DD is almost 3 weeks old. Despite following the HV's advice on how to get her back on track (daytimes bright, go out for walks, start feeds every 3 hours or less, nighttime dark, less talk with her, settle back to basket after each feed etc) there is absolutely no difference in her behaviour. She is totally wired from 10pm until 8am every day and just won't settle. HV tells me to hang in there as she will eventually twig. In the meantime I get v little sleep as there's no sleep at night and snatched half hours here and there during the day. I know its early days but I just can't keep this up, I'm exhausted and instead of enjoying my DD I spend all my time willing her to sleep :(
Can anyone reassure me that they've been through this and there is in fact any light at the end of the tunnel? None of my NCT group have this problem. I just dont know what to do. In case it's relevant I'm breastfeeding her.
