Newborn Baby Seem Difficult to Sleep at Night

Hi, is it normal for a newborn baby who is 18 days old to be having difficulties to sleep at night? It is always at the same timing about 11pm to 2am. I don't want to keep giving her milk because I am scared she will vomit. She couldn't stop crying. She will only fall asleep if someone hold her. But once we put her down, she will wake up. Any solutions?

Mine had the same issue last time. I'm not sure what is the reason, though heard that it could be growth spurt. What i did was, give her small amounts of milk. If she refused, then i stop feeding. After that, I'll hold her to sleep, and when she is more deeply aslp, I'll put her down gently. Usually it works. It is very tiring, but i felt that babies at this young age need to be held to feel secure, thus i did that. This is a phase that will pass, so hang on!
