DS2 is 2 weeks old and in the last few days has decided that he will not sleep in his bassinet, it's on my chest or nothing.

Is this a common newborn thing? How long should I expect this to be happening for? Whilst I love the cuddles, the house is starting to look like a bomb site, but more importantly, I feel like a second rate mum to DS2, I miss spending one on one time with him

I'm trying to find the right sling for us so that may help a little but I'm really starting to struggle with this and I'm missing my bed at night too, the recliner appears to be the most comfortable choice for us while this is the go.

He also isn't sleeping for long periods either, maybe 1.5 hours max and then it'll take me 2 hours to get him to sleep again after feed, change and a small play time. That doesn't seem to be enough sleep for a newborn does it?

Please tell me I'm not alone and that this will get better!
