“Sleep when the baby sleeps”...I wish...

Chrissy • Mom to a beautiful baby girl ❤️

Our little girl is 3 weeks old. During the day she literally won’t let me put her down for more than a few minutes. At night, I get 1-2 hours where she’ll sleep in the bassinet and then she’s up about once an hour to eat/be held. I’ve tried swaddling her, wrapping her in her sleep sack with her arms in and arms out, in a sleeper only, with a pacifier and without, with a white noise machine and without. We can’t set her down when she’s awake or starting to drift off, she just immediately starts to cry. We have to wait for her to be fully asleep.

The past couple days she’s been constantly wanting to eat - it’s making it impossible for me to nap or get anything done. Love cuddling her, but hoping for a little relief so I can at least try to get in a quick nap maybe once a day.

Any ideas or advice?
