[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby is a slow eater and my storage capacity is low so he eats every 2 hours, for 45 minutes each feed, which means I’m spending literally half my day feeding him. He also won’t sleep except in my arms so I spend the next hour holding him and then the cycle repeats. [/quote]

Mine was like this and he slowly grew out of it. Around 6 months I felt like I was getting my life back. My second is much less needy.

[b]I wish I had known some babies just don't sleep well so I wouldn't have spent 30 minutes trying to get a baby to sleep for at most 45 minutes.[/b] [/quote]

This is how my good sleeper was at 8 weeks. At least 20 minutes of swaddle and rocking to “drowsy but awake” and then putting her in the bassinet and rocking her with my hand for several more minutes for every shitty nap. I used to set a timer so I wouldn’t go insane. A few weeks after that it was 5 minutes and now at 12 weeks I just put her in her crib and wave goodbye. The naps are still 45 minutes though. [/quote]
