Does it get better?

Question

Please tell me it gets better. I’m a FTM and my daughter is 3 weeks old, and sleeps only two hours at a time before wanting to be up for 45ish minutes at a time (sometimes up to an hour and a half). I’m a super light sleeper, I can’t sleep when it’s light out/if my body knows it’s daytime, and I take forever to fall asleep. I’m surviving on such little sleep it’s not even funny and I’m so exhausted. 
Please just send me some encouragement and the knowledge that she will start sleeping more soon!

Answer

It will get better momma! It’s always a rough start when you’re just figuring things out but it WILL get better! I know it doesn’t seem like it when you’re tired all the time and frustrated but keep your head up!

This was me exactly... running on fumes and coffee. My baby is just about 10 weeks now.. she slept through 5 hours over night starting around 8 weeks. Before that she woke every 2-3 hours... now she's been going on 8 hours a night. I remember thinking exactly how you are now!!! It gets better.

Answer

My little boy is 1 month old and we just tried swaddling last night for the first time and he went 5 hours between feeds, we couldn’t believe it! During the day he is still having feeds every 3 hours. We also use white noise at nights and try not having too much light when we are doing his nappies so he doesn’t wake up too much. I think it’s just trial and error until you find something that works for your little one but I hope it gets better for you soon 🤞

Answer

It does get better. They start to sleep longer but will be up for longer.  But it really does get better.  My son has started to not want his second nap of the day but he almost a year old.  He in bed by 10 most nights and wake up only for a pee goes right back to sleep after I change him.

Answer

Honestly it just takes time. For now your going to be sleep deprived. My daughter didn’t start sleeping through the night till she was 5.5 months. But every baby is different.

Answer

Try upping her milk an oz I did this and my LG is now content after her feed for 5hours sometimes 6

Answer

it does! my first was the worst sleeper on earth (I can't prove it... but I'm pretty sure it's true). It was really hard for about 5 months, I won't lie to you. But after we did some sleep training, she was sleeping through the night consistently. sleep goes up and down and there are some bumps in the road, but it does get better. 
the first few months are hard... hang in there. enjoy the baby cuddles and soft skin and sleepy noises. focus on the good. and do your best with the bad.
