Active Sleep

Please help.

I am looking for advice or at least a little venting session because I am a tired, emotional wreck.

Our daughter is coming up to 4 weeks old and her active night time sleep is wild. In the day time she sleeps like a log, not a peep, but as soon as night time comes around normally 3/4am after a feed she grunts, groans and strains when she’s put back in her cot. Eventually wakes herself up after 40mins or so. She sleeps on me upright after the feed and is quiet until I move her! I’m also concerned she going to get overtired and just bring more issues we don’t know how to fix as we are still learning!

My husband and I are sleeping in separate rooms as he is working and she’s so loud in her sleep he hears her through the walls after his shift of feeding earlier in the night.

I can tell I am emotional and frustrated with this as I spend a lot of time crying and feeling guilty that I’m letting everyone down. My daughter for being uncomfortable, my husband, my dog who is neglected.

When does this get better because unfortunately she didn’t come with a returns receipt 😂
