Witching hour in the morning?
My month old is so unsettled in the morning. She will wake for her morning feed 8/9 and she will not settle completely until 12/1 when she’s due her next fed. She will be in and out of sleep, and only when held, but she will do micro naps for like 15/20 mins. She is wide awake but grumpy. I’ve tried belly rubs, burping, contrast cards, singing, rocking, dummy, offer her boob (combi feeding) and everything works for like 5 mins and shes upset again.
any suggestions for a mum who wants a restful morning?!

This is the perfect time for a witching hour ! (Hours) get yourself outside with her :) it does absolute wonders and it’ll Bypass it! My last had his 3-5pm every day so I fed him and we went out for that time. Shops, park, walk and a hot drink. My baby this time is 7-9:30/10 so he naps till 8:30 has a bath and a feed to try and bypass it x
Same here! I put her in the sling or if it’s not raining go for a walk in the pram. I have a toddler as well so we tend to have to get out! but I remember my first also being a nightmare in the mornings and I used to go out for a long walk with a podcast and get a coffee. It does pass though 🙏 around 4-8 weeks is peak fussy time sounds like you’re doing a great job xx

My little boy is the exact same! I’ve been offering him a bit more food if he’s signing he’s hungry too. Hoping it’s a phase :)
