Over the past 2 days Savannah hasn't been sleeping real well at night. She used to sleep from 10-1, have a feed then from 2-6. Now she'll wake upat 9:30ish and stay awake and sooky until about 1am when I get so tired I end up putting her into bed with me, and then I get to do it all again when she wakes 3-4hrs later. Last night I was getting so frustrated, i'd put her in her bassinette and get into bed, only to be having to get back up 5 mins later coz she starts crying.
I try to wind her after every few mins on the breast and her nappy gets changed before every feed. I really don't want her to get used to sleeping with me as I don't want to have to deal with it all later on. She used to sleep great swaddled in her bassinette, so it's not something that is unusual. I know she's only 1 week old but I'm getting so tired and frustrated! She's fine in the afternoons.
Anyone have any advice? I don' normally give her a dummy but I tried last night just for some relief but she spat it out. She's not hungry either...
