Hi, I know it's hard work, but this is pretty normal for a 9 day old! He's building up your milk supply and the first few weeks just feel like constant feeding, but then he'll settle a bit more and you'll be able to stretch the feeds a bit longer :) 

Hey, I know it's super hard work but this is completely normal and developmentally they are doing everything they're supposed to. Babies wake to protect themselves from SIDS so take it as a good thing. They also feed regularly because they are growing and also may be cluster feeding. It's truly exhausting but it's what they need to do to grow perfectly. Get yourself some snacks and a drink and find your favourite TV programme or book and honestly sleep when they do. Please do not sleep train your baby it is not biologically normal and at 9 days old is actually dangerous. Sleep training has been scientifically proven to cause long term mental health issues. They sleep eventually but even as adults we still wake during the night. Also, definitely search up the fourth trimester its super helpful! Wishing you the best mama!!
