Mine too same issue now.. went to polyclinic today and dr said it’s quite normal as baby is still trying to adapt to the new environment outside.. so for now not to worry. My baby wakes from 10pm to 6am

Not really. Only if she cries we get up. If she’s quiet we leave her to it. Sometimes we talk and play with her but not for the whole time. I latched also no use. Dr said don’t force them to sleep unless they’re showing signs of sleepiness then help them to sleep

Hello! My girl used to be like that cos she had colic and PD prescribed her with some med. Eventually we changed the milk formula and she sleeps so much better! :)

Ah my PD didn’t but I recently started on biogaia… milk formula we did think to change but was afraid his stomach can’t take the change. What is your LO on?

hi mummy! my boy is like that when he was younger. does he have reflux issues? colic? though at that stage, babies really feed quite a lot.

Yes he does… reflux and could be colic too. So worrying that he is awake for super long?! How did you manage this?

have u tried babywear? it helps because they get to smell u and listen to ur heartbeat close, help them to calm down and sleep calmly

You mean like ergobaby/tula? I heard it isnt good for newborn spine so havent worn him in it yet!

At 4 weeks old babies should be waking quite often to feed. Like every 2-3 hours, 24/7.
