My newborn baby is currently cluster feeding and my husband and I are trying to get more sleep at night. Are we alone? Please tell me it gets better! We are exhausted and are running on empty.

Normal for a newborn, and can last a while I’m afraid they generally don’t sleep through the night fully for a couple of months sometimes longer, every baby is different. Cluster feeding is normal at this point, I would suggest alternate feedings so one of you can get some sleep then vice versa, or ask for support from family for a couple of hours so you can get some rest. I’m currently 4 weeks in with around 5 hrs sleep a night spread out in to fragments as my little girl is still wanting a feed every 2/3 hrs day and night, I’m exhausted but just trying to get through each day as it comes X

I promise it does get better!! Think of it as they’re having a growth spurt and need the extra nutrients 😘 x

Thank you all for the tips! I really appreciate it.
