initially baby didn't harrass me upto 3 months..he used to sleep at night waking only for feeds. after 3 months he started sleeping at 3-4 a.m sometimes even 6 in the morning. I stay alone so it wasn't a problem coz I adopted his sleeping pattern. I sleep when he sleeps.

I am not much troubled with my baby. It is only when she falls sick I stay awake to look after her. Otherwise she sleeps good. My best tip is to have a routine. Do everything at the same time everyday. Bathing, feeding, playtime and sleep. Naps are very important for baby's growth. If you follow the routine for a few days baby gets adjusted to the routine. And then you have to be consistent in following the same pattern. The early you try to train your baby the better results. You can start it as soon as your baby is 4 months old. Toddler age group will take very much time to adjust. So please be ready to train your babies early. First moms should have a routine.

My son makes me awake the whole night it was hard for me initially but this is just a phase it will change soon this is a precious time for me and my baby soon he will grow and I may miss this time it will change into memories..Start loving motherhood it will never be a stress ..love ur child more..when baby takes morning nap mom also should take nap during night if Mom feels so tired get help from the husband or ur mom.

Best solution is sleep when your baby is sleeping.
Console urself, as Itz phase which will hardly last few weeks.And then you will actually enjoy the motherhood once the harmony and rhythm is set between baby n mommy.
Pump your milk and let your partner or your mom or any other member in the feed the baby. But ensure sterilization n hygiene.
Have urself mummy around to look after you n the new born😀

some nights are such I cant even sleep as my baby cries.he sleeps by 4.00 am in the morning

Try to figure out why is the baby crying.
probably because of colic.make sure u burp after his each feed.
or he is crying and not sleeping because he is still hungry.
Sing lullabies and try KMc.
For his colic(gas) u can apply Hing roll around his naval or put a paan with oil on his navel.it shall bring ease.
also letur baby lie on her tummy for some time as it releases gas
