How's your sleep?

Mine will sleep two x 3 hour stints (the first contact napped and then a bottle of expressed milk, second in his bed) and then it’s pretty much a wind/gas party from the 3am feed. He’ll then settle around 5.30am, roughly 30 minutes before the toddler is up for the day 😂

We have good nights and bad nights. Good nights, I can get 6 hours. Bad nights, my little one will sometimes only go 2 hours at a time 😅 on the bad nights, I find that he settles better in the living room too with the TV on and it also keeps me sane to be able to watch one of my shows whilst soothing him back to sleep 🤣

I co sleep too because apparently the Moses basket is his personal enemy and the moment he touches it, he screams the bloody house down and it doesn’t matter if I’ve warmed it up or not. 🫠

On the really bad nights, I find humming helps him best to settle when he eventually does. I think it’s less stimulating for him than when I’m talking or singing trying to soothe him.

5 weeks too. Good night's same as you, I put to bed around 11, sleeps until 3ish then 6 and then usually up around 7.
Bad nights are still the same wake times but longer wake windows due to projectile vomiting all over the bed, leaked nappies and boobs leaking all over little one 😅

My baby will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I'm breastfeeding. At the moment my baby is cluster feeding so she's all over the place. Some nights she sleeps well and some nights she'll barely sleep. I don't co-sleep with her regularly. I have only had her in bed with me when she is really struggling to stay asleep

We are BF
She sleeps for around 4 hours on me / my husband then anything from 45mins to 2.5 stretches after that.
Really hit and miss.

She is 6 weeks old and seems to being crying all day long at the moment 😩

Mines bf and sleeps through she sleeps in bed with me in the c-position and she just attaches herself to the boob when she wants 😂😅, sorry to hear your not having any luck I hope it gets better!! X

Mine starts bedtime at 11 then usually stirs for a feed 2, 4 and 6 but last night was 3 and 6. He will barely open his eyes and will pass out on the boob again after 5 mins tops.

We have been strict on day time and night time separation since birth (he’s 5 weeks now) - daytime is loud and bright, nighttime is dark, red light only, womb noise, I don’t make eye contact or speak.

My baby also only sleeps on his belly which has allowed for longer stretches. On his back he was waking every 20-30minutes. I use the owlet to monitor him and he is also very strong with his neck so I’m not worried about it.

There’s only been one bad night and it was because he had bad gas pain so dad makes sure that he has done all his exercises before he brings him to me in bed at 11.

But every baby is different and it could be sleep regression for their development leap or a bit of reflux or gas.

I think at 5 weeks our baby's are going to be all over the place with sleep and feeding weather that's bottle or breast. I've noticed with my baby that the weather has a massive impact on the day she is having, like if it's hot she'll fuss for the majority of the day because she's hot and she'll find it hard to sleep and if it's colder she wants to feed more and cuddle more to sleep. Each day I will adjust the heating in the house or open the windows to cool the rooms down to make sure she'll be comfortable. This helps her a lot. I've also adjusted her crib so it's at a slight angle to help her keep the milk down to prevent spit up. Sometimes I have to carry her and walk around for a little while to settle her... Every baby is so different, you'll find what works best for you and your baby and hopefully you'll finally be able to relax a little bit

Ebf here
We co sleep with my toddler so bedtime between 7-8 then my 10 week old wakes 2-3 hourly until around 5/6am then he comes in with us and we sleep until around 7.30/8.30am depends if we have to be up for nursery on that particular day. Some days he will feed hourly from 4ish.
We don't get any crying fits at all... it feels really strange because my first born did this so I am waiting for that to start soon?
He was 6 weeks esrly so was supposed to be a March baby but ended up being a February baby! So adjusted age is 4 weeks.
