Dd is 7 weeks and we seem to have chaos with feeding and sleeping. We kept a record and in 24 hours she had 1,180ml over more than 20 feeds, being bottle fed on Aptamil 1. The most she will take in one go is 70ml, so other feeds vary from this amount to a few sips. During that time she didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time during the day (3 naps) but we did get two three hour and one two hour sleep during the night. She is gaining weight (on the 75th) and plenty of wet nappies plus one almighty poo explosion a day.
It just feels that she's not getting enough sleep and is over-feeding. She definitely feeds to fall asleep, we have tried a dummy but with limited success so far (will tolerate for a bit but not fall asleep with it). She will have a 3.5 hour nap under the right conditions (on my chest) but doesn't like her moses basket or car seat, plus we have a 3 year old Ds so not feasible to stay in to have long naps every day (he is at nursery 3 days per week)
So, I'm keen to understand whether this is normal... or just a phase.....or something we need to tackle? And if so, how?!
