My lovely daughter is 7-weeks old and refuses to sleep until at least 2am-4am. I'm doing all the recommended things of ensuring days are light and active and that at night it's dark and quiet, but she isn't budging!
To add to the problem, she just wants to bf all evening. Last night from 8pm-3am I was feeding her every 45-minutes for at least half an hour. This cluster feeding has been going on for at least a month now, but despite the fact that she glugs like she hasn't been fed for days (!) I think it's less about hunger and more about comfort as she often brings up the milk afterwards / falls asleep when feeding. I put her down either when she's asleep in my arms (or almost asleep), but minutes later she's wide awake and screaming blue murder from her moses basket.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I don't really structure her day as she's so young and I'm bf / letting her sleep on demand, but should I perhaps be limiting how long she naps for in the day (this is usually one long nap when we're out and about with the pram and the odd 40-winks on my partner or I throughout the day), setting more regular times for bf, or trying something else like a soother or a specific set routine (although I'm not sure how you do this when they're so small!)???
Any help would be greatly appreciated so that both of us get the quality shut-eye we need.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions. I appreciate it!
