Sleep

My baby is nearly 7 weeks old and still waking every 1.5/2 hours, coupled with breastfeeding it’s getting really challenging now with so much broken sleep and I’m struggling. Just wanting to know how much sleep / feeds in the night you guys are getting with your little ones?

I was just about to post something similar till I seen your post, I’m breastfeeding as well and baby is still waking every 2 hours during the night, I think he’s done maybe one 4 hour stretch but he’s still every 2 hours and he’s gaining weight he’s 13lbs already but I feel like I keep seeing posts that their baby is sleeping through or sleeping for long stretches. Our sleep will come again hang in there, I’m there with you xx

Same! My little one wakes every 2 hours! He's bottle fed and takes forever to eat it all! He will take 2 ounces fall asleep then wake up 10- 15 mins later wanting more! Just as I drift off! I'm exhausted! That mixed with a toddler is so tiring

I’m in the same boat as you and honestly really feeling it now, I’ve contemplated introducing formula just to give me a break but haven’t at the moment

I am breastfeeding. She feeds off me during the day and we do a bottle of breast milk in the evening roughly 100-120ml around 8:30/9pm. She the settled herself to sleep but it’s sometimes around 10pm and she usually then sleeps until around 1:30pm & 4:30ish x

@Megan how old is your baby? My baby is a month and constantly breast feeding so this sounds like a very good idea right now

My son tends to feed every 3 hours in the day and can sometimes stretch to up to 4 hours in the night, he will be 4 weeks on Wednesday. I tend to do bath and a feed around 7/7:30 and then he can cluster feed sometimes until 10 and can go until 1/2 and then 5/6 by the time he is down x

@Abbie my baby is 5 weeks! It’s exhausting isn’t it

5 weeks old, wakes every 2 hours to feed since birth. No improvement in sight, would love for him to sleep 4h straight at least in the beginning of the night
