Four week old keeps surpassing the wake window of max 90 minutes. Sometimes 3-4 hours awake and it’s such a pain for the both of us - I will manage to soother her enough to sleep - she sleeps ten minutes then wakes up crying again. Nothing is wrong it’s an over tired cry. Any moms with this experience? Is there something actually wrong?
I’ve got a four week old newborn and she has gained 1lbs since birth (surpassing her birth weight and gaining steadily). We were doing the waking her up every two hours routine but have since then decided it’s time to allow an on demand schedule however, she is breastfed and online says every 2-3 hours to eat but she does not wake up within 2-3 hours - she can go to four hours easy but we end up waking her because I feel like 4 hours is dangerous regarding her blood sugar levels. I am a first time mom very confused on what to do here.
My newborn is three weeks old - and as we wait for the new 1.0 sleep sack to come in we currently have the following set-up:
Baby does not feel cold or hot to the touch just sort of neutral temp (not sweaty etc)…
We measure her body temp at the armpit and she measures between 35.6-36.4.
I have PPA so this rang every red flag in my head but I cant understand what to do in this scenario. She physically shows signs of being comfortable and no shivering or crying etc and I feel like the layers I put on mimic a 1.0 tog sack and body suit set up as per the recommendations but having her measure at a lower temp do I add more layers or make the room hotter or leave it be because she feels good to the touch and seems comfortable? Whats best practice here?
I am about 3 1/2 weeks postpartum and I am having such weird experiences and I have no idea if these are to be expected. 1. Blurry vision right before or after breastfeeding/pumping 2. Random dizziness 3.low heart rate even not at rest - 40-50 on average. The low heart rate is my most concerning experience…
Can anyone relate or has their OB explained these experiences?
