6 week old wakes after 5 mins crying

Hi hun, I know a lot of people don't like them, so disregard if that applies to you But does she have a dummy? I think some babies just need to suck to fall asleep and stay asleep.. she might be half waking after 5 mins, realising the boob is gone and crying. If you pop a dummy in when she wakes and try to pat or rock her off, it might get her backto sleep.

I also just realised that at 6 weeks my DD suddenly went through a period of fussiness where she wanted to feed constantly. It took a couple of days for my supply to catch up with her increased demand and she got more back to 'normal' with bfing patterns. It might be a growth spurt or something like that.
