Crazy Anxiety 6 week old
Second time mum, and losing my mind with anxiety over my LO’s sleep. She has prolonged jaundice as she is EBF and has been investigated for thyroid issues. She has the all clear on both of these but my concern is that she sleeps so much! She sleeps through all the noise from my 3.5 year old! All she seems to want to do is sleep. She will wake for feeds in the day but I am still waking at night. If we are lucky she might have an awake time for around an hour in the morning, and often cluster feeds in the evening. She’s gaining weight but slowly and has plenty of wet/dirty nappies. I’m worried about her calorie intake and am so tempted to start on some formula. My first was so aware and awake at this point with so many smiles and cooing. Why isn’t my second doing the same?! Any one with similar experience please can you reassure/give advice?!
