Weight Gains

New mum of a 4days old baby and I can literally feel my body gaining weight , it feels uncomfortable I can’t even sleep. My joints hurting , my foots hurting when I stand due to the weight pressure.

6 week old sleep

How long did your 6 week old sleep at night? We were waking for feeds and monitoring weight gain due to slow gain and recovering from gastro (3 hour feeds). We are back to demand feeding and just had our first 5 hour sleep. Is this ok?
