Unsettled at night

My 2 week old won't sleep anywhere but on me at night. I'm lucky to get 1 hr -2.5 blocks but obviously I'm not getting sleep during this time. We have tried infacol for gas and wind which is helping but the only thing I can Pick up on an issue is hiccups. They appear to really hurt him and hence he gets very worked up and cried for over an hour. Tonight he just cried himself to sleep eventually in the baby carrier so here I am at 4.30am again getting no sleep. Is there something else I should be doing? He feeds well and then tried to feed constantly during these sessions for comfort which doesn't help. We have tried Skin to skin, white nose, shower noise, nappy change, feeding

Aww. You're doing well mum. Cluster feeds are normal at that age. It's a comfort thing. Try to allow him to seek comfort while he adapts to this new world. Maybe Try nipple guards or a binky if your nipples are getting sore. The bond is worth it x

Thank you! I have come to terms with this normality of life right now.
