My infant only sleep on arms and wakeup
My 28days old infant only remains calm and sleep most of her time in arms and when we try to put her in bed after 5-10min she grunts, squirms,stretches,tries to put pressure for gas due to which she wakes up and cries and have to feed her every 30min. It's goes on for whole day and night. It's tiring and have not slept properly for many days. I sometimes doubt that is this normal? Im breastfeeding her whole day only at night I can't keep up the energy so have included formula at night.
Hi.
Your baby should sleep for 1-2 hrs after taking breastfeeding.
If you frequently switch your breasts during feeding, stop it. You should completely empty out breast before switching as the milk that comes after a while is rich in fats and is required for satiety of your baby.
Breastfeeding at night is very necessary for proper milk production.
You can also express your breastmilk and keep it in refrigerator safely for 6 hrs and someone else can feed it with feeding cup or steel cup and spoon.
Usually after 2 months, sleep cycle of babies will change.
I hope this helps.
Take care!
