Anyone else having horrible nights?

Question

I’m so envious of the moms who’s babies literally come out of the womb willing to sleep 8 hours at night (yes they exist) 
My daughter is not a good eater and only likes to eat a couple oz at a time, so I’m pretty sure that’s why my nights are awful.
Yup, her latch is great, she’s eating, she just likes to stop after a few min. 
I tried the takingCaraBabies newborn class and I’m only 2 days in and it just doesn’t feel like it’s gonna work for me 
Please tell me I’m not alone

Answer

I have a 7 w Old and we are up 3-4 times a night. I try and stay positive by remembering that he is easy in some other ways that I’m grateful for. He will put himself to sleep. He will sleep in his crib no problem. He naps during the day. He will let us put him down and he’s not colicky. But im not going to lie. I talk to God a lot about sleep! Lol

Answer

Every baby & every situation is different. I’m pretty sure we’ve been getting decent sleep bc we co-sleep (which wasn’t our plan 😂) and I’m dreading when we have to force her to sleep in her crib bc we have tried it & she doesn’t like it 🙀😭😂 
But what’s worked for us also is pumping right before bedtime & feeding her a bottle, slow flo which gets her nice & tired & of course full. We usually go to sleep around 11:30 on a good night & she’ll wake up once anywhere between 3-5am and will go back to sleep with minimal effort as long as she is next to me...

Answer

How old and how much does she weigh? Yes, we have some rough nights and some easier nights. I was up literally every hour last night and am struggle bus-ing today

Answer

At first my baby would wake up every 2 hours then every hour and then every 30 mins I was going crazy, but thanks God that the every 30 minutes only lasted a week and now he is sleeping 5-6 hours majority of the nights which is incredible, other nights he would just wake up every 3 hours just to eat and falls right back to sleep 🙌🏽 I’m a very happy mom now. Just give it time  because I also went through nights were he would fall asleep but the minute I put him on his bassinet he would opened his eyes and look now.

Answer

We have the opposite issue she sleeps well at night (6.5-8 hrs) but she screams all day with reflux. Please know you aren’t alone and it’s overwhelming taking care of a newborn. My girl is about 11w and now finally taking about 3oz every 3.5-4hrs. 
Just remember this will eventually pass, but I would totally recommend this YouTube white noise sound that my baby absolutely LOVES it will knock her out 9/10 times within 3-5 minutes.
