Sleep and feeding

Any advice very gratefully received! DD is 4 weeks old and have nights with no sleep. She'll only settle on me, but wakes up crying if put her down, then decides she wants more food, but I think it's more about comfort than being hungry.

Help, I''m like a zombie cow!

This too shall pass.

Sorry - that's not what you want to hear! She's only little and it's normal, she wants to sleep on you.

I'd work on putting her down at the start of the night and letting her sleep either on you or next to you (you can cosleep safely and feed lying down) once she wakes up. She'll (hopefully) start going for longer stretches at the start of the night meaning you get a bit more rest. Make sure you do sleep when she does!
