Newborn trenches
My girl was born on the 24th, and lemme tell you I LOVE being a girl mom🩷 my only issue right now is she’s got her days and nights soooo mixed up, like I’m talking she sleeps nearly all day except to feed every 2-4 hours MAX ( I don’t ever let her surpass four hours because we’re trying to get her back up to birth weight) so I’ve been pumping when she has long naps and getting anywhere from 3-5oz in 20 minutes (10mins on each side)
We EBF aside from getting a bottle when dad wants to feed her, usually at night when I have to shower because my girl will not sleep at night. She’ll eat 3oz easily from a bottle and still wants more. I get worried about over feeding her because she’s been spitting up as of late.
My question is, how can I get her to sleep at night? She gets fed, burped, diaper change and a change of clothes before bed. I feed her until she falls asleep, and then when I put her down she wakes up and starts rooting so I’ll feed her again and she’ll fall right asleep after 5 minutes. I slept with her for the first week because of her choking scare, but we started to move her into her own bed in my room last night.
Should I be doing something different? I haven’t had a newborn in 10 years so I feel like I’m in no man’s land😅 ANY advice would help at this point, I just want my girl on some kind of schedule until she’s old enough to actually get her in a routine.
