Waking up at 4 am 😖
My one month old baby won’t go back to sleep after his feeding at 3-3:30 am. He will eat and then stay up until like 8-9 am, he is fussy, grunting, fighting his swaddle and will only nap for like 30 min in between.
He goes to sleep after a bath and massage around 10 am. I am swaddling him, white noise machine, and he will sleep fine up until like 12:30-1 pm, then I will feed, change diaper, swaddle again and he goes to sleep until like 3 when he wants to eat again, and then.... no more sleep for this first time mom, no matter what we do.
He is very gassy since he was born and I giving him gas drops at night after each feeding, but doesn’t always help, so he will also cry a looot, being nervous, arching his body and is hard to calm him down. (We’ve tried many other things like gripe water, colic calm, upright position while feedingc always burping him etc)
I am using an owlet which shows for how long he sleeps, so somewhere between 10 pm and 8-9 am, he only sleeps 5 or 6 hours total, so it’s even less for me, since many times he falls asleep at my breast.
Any tips?
It’s so frustrating 😢
