@jeka03 I will definitely try that tonight. It doesn’t help that my husband went back to work this week so I was trying to protect his sleep a bit. Weekend now though so he can help more!

@jeka03 Nope it’s all the time. And he won’t even sleep on me. I unfortunately can’t leave him latched forever because I have ongoing nipple pain due to his (now corrected) tongue tie. It’s getting better but not to that point.

@wad54fer Thanks! Fingers crossed it passes soon.

@kathyk Thank you for the hope! 🥰 hopefully it peaks soon.

@wad54fer It’s normal for him to be awake for up to 5-6 hours at a time and not even contact nap? All the advice I see just says “try contact napping!”

@joyfulboy Thanks! We have been working on days/nights for sure. Unfortunately this all happens during the day as well. 😥 The problem is even while cuddling him he doesn’t fall asleep/get sleepy. Just alternates wide awake and screaming.

@mrsbambij Yes generally he will! Something to keep in the back pocket for sure.

@mrsbambij Good thought! He’s following his curve nicely although he is small. He gained an oz a day between 3-6 weeks which should be good.

@twinmama Glad I’m no the only one!

@paul500 Oh i don’t think he needs 3 hour wake windows! I can try earlier. Thanks!

@paul500 I can only be mindful of wake windows if he’ll actually fall asleep when he “should”. Which he won’t. Not on me. Not when feeding. Not in the stroller. Not until he’s good and ready which can be hours and hours 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mualahartik Thank you!

@angelonline Thanks for all the suggestions!!

@katvan1969 Nah it happens all the time unfortunately!

@katvan1969 I have! And it sometimes helps. But he often just spits it out.

@migomeabed Thank you!

@angelicawhite Fingers crossed we’re both through the worst of it!

@gwwhaley Thank you!

@god2good4me You’re right - I think I am getting caught up in the internet. You can see even in this thread lots of people are telling me it’s just because I’m missing his tired cues and not following wake windows. It’s hard. I have been surprised a few times when he’s fallen asleep on his...

I want to start out by saying I know I can’t sleep train my 6 week old. And I don’t want to. I know it’s biologically normal for babies this age to need to be held/fed to sleep. Except… it doesn’t work. I feed him till he’s asleep and stops sucking. Then I take him off and he’s wide awake...
