I'm quite used to long term sleep deprivation as my now preschooler woke every 15-40 mins for months and didn't sleep through until recently. I breastfed DC1 too and remember the sleepless newborn days etc etc and know they are par for the course
For a completely unrelated and unfortunately timed reason the first night and then with labour the next and first night with baby on ward last night I think I've managed less than 1-2 hours broken sleep per night (/per 24 hours) for the last 3 nights and I'm in so much pain with stitches and after pains
Baby has been cluster feeding for 3.5 hours now, and it's still day 1 so just colostrum. Latch looks and feels good, Can hear swallowing, she's thrown up some a few times and seems plenty, several wet and dirty nappies since she was born last night. Have also given hand expressed colostrum
Is this normal cluster feeding or is she actually not getting enough after all? I can't put her down as she bites her hands and cries and gives feeding signals until I put her back on, this also happens if I simply cuddle her and rock her
I thought I was good with no sleep but I absolutely have to now. I don't know what to do. DH has DC1 and is doing a great job there as also a terrible sleeper
