Know it's early days as my DD is only 4 days old but worried as she is not sleeping in her crib at night at all. She is fine if cuddled up with me or DH but this means we don't sleep. If we put her in the crib, she screams and we have to take her out again. I had a rather long labour and am desperate to get some sleep in at this point!
It is leading to a vicious cycle as we don't know what she wants and why she is crying so assume she's hungry and I then breastfeed (or formula feed her if I am too knackered). This then leads to changing nappy, burping etc. which knocks off even more sleep time for us.
Any changes we can make to sleep routine? Is she likely to be hungry and need feeding that often which is making her not sleep or does it sound like she just needs to be cuddled up with us to sleep?
Any advice much appreciated.
