5 week old baby - when will it get easier ?

[Newmum2127]

I have a 5 week old baby and each week a new problem seems to arise and things seem to be getting hard rather than easier I know it’s all completely normal but when does it start to get easier.? I get maximum 1.5 hours sleep in one sitting and up multiple times a night, I’m desperate for sleep and my mood is starting to decline because of the lack of sleep

Thank you !!

I now look at mums with more than one child and think they are super hero’s 😃 ! I don’t know how you do it

This is really random advice, but when my baby was gassy in the night I would let them nurse side lying whilst also gently shifting them so they were lying partially on me and thus getting gentle pressure on their tummy. The combination of relaxation from sucking and being partially on their fronts generally caused a fart and relieved them.

Yeah I’ve actually found that works aswell but for some reason, it works really well until about 4am, then I don’t seem to get any results from it, not sure why :(
