Help! I (FTM) am at my wits end and all the reading across the internet is confusing me. My LO is 8wks so I know there is a bit of a “leap” at this time but the lil guy won’t sleep at all unless he’s contact sleeping. He has to always be on mine or my husband’s chest or in our arms. This leaves zero time for anything else to be done throughout the day. I just returned to work 2 days ago at drastically reduced hours but I still just feel so overwhelmed with his sleeping (or lack thereof) lately, throughout all hours of day.
During weeks 3-5 we had a pretty decent routine where he’d sleep at least 3-4 hour chunks but now the guy won’t go down and stay down for more than 10 minutes unless he’s being held. Am I just overreacting and is this normal? I had to remind myself earlier today that I’m so lucky to be in this position b/c we struggled to conceive for years before we got our little guy. I feel like I’m shouting into the void and I just need some validation that this is normal and there’s a light at the end of this.
I’m also keeping in mind that teething will be here soon too. :/
