Just looking for a bit of advice really.
My DD is 4 weeks and 3 days old. For the past 24 hours she's been terribly unsettled.
Since 6 this morning she's probably had 5-6 hours sleep, but has been really restless. She's fed nearly every hour and a half. Absolutely the most she's eaten in one day since birth. She's mix fed with bottles responsively, ebm in a bottle mostly (around 80% of her feeds) and the rest formula.
Is this the growth spurts the midwives talk about?
From birth she's not been the most settled, she needs lots of cuddles and we didn't have the best start with feeding but she's happy and well fed now.
I haven't managed to get her to sleep anywhere other than on my chest. I'm wondered about trapped wind/colic etc, but don't really know what to look for. She's trumpy but does pass wind.
Any ideas?
