Noisy night time sleeper!

My LO is three weeks old, she sleeps like a log during the day, and seems to get a good quality of sleep however night times are a different story, feeds take a loooong time (shes bottle fed) as she likes to take so much, have a sleep and then wakes back up for the rest an hour or so later, and now she has starting snuffling and grunting and thrashing about, she seems to get such a poor night and consequantially I am getting bog all sleep which is leaving me feeling crabby and tearful as you can imagine. If this is totally normal fair enough but just seems odd that the day time sleeps are so much more restful for her

I have wondered if its her moses basket, it seems to sag in the middle and im giving some serious thought to setting her cot up, if not to sleep her in it to at least rest the moses basket in it so she has a bit more support

Any ideas?

I'd say, get her into the cot and into her own room soon. We moved DS1 into his cot bed after 2 months. Couldn't bear all the snuffles and grunting and I'm SURE we go to them more often when we can hear every rustle. His room was right next to ours and we kept the doors open. He started sleeping really well from about 3 months (ie last feed at 10pm and sleeping till about 0530, quick BF again and then slept till around 0630/0700).
DD2 naps during the day in her bassinet and bashes her arms against the sides all the time so I think all in all, big cot ASAP.

think your right, I was feeding her every two and half hours last night she gets nowhere near the 4 hours that the bottle is supposed to be and im fairly sure its because I can hear her every grunt and respond before she really needs a feed (not that greedy guts says no lol) Im going to get the cot put together this weekend and start getting her used to it, we dont have a room for her at the moment but maybe a bit of space will help matters at least
