Day 2 with New Born Baby:
Obviously it's early days with our newborn, and we're complete novices!
Basically, our baby has gone for really long periods without sleeping. She's been awake now for about 5 hours. In that time we've had 3 dirty nappies, 1 very wet nappy, 3 sicks roughly an hour after feeds with screaming (she's very mucousy which I've been reassured is normal) and no signs of sleeping yet.
We've now relented into taking shifts because she will sleep beautifully in our arms. I'm going to do 3 hours now while DP sleeps, hopefully a feed will happen on that time and then I will sleep for (hopefully) 3 hours while DP stats awake.
We're doing this purely to get some sleep but obviously worried it will set a president.
Did you have this problem on the early days? How did you overcome it?
