Hi,
I am the mum of a newborn (2 weeks old) and for the most part she is on a 3hour schedule. But for about a week and a half she has gotten herself into a habit of not going to sleep after her 1:30pm-ish feed. She wont settle at all. For example, today, she fed at 1:30, and we have finally gotten her to sleep at 7:45pm (we fed her in between these times of course). Its really stressful, and I have really tried to do the shhh/pat thing that Tracy suggests and not to let her get over stimulated.
The other thing is that for the past 2 weeks she feeds at 1am and wont got back to sleep for 2-3 hours. Again I try all the things Tracy suggests and it's not working. Due to not being able to breastfeed my baby is bottle fed. She is drinking about 4oz per feed. And apart from these two times she's doing pretty good.
Can you please help me figure out what the problem is or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks so much in advance,
Alexia
