Sleep deprivation

Sarah

When does sleep improve?! I am a FTM and I have a 5 week old. He is EBF with an occasional bottle of pumped breast milk or formula. He gets up every 2-3 hours to feed and has never gone longer than 3. 5 hours of sleep.

I've read others comments/questions and they say their LO slept longer than this at this point.

I've also noticed it's harder for me to fall asleep after I put my baby to sleep after feeding. I feel like I know I'm going to be up soon anyways and it causes me some anxiety.

The sleep deprivation is really hitting me. Just need some words of encouragement! Thanks
