I'm writing this while my little one is napping for the first time all day! It's been one of those days, my little Velcro baby was just stuck to me.
He's 5 weeks on Wednesday, my second child (first is now 3.5yrs) but I've forgotten how tough that newborn stage is.
I know I should enjoy it but those sleepless nights are starting to get to me.
I suppose I'm asking advice - is it normal that baby is taking an hour to take a bottle at night? He wakes every 3/4 hours so I think that's pretty normal at this stage.
But during the day he is very settled (normally) very sleepy, but up for a disco at night.
A typical night - last bottle around 11pm
Then wakes at 2.30am - won't settle till about 4ish, then awake again at 6am for a bottle.
Is this 'normal' I can't remember?
Is there anything I can do during the day so he maybe settles a bit quicker at night ?
Maybe this is all normal, i really just can't remember how things were with my first.
Any advice, encouragement etc much appreciated
