So recently my daughter will fall sleep and then get really fussy until she ends up waking herself up. She's only sleeping for a hour. She's awake for an hour and only sleeps for a hour. Why is this???

So proud of my baby!!! She is 5 weeks and sleeping for 4 hours straight!!

So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours...

Yesterday was quite hard with the cramps but I did manage to get a couple of hours sleep in. Midwives said only to come in when the pain intensifies over time and they didn't. She also expects them to be every 4 minutes apart. Surely that's too short since apparently second labour can escalate quickly?
