Night time

Hey!!

Don’t worry it gets better , I was in the same position as you, mine fed on the hour all night ! I felt like I was the only one and it was so exhausting!! Because he would also be on me all day.

And yes they don’t like to be put down , just so small still. All starts to change once your milk starts to regulate from 6-8 weeks. And then you will see longer stretches of sleep! It does get better and this is temporary!

Your baby still thinks he’s in the womb so wants to be held with your warmth and hearing the heartbeat. Soon your baby will sleep off you when he starts doing longer stretches of sleep.

This article was sent to me when I was in the same position as you and it helped me understand so sharing with you too see if it could help

Also it might not be hunger just sucking for comfort which is also okay , they are brand new to the world 🥲🥺 and you provide familiarity of the womb

My 5week old doesn’t like the next to me bed and wouldn’t go init so we got a mosses basset and she went init don’t no if it’s that little bit smaller to make her feel secure 🤷🏻‍♀️. Throughout the day she would sleep on me but as night she will go down in the basset.

I spent a few weeks with my little one asleep in his side facing me with his head on my arm, was the only way he'd sleep and then eventually he'd side sleep on the bed next to me and we've slowly progressed to the next to me🎉 you'll get there with it just keep at it!

Nearly 4 weeks and no routine at all, dhe doesnt tend to go longer than 1.5-2hrs in the night without asking for a feed and she is bottle fed!! I see others getting long stretches but we've never had more than 2.5hrs x
