Hi Everyone,

I think my 4wk old has day/night confusion.

Loren seems to feed and sleep well through the day. She usually does 2 longer sleeps during the day with little cat naps in between. Come 9pm at night I usually feed her and then it takes me hours to get her settled, some times all night. Over night she really only sleeps for one hour at a time and needs re-settling constantly.

She is a windy bub and I have started to burb her during feeds as much as possilbe. Overnight she seems to struggle with wind and goes through sessions of grunting and pushing.

I gave her the dummy which was ok initially but now she wakes and screams when she loses it. This means I am out of bed continuously.

She hates being swaddled with her arms restricted so I swaddle her from the under the arms.

She seems to settle when I walk around the house with her patting her bum but as soon as I put her down she screams.

I am thinking of trying to keep her awake through the day and introduce frequent feeding in order to encourage her to sleep at night.

Atm I am mosting bfing and comp feeding when I have to. Additionally she loves sleeping on her belly but I am too scared to put her on her belly overnight.

If anyone has any ideas please help...Mum needs some sleep
