Dear All
Baby is 7 days old today, sleep and feeding going well for last 6 days until tonight. Been breastfeeding since 3am pretty much on the hour back to back trying to put down for sleep but baby crying uncontrollably. Eventually went out hot drive with partner at 9am had mcds breakfast and went for walk around local lake - baby fell asleep instantly in car and continued to sleep in pram. This lasted hour and half. Returned home to baby screaming again so tried changing and feeding again - still won't settle to sleep. Continued same pattern of breastfeeding until partner resulted in driving out with baby again and took to my mums (who is like a baby whisperer) to help. She managed to settle him to sleep in 30mins. Bt this time it was 10.30pm, partner returned home 11pm for me to breastfeed again, this time for an hour and tried to put down in bedside cot to still scream. Phoned labour ward in desperation - she suggested that I should feed from one breast exclusively as baby might not be getting the correct milk, plus some other suggestions already tried. It's now 1.30am and still screaming. Any ideas?
