My dd is nearly 3 weeks old and breastfeeding every 2 hours through the night for an hour a time - 11pm, 1am, 3a, 5am, 7am approx. I'm shattered and have to look after a toddler in the day so can't get any rest. I thought it was a growth spurt but it's been like this for 10 days now. In the day I wake her up for feeds every 3 hours but she would sleep for longer. Is there anything I can do to get a bit more sleep at night? I've resorted to rbinging her into bed and trying to sleep through the feeds but she doesn't feed as well so I think this just makes her feed more frequently.
Please help - I'm starting to wonder about formula last thing at night but don't think this should be necessary.
