DS2 is 5 weeks old and seems to be so discontented and hard to settle at all during the day. The nights are ok so far. We do bath and bottle and bed starting at 6ish so he is normally down and asleep in his basket by 7.15pm. He will usually sleep until 1am and then take 4-5oz of formula and settle well. He will then wake between 5am and 6am but willl be unsettled from then throughout the day. He will grizzle and cry on and off from that early morning feed until the next one whether he is swaddled and put back into his moses basket or left in his swing with white noise in the background. He usually goes 3 hours between feeds during the day but very rarely settles to sleep in between them unless we are out and he is in his buggy. I should add that his cries are so angry and loud and he will just keep going and going until the next feed although I don't think it is hunger that is making him cry as it starts as soon as we finish the bottle even if he doesn't want any more milk.
I don't mind him being awake but find the constant crying very wearing. I also have a very lively 18 montho old and it feels very unfair on him that the constant background noise to his day is a screaming newborn!
Any advice would be much appreciated!
