sleeping during the day

[kiwigirl123]

Hi there, my little girl is 5weeks old and sleeps through the night waking up once a night.. but my problem is during the day.. I just can't get anything done!! She constantly wants to feed during the day and will fall asleep on me and if I move she wakes back up if I don't she wakes up. Also she won't fall asleep in her basinet only on me

I put her down and she will cry non stop. I leave her for 10minutes and by then she has tears and takes a little to settle

I had same problem with my first child, she didn't take pacifier and would constantly want to eat even if not hungry, babies have sucking reflex thru the first year of their life, do u give pacifier to your baby? Also swaddling as Suzy mentioned helps, u have to make changes soon while your daughter is a newborn cause later it's a lot harder, try to feed her, burp her and put to sleep swaddled, my son was unhappy at first bit got used to it already.

Have you tried swaddling her? My son was the same way. Then I started swaddling him after I fed and burped him and he sleeps a lot better in the day. They feel more snug and secure in my opinion. I rock him until he starts falling asleep and then I put him in his swing. I wait till he gets a little tired and fussy. He already has a schedule set. He's 9 weeks now and I've been doing this since he was 5 weeks
