One month old infant barely sleeps

Post Body

We’re having a problem with our LO that she hardly has deep sleep. She’s one month old now. She wakes up to eat every one or two hours (which itself is small) but even then during that sleep she’s whimpering and moving and her eyes are open or partially open every 5-10 mins.

Ignoring this half sleep state she actually eats and sleep enough but the sleep is never continuously longer than 15 mins (I.e. soon she whines or cries and then falls back asleep)

Is this normal? What do you do to get your LO to sleep well between feedings? This happens to our LO even if she eats well and we change and burp her.

Just a note, sometimes I feel she sleeps too soon and doesn’t burp, so 10-15 mins later she wakes up and wants to eat more. I’m worried we overfeed her (sometimes she just spits it all back, but then again wants to eat). Sometimes she acts like she’s pooping but next time her diaper is only wet

As you imagine this becomes very frustrating and we lose track of what she needs. She also gets tired and fussy and makes it harder to understand what she needs

Sorry for the long text and thank you
