Hi,

I think it's a bit early to label him with "sleep issues" (LOL!) He sounds like a completely normal baby. There is a well beaten path through my clinic of mothers reporting exactly the same thing that you are reporting. Often, there baby is very sleepy in the first two weeks - the general theories include getting over the birth, drugs you may have had in labour or a bit of jaundice. Just when you are starting to thank your lucky stars that you got a "good baby" (AKA a baby who sleeps a lot - label that is completely wrong IMO) they wake up. Then you know you are alive. The first 6 weeks with a new baby is really hard going - I'm sure you remember)
Babies are designed to come packaged with an adult, usually mum. They need an adult close - and some seem to take it to an extreme. As you know, they sleep best in arms or in a sling. The great news is they change! it's important for you to look after yourself. Have you got some-one to help a bit with the older kids? Actually, maybe your 10 year old could help with a bit of rocking and comforting, do you think?
Usually you will find that there is a time of the day or night they have a longer sleep, and another time they are up and down, grumpy and irritable. All you can do is get through it! I hope tonight goes better for you

Regards
Barb
