleep as I can before dad and baby coming up to bed at midnight. I then take over from midnight until 6-7am, on a good night I might get 3 broken hours sleep in that time. Dad has had a good stretch of sleep so can manage going to work. Then I finally go back to sleep after dad takes over again. Not ideal but it’s survival at this point! I hope it gets better for you! X

Thanks girls! It’s been tough! Ask Dad to put him to bed last night as he wouldn’t settle for me as he could just smell me and would feed for hours if he could and he put him down and then instantly cried and went to sleep himself 🥲
