My daughter turned 6 weeks on Saturday and for the past couple of nights she has not slept at night she will stay awake for 4 hours at a time and it’s seeming like she is only napping as she will only be asleep for 30-60 mins at a time and all she wants to do is drink milk. Anyone else’s little do this and tell me what I can do to help her sleep at night and how long it lasts.
Got one tired mother with no support at night.

Im not there yet but heard that the 6-8 week period is hard! Something to do with them becoming more conscious I think. You've got this!!

My little boy is 6wks and 5days and has been fighting sleep in the day the last week or so. He doesn't sleep of a night time but has gone down from 2-3 hour stints to 1/1.5hrs - 2 if I'm lucky. He did have a nearly 4 hour stint to start the night last night which is completely new.
My partner sleeps through the night for work so I do it alone too, as well as the days unless I go to my mams.
Just taking each day as it comes as best I can. Hope it gets easier and better for you soon, just know that you're not alone x

Thank you means so much knowing I am not alone.
