Newborn DD pretty much always went straight to sleep after a feed so although she woke for milk frequently I could at least sleep while she did at night. It was tiring but manageable.
DS (4 weeks) wakes for milk but then is wide awake for 2 hours afterwards. He won't be put down and he often cries for a good period of that, I think because he wants stimulation-if I give in and take him to the sitting room he calms down but if I stay in the dark bedroom he doesn't. I can deal with waking up every few hours but I can't deal with staying awake every time. I am exhausted. Any tips?
