Hi all,

New mum after some advice!!

My lil girl is 5 days old today and she has only really had 1 good night sleeping, that was day 2 in hospital. We got to go home on day three...

DD sleeps perfectly through the day but when midnight rolls around she cant seem to settle. She seems to always be hungry and she has a bit of wind. I cant tell the difference between wind and hunger at the moment, so if she doesnt settle, I give her the breast....

This has been our past 24 or so hours..

10pm (thurs) - 4am (fri) : very unsettled, feeding every hour or so to settle, wet and dirty nappies
8.30am : breast fed
10am : breast fed
2.30pm : breast fed only 5 mins and asleep right away
6.30pm : Bath and dirty nappy
7.20pm : breast fed 20 mins
11.30pm : wet nappy
11.40pm : breast fed 20 mins
1.50am (sat) : breast fed 15 mins
2.20am: unsettled
2.50am : breast fed 15 mins
3.20am : dirty nappy
4.15am : breast fed 15 mins
5am : still unsettled after burps etc

Right now i am holdng her and she is fast asleep.

So what do you think? Is this the normal pattern of a newborn bub or am I feeding her too much or not helping her relieve her wind??

Also, she likes sucking on her thumb and I think that she wants to feed for the comfort, so can newborn bubs suck dummies or will it interfer with the breast feeding?? The last thing I want is to interfer with her breast feeding but if it will comfort her and get her to sleep at night.... just not sure what to do!!

(there were dirty and wet nappies before 6.30pm, but dont remember when cause thats when i just started recording..)
