Hi
Bailey is nearly 3 weeks old and I find the mornings the hardest
He wakes every 2-3 hours for a feed and usually settles well but from 3 am through to 2 pm he doesnt settle after a feed he grizzles is clearly tired as when I pick him up to soothe him he falls straight to sleep within minutes but as soon as I put him down he creates within 5-10 mins. How long can you leave them or is it he can smell me ???
He did have constipation and this has since stopped and he now goes 1-2 times a day but he now strains when passing wind or constantly in his sleep he hasnt got wind as he winds really well after each feed.
My health visitor visited yesterday and I said I had these problems and she said he is fine just a noisy baby.
her only concern was that I wasnt putting time by to eat I had only had a yogurt and it is the same today been up since 6.30 and only just had a yogurt while he sleeps and a coffee and it is 11.30, how do you find time.
from 2pm on wards it is fine he settles after a feed and I seem to be able to compose my self and get myself sorted but its just the mornings I find hard I am tearful because I am tired and find it hard to do the simplest things such as use the loo and make a cup of tea.
Sorry for the moan I love him so much yet cant cope in the mornings will it pass, will I be able to get up and get dressed, have a shower without him screaming the house down?
