6 week sleep regression??

[SnowWhite26]

My lo is formula fed.Hevhasntbhadvto much of a problem with going down at night in his cot. He wakes for food once or twice then geberally bk to sleep unless pooed. In the day he is very much alert and finds it hard to get into a deep sleep. He doesn't seem content for long sitting in bouncy chair or on a playmat.Its so hard i have a toddler and i just want him to be a normal newborn and sleep and eat not spend hours awake and get cross coz he's overtired. He has now randomly started waking at night about 4 tonight just awake not hungry. He cat napped this morning slept for a couple of hpurs this afternoon then prob between 9 and 2 and had a feed then slept till 4. My oh is currently dealing with him. I need him to like the dummy or something that will settle him but he only likes it occasionally.Is there a regression at 6 weeks.I dont no what to do. Help please!

He even just sots in the carseat and buggy somtimes with eyes wide open. Nothing will def make him sleep. My older one loved the dummy :(

There's a growth spurt at 6 weeks - you'll have to ride it out I'm afraid. DS1 was EBF but spent 24 hours solid on the boob at 6 weeks.

I remember the 6 week growth spurt well, really was quite hard for us all, we just went with it not much more we could have done, good luck op xx

We're in the 6 week sleep regression although what you're describing sounds pretty normal. My LO will go on the playmat or in her chair for no more than 10mins before she needs attention and reassurance..she has a short morning and afternoon nap and a longer lunch nap of maybe 2 hours. She goes to bed at 7pm and is up at 11pm, 2:30am and 5:30am for feeds. At 6 weeks her sleep became lighter and she started cackling and being really loud at night whilst still sleeping. At nearly 8 weeks that bit has resolved now. She also became really fussy and clingy for a day or 2.I understand that just because it's normal it doesn't mean it's not hard especially with a toddler. Could you ask family for help at all? I've had to explain to my DH when he moans about being woken up the baby when I feed her that it's normal for her to be waking. Is there something about expectation.

Thanks for you ur replies. Its just insane how much hes been awake hes not even that bothrred about food. He had a feed at 2 then just randomly awake at 4 managed to get him bk to sleep by 5ish now up again crying but not wanting food. Hes now in bouncy chair wibbling round it kinda looka like he wants to smile? Do you think its because he can see more so just wants to be awake to look around and make little noises? Is that a thing? Bit frustrating that he hasbt been hungry since 2 as that would of been a nice stretch of sleep that i really need atm. Its so much harder when for a week you have had about 4-5 hours of broken sleep at night and the hormones kick in! X

Also he really fights sleep appears to be asleep then eyes wide open. I don't no how to helping him sleep. He must be knackered.
