For the last couple of weeks dd, now nearly 6 weeks, has had very restless sleep a lot of the time, resulting in ever bigger bags under her eyes. She goes into rem sleep, 5 mins later stirs, makes noises and stretches as though waking up, sometimes opens her eyes too, then back to rem sleep for another few minutes, basically repeats this pattern for up to a couple of hours, until she wakes up properly, often wakes up crying and yawning straightaway. This just seems such like she's not getting enough proper sleep and is tired a lot, is there anything I can do?
At night she sleeps in our bed, day time sometimes in moses basket, more often now in wrap sling or on me or in pram. Sometimes she goes into deep sleeps, sometimes as above, in any of these places. Recent evenings been hard to get her to sleep anywhere.
Basically I'm just a worried first timer and would love to know anyone else's experience or advice as hate to see her so tired and feel like I don't know how to help, thanks.
