Hello - this is my maiden mumsnet voyage... I had a bouncing baby girl last Friday and she's just over a week old. Breast feeding is going okayish and the daytimes have fallen into a bit of a routine, where I'm feeding for 20-40 mins and she sleeps for 3-4 hours in between.
However, when night time comes, she'll wake up making all of the motions to be fed, but when I put her on she feeds for 10 minutes max before falling asleep. I've tried tickling her feet, blowing on her, walking around to keep her going but can't do anything to rouse her. Then I'll put her back into her moses basket and within 5 mins she's screaming to be fed again.
I've had a couple of nights where it's like this pretty much constantly throughout the night - on and off and up and down (with nappy changes in between) and wondered if anyone else had had this kind of experience and whether there's anything I can do or is it just a case of getting through it and finding a routine as she's only a week old...
Help!
