I'm desperate for some help. Dd is 13 days old and bf. She feeds constantly at night from about 11pm until 5/5.30am when she will sleep for 3 - 4 hours.
Tonight I encouraged her to feed throughout the evening in the hope that it would move the cluster feeding to a bit earlier. All that happened is she fed from 9 until just now when she has finally gone to sleep.
She falls asleep on the boob and then wakes as soon as I try to move her. I don't want to co sleep.
All this has been fine whilst dh has been off for Xmas but I don't see how I'm going to cope when he goes back to work as we have a very lively toddler as well who doesn't really nap in the day any more.
Spoke too soon and she is now awake again. Does anyone e have any suggestions/advice/miracle cures? I know it is early days but I'm so tired. She won't take a dummy.
