I have an 11 week old breastfed baby who wakes every 2-3 hours in the night for a feed. He feeds well at night but his feeding is getting worse and worse in the day. He fusses or sometimes screams and refuses to feed when I put him to the breast. It takes several attempts of settling him them trying again before he will actually feed and then it is usually a much shorter feed than he will take at night. I feel like he is getting all the milk he needs at night and then doesn't need much during the day, but I don't know how to change this because when he cries at night nothing except milk will settle him! I'm so tired I fall asleep in bed with him and now he's getting used to being in bed with me it's getting harder to settle him in his cot. There have been 2 occasions when he has slept for a 5 hour stretch so I know he's capable of it I just don't know how to make this a regular occurrence! Grateful for any advice, I'm so desperate for sleep and some sort of normal routine!
