Caffiene & bf?

[celine]

Hi everyone
My baby is now 3 weeks old and still very agitated, I keep reading everywhere that babies sleep between 16 - 20 hours a day..this is so not true in my case, he is always awake and constantly waving his fists around and cries alot. I think it COULD be because Ive reintroduced caffiene into my diet after avoiding it all these preggy months.
I know I am very affected by caffeine myself so could this be my problem with my baby? Im cutting it out completely over the weekend to see if anything improves.

The caffiene could be the problem, I think your doing the right thing by cutting it out and seeing how it goes. Hope it works xx

Defiately the caffeine may be setting him off, he may have some colic too which is normal at his age. The caffeine will make it worse though.

My lo hasn't slept more than 10 hours a day since she was born and it isn't caffeine she just want's to feed a lot and hates sleep lol. You are doing the right thing to see if that is what affects yur lo but don't be suprised if it doesn't make any difference. You have to drink lots as it does pass through your milk but only in tiny quantities xxx

My LO doesn't sleep that long...he's been awake since 5am, probs had 2 hours sleep in total since then! And I barely drink caffine, maybe 2 cups of tea a day.

Might work trying to cut it out, but might be colic to. My Little man is suffering from it, and his sleep is affected
