Dd is 12 days old. Feeding well etc. Having huge issues with over tiredness already. I really need help and advice please.
DS wouldn't nap and got incredibly overtired as a baby. It was the most awful time and really took a year to sort out. It dragged me to the brink of PND as he spent hours a day screaming while I tried everything to calm him to sleep.
History appears to be repeating itself, but I don't have the time (or energy!) to dedicate another year (and hours a day) getting DD to sleep. She has screamed before every single sleep today. I've tried everything. She's in a sling most of the time, still screaming and refusing to sleep. I put her down with white noise-same, I've tried feeding, shushing, rocking, everything. All to no avail. She is currently screaming.
I cannot cope with this, I just can't do it all over again.
She's either sleeping, feeding or screaming. I'm on the edge already and we're barely days in. I can't have the screaming baby again.
What do I do?!
