Of course you do. Put the baby in their room at night and let them cry themself to sleep. Might take a few nights but they’ll learn to deal with it.
If you don’t do this you and your wife are screwed.

3 weeks old is waaay too young for that.
EASY:
Eat, awake, sleep, you time.
3 or 4 hour cycle. It'll get better

I agree with reflux. Elevate her mattress on the head end and make a towel roll to use as a speed bump at her but. You can also twist a towel and put it between her legs, then safety pin the ends of the towel towards the head end of her bed so she doesn’t slide down. How often does she spit up? Is she breast or formula fed? So sorry, but something is not right, your pediatrician is wrong. Retired NICU nurse here.

My guess is your wife's milk isn't enough. Try some formula. Baby is hungry. I've been thru this

Spit up? Not much at all
She is being breastfed.
Our first concern that she wasn't getting enough milk. My wife is making lots of milk (based on the milk coming out after pumping), we even took her to the lactating nurse and made sure we are doing it correctly.
Now, we are feeding her breastmilk in a bottle after every breastfeeding session just to make sure she is getting enough.

Have your wife pump her breasts to see how much milk she is making, then bottle feed so you know how much she is getting and how much it takes to satisfy her hunger. I would do this first before adding formula.

Is she burping well after feeding?
Posted on 10/6/19 at 4:49 pm to IMJ127
If she is breastfeeding, may have to supplement with formula. Don’t worry that won’t make her stop breastfeeding. Has your wife tried pumping her breasts to see how much milk she is producing. If I remember correctly at three weeks baby should be able to tolerate close to 3 - 4 ounce feedings.

I know you are being funny, but you never know if others trust what you say.

Probiotics and gripe water. Also, if your baby is formula fed, change up the formula.

That'll give her an oral fixation.
He's trying to get the baby to sleep, not ensure that she appears on Blacked in 18 years.

Yes
see my previous response to your suggestion.
My wife is making lots of milk. We get about 7 ounces of milk from a a single pump session.

As first-time parents, the past 3 weeks were an emotionally and physically draining experience. Our new born (3 weeks old now) is constantly crying days and nights. She's been sleeping in our bed and refuses to go to sleep in a crib. She need to be constantly held-up to avoid the crying. The second we put her down (even when she is asleep), she'd wake up and start crying again. She is only getting about 6 hours of sleep a day. Her mom and I are barely getting any sleep. The only time she is not crying is when she is been breastfed. We tried the cry-out method, and she cried for 6 straight hours at night, she almost lost her voice. Doctors said nothing wrong with her, and she is gaining normal weight, she is just a fussy baby, and hoping for thing to get better soon.
Thanks for reminding me to pull out

After witnessing the birth of my baby and just how much I love her, I'd do it all over again in a heart beat

Feed her more often and make her stay in the crib. It’s hard but literally swaddle her up and just leave her there until she falls asleep. It will help her to learn to self soothe.
