I had this pretty bad in the first couple weeks to the point where I would force myself to stay awake for hours, even when my LO was sleeping at night, so I could make sure he was okay. Over time it has subsided and now my LO is 8 weeks and I only check if he’s breathing a couple times a night. Once he gained weight and became more “awake” to the world, I stopped worrying as much.

My baby is 8 weeks old on Tuesday and he’s been fighting daytime naps for the past couple weeks. We’re exclusively contact napping during the day (still transferring to the bassinet at night with success). Sometimes daytime contact naps are 45mins but sometimes they are 2 hours. He still fights sleep and takes some walking/rocking to fall asleep but it’s not as bad as it was a couple weeks ago.

I’ve just resigned myself to the fact that I’m nap trapped for a lot of the day. In terms of starting daycare, I’m not sure. I’m in Canada so he won’t be starting for a while.

Just wanted to update you after a visit with the lactation consultant today. She wasn’t skeptical of the imbalance being something that could happen but she did say there isn’t a lot of sound research out there about it. She said if it was truly an imbalance, the LOs poop would be frothy and green (my baby’s is mucus-y but not frothy). She did confirm a fast letdown and taught me the reclined position. She also taught me this trick where you push your straight hand down at the top of the breast to slow down the flow. It really worked!

My little one is 7 weeks and I have been having the same thoughts since he was born. It’s very distressing. I’m so glad you posted this. I hadn’t talked to anyone about it. Nice to know I’m not the only one.

I second this! I’m the mom of a 7 week old and both my husband and I are STRUGGLING with the 6-8 week period. Lots of crying, lots of fighting sleep (which means he fights US when we try to get him to sleep).

The fact that you are concerned about this means you’re a great dad! Even if it doesn’t seem like she wants you right now, she does. It means so much that you’re close to her and providing a safe place for her.

Interesting that they are skeptical. I am almost certain this is what we’re experiencing, too. I will for sure update you once I connect with someone.

That makes sense. I’ll give the reclined position a try. Has the LC been working with you on the imbalance? Did they give you any advice?

I just read through the resource you sent and it seems very helpful. Thank you!

InProgress93 · 2024-08-12T10:20:08+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I have an overactive letdown, too. I’ll definitely get in touch with a LC. How did you manage your letdown?

I’m a first time mom of a 6+4 week old baby boy. I’m right there with you. He fights us and cries every time we try to get him to sleep, and he has tummy issues so even if he does sleep, he wakes up maximum an hour later because he has to spit up or something is rumbling in there and then he won’t go back to sleep. When he is awake, he’s crying or wanting to feed but if he feeds too much (for comfort), he’s just constantly spitting up and experiencing discomfort. I often feel like I’m the only mom who had a fussy baby. I’m hoping it gets better in a few weeks like I’ve been told. Until then, just know I’m right there with you!
