We use a dummy but the mam ones. Will give these a go! And will get some infacol. Thank you! Been awake from midnight until 4:30 so far and she just won’t settle. Something needs to change 😵💫😵💫😵💫

We use baby blankets and when we think our little one is asleep we put them in the next to me and tuck the blankets down either side quite tight so he still feels like he is being held.
Have you tried a swaddle?
Good luck!! In the last few days we have gone from exactly the same as you to changing and feeding every 3 hours and sleeping independently in her moses basket in between, so it will change and get better for you too!! Hang in there!
@Lydia yeah we do this , even before he sleep and in the bassinet we tuck him in and he settles more most of the time x
Put a t shirt that you’ve been wearing all day in there cot at night smells like you then
Thanks for all of this advice!
My little girl is 6 weeks as well and I had this exact same thing but recently have changed her love to dream swaddle to swaddling her in a blanket with her arms out and I’ve been giving her a bottle of expressed milk before bed to make sure she’s full and she’s now been sleeping 4/5 hour stretches! I’ve also tried to learn when she’s awake and when she’s in active sleep as she is so noisy and flails around so much but she’s actually asleep so I’ve been delaying when I pick her up and usually she’ll sleep for another hour before actually crying so this has been a game changer for us
A velcro swaddle has really helped us get our baby down for longer periods at night
A dummy has been a real game changer for us. https://amzn.eu/d/dKv8GVa these ones in particular. We also started using infacol on a theory she had trapped wind (lots of straining and little farts). Something is working!
