Swaddle, pat to sleep. When baby wakes up, feed baby for at most 40 minutes (if there’s extra time, you can play a bit), then start putting baby back to sleep. The awake interval between naps should be 45-60 minutes, meaning baby needs to fall asleep within that amount of time, otherwise baby will likely be overtired and cannot sleep for hours. So feed, then swaddle, put in the cot and pat firmly (cup your hand). Turning baby to the side and resting your forearm on baby’s thigh while patting baby on the upler back can give the feeling of baby being carried. That helped my LO start falling asleep.

Experienced this previously. Guess it is a phase that some babies will go thru and we parents have to face. Best would be to swaddle and pat them to sleep. My boy was very clingy, so had to be carried in order to sleep, which i gave in to. Gradually the situation became better over the weeks.

Yup. My boy very clingy too.

1 month old should only have a maximum wake time of 1hr. Without enough naps, they will be overtired and be more cranky

Normal, they are still adjusting to schedule.

Don’t worry it will get better
