scattered naps and confusion
My baby is 5 weeks old and she'll be 6 weeks come Friday, and lately her sleep schedule has been throwing me off. I'm starting to prefer night shift because she just does not sleep during the day. Maybe a couple of naps here and there but they don't last 2 hours like the nighttime. I do co-sleep during night time, but during the day I'd love to be able to actually get some shit done around the house. I live with my aunt and her daughter, but most of the time I'm home alone from 7:00am - 3:30pm and I have baby most of the time. BD lives 3 hours away and my now current partner lives 45-1hr away but does help when they're both here. She's really clingy most of the time, which I know why it's just that it makes it more difficult to get anything done because she constantly wants to be held. I've tried her bassinet and she doesn't like it anymore. as compared to when she was 1-2 weeks old. I'm so lost. I'm so used to feed, change, sleep repeat that now I don't know what's going on. She's just...awake and I don't know what to do with her.
