1st time mom please help.
On Saturday my LO turned 2 weeks old. For the last 2 weeks my SO & I have been taking turns sleeping in the living room with her because she absolutely refuses to sleep in her bassinet. The only thing she seems to be comfortable in is her swing. I’d rather not get her started on that & get her more comfortable in her bassinet. She fights her sleep & gets VERY colicky when falling asleep. Almost to the point to where she holds her breath because she’s crying so hard. We’ve given her gas drops to help her belly because we thought that’s what the issue was. I’m now researching & finding that she probably has acid reflux & that’s why she won’t sleep in the bassinet. We’re using all natural avent bottles for her feedings & when she eats makes a gulping sound & sucks in a little air. She’s eating 3 oz & is burped every 1.5 oz to help with the air intake. I guess I’m just overwhelmed because my SO went back to work today & it’s just me & her. I think we both miss him something fierce. Both me & little are exhausted from tying to adjust to our new lives. I’m just at a complete loss as to what to do to help her. 😩 Open to tips & opinions.
