10 week old doesn’t sleep for more than 2 hours at a time
I would love some help/advice/encouragement/reassurance regarding my 10 week old 😭 I am so sleep deprived.
The longest stretch at night we’ve ever had was 3 hours and 1 minute! In the daytime he will have contact naps lasting 1-2 hours or sleep in his Moses basket.
BUT, our sweet baby boy is awake every 2 hours overnight for milk. He drinks both formula and pumped breast milk (my supply is crap hence topping up with formula). He will not settle any other way in the night, the boy wants milk!
He’s a grazer, he drinks 60-80ml of milk per feed (VERY occasionally 100-120ml) lots throughout the day. Over a 24 period he has the recommended daily amount of milk, just in lots of smaller feeds.
At night we put him down in a dark room, with white noise, in a next-to-me bassinet.
What am I doing wrong? Why does he like to eat so little each feed?! How do I get longer sleep stretches?
