Nursing/ baby sleeping help!!!

[Saku]

I dont know this is right topic place or not.. but looking for any help I get.

I just 2 weeks back became a mum of my first child. .. and suffering from sleep deprivation.It seems my DS always looking for food even when he is full and satisfied but after 2 mins again wants me to hold him and feed.. when he is drowsy still he desperately search milk with mouth open with eyes closed but after getting milk also; doesn't go to sleep. whole night this goes on..

I heard chamomile tea helps mom and nursed baby to go sleep for hours like sedative.. but when I saw wikipedia .. it says pregnant and nursing women should avoid it..

Is any one can help me for this situation??

I think you should ask for this to be moved into the feeding topic, as there are lots of knowledgable people there.

We need more info. Has baby regained birth weight? Been checked for tongue tie?

Have you spoken to your HV?

yes she says its normal all babies do same ... and my DS gained 400 gm weight from the day born. HV says I am doing extremely well in breastfeeding. DS doesnt have tongue tie..

Sorry I couldn't find any Topic area under called "Feeding".. will be Thank full If you guide me to..

Hi congratulations on your snuggly newborn, right now you probably feel utterly exhausted yet want to give your son whatever it takes to keep him happy. He is so little, all babies feed a lot in those early weeks. He has a tiny stomach so can only take small amounts of milk at a time but already feels comforted by being up close to you and as you are bf that means it's all down to you. I hope you have a supportive partner or family nearby to let you rest as much as possible during the day?

If he latches on and you are not in pain during or after feeds and he is gaining weight and producing wet nappies, it sounds as if he has got the knack, keep yourself hydrated and try using a cushion for support.

A trick that sometimes works, to induce sleepiness, gently stroke his nose downwards, that can help settle him.

After 4-6 weeks it may be worth considering a dummy to help soothe DS at night - this is a contentious issue as some argue it might put him off sucking or muddle him. I would see how you get on during the first month. There is no good others pontificating about using a pacifier if Mum is on her knees with tiredness unable to function.

Haven't git time to post but sounds perfectly normal and will improve in time. Try goigling kellymom feeding your newborn.

Will Lo settle for anyone else? If DH puts Lo in a sling or in the pram?

Saku how are you getting on now?

Sounds normal for that age, it does get better as they grow. I found a dummy helped my DD, even though I was one of those mums who vowed NEVER to use one lol

PS try just spending a couple of days in bed with baby.
I found this helped with mine, I would lay with her, put something behind her back to stop her rolling back and she would just latch on and off as she wished, whilst I could snooze.
