Hi my 18 week old daughter has never slept longer than 3 hours at night, and that was when she was a newborn. For the last 8 weeks she generally only sleeps for an hour and 45 minutes at a time throughout the night, waking up screaming and needing to be fed back to sleep. Most of the times shes not hungry and only has a few sips of her bottle.
She can't keep a dummy in her mouth, it just falls out.
Giving her a cuddle/patting her/shushing her/white noise/swaddling/ music etc all result in even more screaming.
Putting her in bed with me makes no difference.
She only catnaps in the day for about 20 minutes every now and then.
I seriously can't cope anymore. I have no help, plus have a teenager and a 2 year old.
Does anyone have any advice on sleep training a baby so young? I really didn't want to resort to this but I honestly can't cope for much longer.
