Have a 10 week old baby who has cried from day 1, pretty much constantly. He's EBF, I feed him on demand, I offer him a feed everytime he's upset, I've tried a dummy which sometimes works, he's got a vibrating bouncy chair, tried the playmat, the sling doesn't work and he stops crying and goes to sleep in the pram or car but wakes up as soon as we get home.
He cries so much and refuses to sleep in the day. Thankfully he sleeps about 6-7 hours during the night but it's an absolute nightmare to get him to go to sleep. He screams until he eventually falls asleep.
He gets overtired in the day but won't sleep bar being in the pram or car seat and obviously I can't take him out all day everyday. Went out for Mother's Day yesterday for a meal and he screamed blue murder. Whenever my family see him they comment on what an unhappy baby is.
I've had 2 and a half months of constant crying no matter what I do and I'm not sure how much more I can take. I feel depressed and like crying all the time because he cries so much. I try my best and I feel like he hates me and I must be such a rubbish mum.
