Help! Newborn unable to fall asleep...

Hi mummies... any of you have experience of your newborn unable to fall asleep? My newborn is 1 month old now and seems like his sleeping pattern changed after the 3rd week. Now after getting up at around 5am, he is unable to fall asleep and keeps drinking and being very fussy and cranky all the way till 11am and sometimes even 3pm! 😑😢 He would drink milk and becomes sleepy but gets up after a few minutes. He can only go into deep sleep and sleep for an hour to three hours after 4 or 5pm... Please share your solutions if you have. Thank you!!!

My baby used to be like that. He went through growth spurt and it was really frustrating. He also cluster feed. But growth spurt may lasts up to a week. No matter how I swaddle, tried to feed him, it does not work so I let nature takes it course. He has also had colic. Cried for hrs and hrs. Brought him to a PD and was prescribed Ridwind. Only 1 take and he became his normal self.

High chance it's growth spurt because of the cluster feed. Colic is usually crying for hours. Hang in there alright! I know it's gonna be a frustrating time but this phase will go away on it's own. You will also need a helping hand during this time.
