Great content. We have a 3 week yr old girl, we cant breastfeed, baby is very fussy and restless at night. In addition, she hates the swaddle and the bassinet. The only technique that works most of the time is sleeping on my wifes chest.

@@newkirk7591 We have another video about babies who will only sleep in arms that I think you will find helpful.

Great presentation and info for us sleep deprived parents. Your insight on newborns being uncomfortable gave us an aha moment. We realized our baby was probably over drinking, i mean chugging breast milk. We started pacing him a little at night and now he no longer gets hiccups, needs less burping, makes less uncomfortable sounds and most importantly sleeps much better. Thankyou!

Hi there! I am so happy to hear that!! Thanks for letting me know!!

[@hamnazulekha7363]

What about during sleep regression and teething?

[@HelpingBabiesSleep]

It is rare that a newborn is teething or having a regression.

[@hamnazulekha7363]

He is in his 8th week he was born at 35th week of pregnancy.

@@PsychologyJunction101 You should seek help from a lactation consultant, your pediatrician or an occupational therapist who specializes in feeding to get a proper evaluation.

OUr newborn is 3 and a half weeks.. and can stay up for 3 upto 6 hours.. He is a terror. My wife is breastfeeding, and he will latch on, feed for 10 minutes, and go half asleep after 10 minutes. Then we go to put him down and he goes bananas and screams until he goes again on the boob. Even after feeding on and off like this for 3 hours straight, afterwards with a full bloated belly, and 3 diaper changes, he still doesnt go to sleep.. My wife is at her wits end.. The moments he sleeps only stretch for MAXIMUM 1 hour..

[@HelpingBabiesSleep]

Please reach out to an IBCLC for some help. This isn't regular newborn behavior. Bloated belly is not a good sign nor is the falling asleep 10 minutes into feeding.

[@paolabecerra2504]

Ow my gosh!! I’m here at 2 am and baby wife awake … I thought I should let my baby sleep during the day for a little and let him sleep at night all he wants! But I figured he was overtired and he wouldn’t sleep at night and wouldn’t let me sleep either 🥲🥲
