DS is 9 weeks. From the start he has notbeen one of those babies who sleeps a lot. He is quite colicky which I think is related.
But he just does not seem ti be able to fall asleep. I try to catch the window when he is tired before he gets over tired. Sometimes it works but then he often only goes to sleep for just a short while. Or he lies there half awake for ages until eventually a small noise will startle him awake. Then he cries.
He needs to sleep but I dint know what to do. I have tried a gentle winding down routine - bath, nursery rhyme, cuddle, bed - but it doesn't work v often.
I feel he wants to sleep, but doesn't know how.
Please help! I am desperate.
