DS2 born four weeks ago, 5 wks prem and with growth restriction so only 3lbs 5ozs. Spent 3 weeks in SCBU and came home last Weds.
He's gorgeous and really easy during day - just feeds (ebf) and self-soothes (mostly sleeps between feeds) or watches the world go by.
At night it's a different story. He feeds, then falls asleep on me, wakes up on being put into his moses basket and grizzles or yells until he's picked up. Last night I don't think I got one hour's full sleep until I gave up and fed him on my side at 4.45am, when we fell asleep until 6.30am.
I already have a DS of 3.6 so I can't sleep much during the day. I know this will pass, but I don't know how to cope until it does.
I wondered if it was something to do with being used to SCBU conditions - bright, hot, noisy - as well as standard newborn stuff.
Any ideas that might help us? DH not comfortable with co-sleeping (terrified of accidentally smothering him etc) and TBH because DS2 is so tiny, so am I.
