Anyone else at 6wks and feel like all you’re doing is feeding and having contact naps with baby? I’m hoping it’s because of a growth spurt and I’ll be able to get out and about again soon 🤞🏻

Baby just won't sleep

My boys sleep has never been good. Usually wakes every 2-3 hours at night. Sleeps for 2 hours in total during the day. His sleep at night is awful awake every hour I think because of teething but now he won't nap for longer than 30 mins during the day. So today he's had one 30 one 25 mins nap. Why 😭😭 I'm so so…
