I have a 5 week old baby. I'm following the Gina Ford plan, which was a success with my 2 year old. We haven't had more than 1 - 2 hours sleep since he was born and really need help.
My baby feeds well at 5pm and again at 6.15 pm, followed by a 2 - 3 oz of expressed milk. He then won't settle from 7 pm until around 8 pm. We wake him at 10.30 for a 3 - 4 oz of expressed milk and he goes back to sleep around 11.30. He wakes up at 2/2.30 and I feed him for around 30 minutes...this is where he won't go back to sleep...just screams until 6 am.
He refuses a bottle of expressed milk at this time so we know he isn't hungry. His eyes are wide awake and he seems be to in some discomfort but winding him makes no difference. He will nod off about 6 until 6.45 and then is quite sleep all morning.
I really would appreciate any help as I'm not sure how much longer we can cope with this situation.
