We're at 6 weeks with our son and the sleep deprivation is hitting different. I know it's still early but I'm trying to figure out what's normal. Anyone else dealing with the every 2-3 hour feeding schedule? When did things start to improve for you guys? My wife and I are taking shifts but we're both running on fumes.
That sleep deprivation is no joke. Every baby is different but we didn't hit consistent sleep through the night until around 4-5 months. Those early weeks are just survival mode, you're doing fine.
Six weeks in is rough man, I'm not gonna lie. With our first it took a solid four months before we got a full night, but every kid is different. Hang in there, it gets better faster than you think.
Sleep deprivation at 6 weeks is totally normal. Our son didn't sleep through til around 4 months, but my daughter was closer to 3. The fact that you're asking means you're thinking clearly enough, so you're doing fine.
Ours finally slept through around 3 months but honestly every kid is different. The key is not expecting it too early. You're still in the trenches right now, just focus on getting what sleep you can.

Six weeks is still super early man. We're talking newborn schedule here. Mine took about 4 months to get close to sleeping through. Hang in there, the exhaustion is real but it does get better.
