Hi
Congratualtions on your new baby. My ds is just over 7 weeks born on May 29th so not much older than your baby. We went throught exactly the same thing just over a week ago, it lasted only a few days but it was very trying, i think i fed him every hour and a half for a few days there and he wasn't sleeping very well either. The only advise i can give is that you just sit and relax as much as possible, and like you i slept with Hamish on me a few times as it was the only time he slept. Believe me it does get better quickly and i know at the time you may think you cant cope with it but just keep thinking it will pass and you will get through it. The squirming and coming of the breast, my ds does this also, i am not sure what this means but usually he has wind and if i rub his back for awhile it usually subsides but not all the time, i also wonder if they ds does this when he is really tired, sorry not much help with that one. Your doing a great job and try to enjoy your beautiful new baby. My dd is now back to sleeping in his cot, i put him in awake and he settles him self off to sleep during the day, he takes a little longer when putting him to bed at night if i dont get him in his cot before he is over tired. I hope things settle down for you soon so you can start enjoying your precious baby.
