Feeding newborn

I am at my wit's end. My baby is 2 weeks only but during the day time she sleeps too long and needs to be dramatically aroused to wake up to feed and at night she wakes and fusses every 1-2 hours. I am not sure if she is drinking my breast milk fully so I ended up giving her formula. And after that too, she woke up after 30mins?! What am I doing wrong?

You didnt do anything wrong, love. I used to question myself the same. My baby is now at 3 weeks. She still being fussy from past midnight till sunrise. Sleep deprived is so common. Now she has developed a new habit. She will piss off even when she farts! Crying out like i smack her or something. Haha. It can be frustrating when they cry alot. But just remember thats the only way they can communicate with us. Sometimes they just want to be cuddle. Cos they had stayed in our womb for 9 months. We just need to tell ourselves be patient. This shall pass soon. And you’re not alone.
