I've got a 7 week old and am constantly feeling like I'm doing everything wrong with her. I've become obsessed with putting her in a routine but I can't seem to make it work. Every morning I vow that today will be different but then every day, I do something that screws it up. I can't get her to sleep in her moses basket in the day and spend hours trying to get her to drift off only for her to wake up 10 mins later screaming. She's overtired and won't sleep unless I carry her round. I was determined that she would sleep in the day in her basket and not have a dummy, both of which I've completely failed to enforce.
I feel like a complete failure and that I can't make anything work. I've been trawling internet sites, and it seems like everyone else can make a routine work - why can't I? I'm tired and overwrought and feel like I'm a crap parent. It's not meant to be this hard is it?
