6 days old baby keeps sleeping badly - falling asleep when at the breast and then sleeping for ten mins in his moses basket before wanting feeding again. Have tried best to keep him awake on breast through recommended techniques, but little working. Only seems to sleep on sofa in daylight with cushion for protection and won't settle anywhere else. I don't have a chance to nap as won't sleep anywhere I feel secure leaving him and never sure if I'll get to bed only to be woken up 10 mins later. Breasts tired of constant feeding and keep losing track which breast, etc.
Sorry for long post, but wondered if any thoughts/hints other than 'will settle down'....
