Help! Newborn only sleeping in 1 hour increments

Erin

My newborn (2 1/2 weeks old) has only been sleeping in one hour stretches since we got home from the hospital. He is exclusively breast fed. I don’t know what to do....we’ve tried different bassinets, he always falls asleep at the breast and I try to wake him up to make sure he gets enough.

Any suggestions? I feel like I’m at my wits end!
