Sleep Problems
Hi mommas. First time mom here. My daughter is 10 days old today. I am worried about her sleep.
She naps fine during the day. Night time is awful. She can be awake for 2-3 hours at a time. We swaddle her. We rock her. She has a pacifier that she uses at night to help her stay asleep, otherwise she will continue to wake up. We keep it dark in our house. No tv's or anything. Just dark and quiet.
Sometimes, I can get her to sleep after a bottle and she will stay asleep. Other times, she just fights and fights and fights sleep.
She also has periods of wakefulness throughout the day.
This momma is worried the her newborn is not getting enough sleep. I don't want this to harm her development.
Should I call her pediatrician? What other advice do you have for me?
