Hi there,
desperately looking for some help and advice with my 1 week old little boy. a couple nights ago he was sleeping for 3 hour stretches at a time so I felt some what together for the following day.
now he is up every hour doesn't seem to settle for more than 20 mins in his cosleeper he also non stop wants the boob. I EBF and he doesn't seem to have trapped wind or anything but im not burping him regularly as some say you should others say you shouldn't but the main reason is that if I burp him he's awake and then unbelievably wants more boob!
im basically not sleeping - a family member has said that if he's been fed and changed and he still won't settle then just leave him to cry it out but I feel too bad to do that.
if I keep him in my arms after feeding he'll stay asleep so im assuming the issue is a comfort thing and I love to have him sleep on me but I also need to be able to sleep and I cant do that without putting him down somewhere safe. too scared to have him actually in the bed with me
please please help
