My 6 weeks old newborn keeps waking up every 10-20 min at night.
She is usually going to sleep at 8pm and doesn't wake up for a feed until midnight, so she does one long stretch of 3-3.5 hours without waking up.
But after that, she constantly wakes up!
She makes a lot of noises, grunts and seems to be in discomfort from winds which wakes her up very very regularly. She then wakes up for a feed after sleeping for maybe 2-2.5 hours. Sometimes less!
Needless to say we don't get much sleep as she needs to be put back to sleep every time. I would DREAM of her sleeping 2 hours straight without waking up, but she only does that once during the night and that is it after that. And After 4am she barely sleeps at all, with some luck 1.5 hours (but still waking up every 10-20 min).
Anyone experienced this? Any idea why this is the case?
Side note: she's on Omeprazole due to a very bad case of reflux. But she always struggled with winds and always strains in pain when trying to pass stools.
