Newborn not going back to sleep after night feed

[EllaWt]

Our 10d old is super nice and sweet and unfussy ... except at night she has two
Feeds one at 10pm and one at 1/2am but she won't get back to sleep after them.. usually we try to keep things dark /Quiet but to no avail... any tips?

My baby is ten days old too

Have you tried swaddling her and then cuddling? A good swaddle tends to send mine off to sleep. Otherwise it might just be that night is currently her ‘awake’ time and she just needs longer to adjust to the difference between night and day.

Are you breast feeding for formula feeding?

Their body clock is still adjusting at that age. They have no idea about night and day for a few more weeks. I spent most of the early days watching loads on Netflix to pass the time when my DD thought it was play time in the middle of the night.

I used to read my Kindle on a low light and be really really quiet and boring until she went back to sleep. She was pretty good at day and night from about five weeks (to the point where she barely napped from then on until she gave up napping at 20 months 😩)
