Oh Sandy, don't forget being postpartum, you're all very hormonal 
You're not doing anything wrong at all. It's just all new for him. Bright. Loud. Open. Colder. Birth is a shock to our little babes and some adapt easier than others.
I remember our first night home with Hannah nearly 2.5 years ago. OH was in bed because he had work in the morning and Hannah WOULD NOT SLEEP. I was so tired. We were breast-feeding and I didn't know what I was doing so it was painful and I was physically and emotionally and mentally drained. OH woke up around 4am to me kneeling over a screaming and crying Hannah on the floor and I was crying uncontrollably with snot and tears streaming down my face and onto her lol. He let me get 2 hours or so of sleep until her next feeding but still. It was ROUGH. She was a colicky baby and had reflux issues as well so that was a contributing factor but some babies just don't adjust as quickly or as well as others. You're both still learning so much about each other and it'll take some time to figure out what he needs/wants and to get into a routine. You'll be fine mama. We've all been in your shoes.
