New born is constantly crying (7 days old) and he won’t sleep. He just wants to eat all the time, and keeps crying until he feeds again. We accidentally overfed him for a couple of days and now we’ve been given a feed schedule which is a lot less. He weighs 8 pound 5, we’ve been told either 2 oz every 2 hours or 3oz every 3 hours. He Woke up at 2am this morning, fed him on our new schedule and he just kept crying after feed for more, and continued to cry until next feed. And so on. He goes crazy, starts trying to find the nipple, making all the feeding Q’s and head butting me for food. we took him for a drive, he dozed off briefly and cried as soon as we put him in his Moses basket and finally fully slept at 8am when my mum took him for a walk in pram. That’s 6 hours awake and crying most of it. is this Normal? Are we doing something wrong? Will it get better? He seems to be addicted to milk in a crazy way, it’s the only time he doesn’t cry.
sorry if this doesn’t make sense I have not slept.
