Hey im a first time mom to my baby girl. she is 20 days old and last night was up most the night. I've had 2 hours sleep total im so tired but she won't sleep at all. She will wake up and have some of a bottle and then when I put her down after burping her she will start crying half an hour later for more. She's on 6 ounces of hungry baby formula. Im just not sure why this is happening. Could it be sleep regression?

Will she contact nap? Really normal for babies to want to sleep close to us and wake when put down
Is she definitely hungry? 6oz is a massive amount of milk for such a young baby. It’s possible it’s giving her a tummy ache. Hungry baby formula is also harder for them to digest so a good chance that’s also causing her immature tummy some issues.. what made you use it to begin with? Are bottles pace fed?

Just colic probably mines the same

Babies cry and don’t sleep.
Not even 3 weeks ago she was all cosy inside of you in the most perfect environment. They want to be on you all the time to feel safe. She might have wind. She could be overstimulated so many things. But she’s probably crying because she wants you. Try some skin to skin in a darkened room with some white noise

When my oldest was little he went through this, I popped him in a sling for most of the day and he got some sleep, after getting him well rested and not over stimulated he was far easier to settle in his bassinet at night. For babies this young, sleep results in more sleep. 🥰 Hope it may help! Fatigue can make everything seem worse.
