Is my baby the only one? 😩

Question

He has only been sleeping 1-2 hours at night before waking up. That started this week and I’m so exhausted. I am dreaming of a 3 hour stretch, that’s how bad it is. Is this a phase?! Normal?? Help!!! He’s 3.5 weeks old. I’m dying slowly.

Answer

Some babies wake up a lot while others dont, unfortunately. If you can, trade off with your partner so you each can get a little sleep. How often does he eat during thr day and sleep? I have found that if I make sure my daughter doesnt sleep longer than 2 hours during the day and doesnt go longer than 2.5 or 3 hours without a feed then she sleeps more at night and she is breast fed.

Answer

It is normal. Sometimes it just happens. Like others said if you can get some help so you can nap or sleep better at night that is the best. If you are breastfeeding you can try formula at night to see if that keeps baby fuller a little longer so you can sleep a little extra.

Answer

My son does that sometimes. He'll have nights where he'll sleep 4-5 hours and then he'll have his nights where he'll sleep like 1-1.5 before wanting to eat again or sometimes he'll just wake up and be up for a while. It is hard and frustrating. Are you breastfeeding your baby? If not, I would ask your SO for help so you can get sleep. Even if you are breastfeeding, you could still have your SO feed the baby while you sleep and just pump every 3 hours at night
