I realise that I am very lucky that my 6 week old sleeps like an angel in his moses basket next to me until 4am each night. My husband gives him an expressed bottle of my milk at 11pm and he goes down really well. When he wakes up for a feed at 4am, he then becomes sooo grunty, noisy and fussy. I have a fast let down and I know this affects him. But as soon as I put him in bed with me he stops fussing straight away...so must be slightly psychological!
I don´t really enjoy co-sleeping though as I can´t really relax so would really appreciate any advice on how to calm him after the feed. Dummy, soothing, patting, burping doesn´t seem to work.
