I had an amazing DD this morning! She is beautiful.
She has been dozing all day - we tried a breastfeed and she latched successfully on both sides but fell asleep after 6 or so sucks. This continued all day and now she is waking every half an hour and screaming blue murder! I'm guessing she is hungry - every time I get her to latch (not easy as I have to calm her down first), she sucks for a bit and then falls asleep. I've tried tickling her cheek to keep her going but it doesn't work.
Is this normal? I had a total disaster breastfeeding my eldest DD so have no clue.
She has been asleep on me all night and I'm so tired. I've tried to put her in a cot and she's having none of it. I haven't slept since Tuesday morning and these after pains are awful!

does this sound normal for a brand new baby?
