My baby girl ( 1 month ) is exhausting me - she will not sleep before about two in the morning! I don't know what to do - i am so tired as my elder child is up between 6 and 7 every day and even after Amelia does eventually sleep, she wakes at 4 for a feed
During the day she sleeps fairly well - everyone has said to try and keep her awake more, but it is near on impossible to make a 4 wk baby stay awake so she sleeps on and off all day, i wake her for a bath by about 8 and that is it - she will not settle again! She normally has a feed about 10 - 11pm and she is sooo agitated/restless from then till she falls asleep - it's awful!
What can i do? I need some sleep
How did you guys encourage a good sleeping pattern/routine?
Please tell me it will get easier - i feel like im going mad!
