I am trying to get my 10 week old ds into some sort of bloody routine.. its making me so fed up :-(
All my friends babys sleep for bloody hours, literally my 4 best friends with babies all ebf, and not lying about sleep , think theyve had a bad night if they dont get a run of at least 6 hrs. I'm not even expecting that, just something resembling a pattern at least
he doesnt nap during the day. ever.
he will usually sleep if we go out in the car, but come night time I have to feed him to sleep, which usually is 11.30-12pm
I've tried bathing / massage / feed by 930/10 on several occassions to no avail, but tonight thought I'd give it another go
Its now 2256 and hes been crying lying on our bed since 2200
I feel so so mean leaving him but feel as though I have to 'break' the cycle of only going to sleep at midnight!!
The HV postnatal group session on sleep said it was important they could self soothe but he has no inclination, and screams immediately on waking
when he finally does sleep at 12 it had been till 4 and then 430-7, but now we've regressed back to 12-3 if I'm lucky and then maybe 4-7
I'm knackered constantly, which makes me fed up and unable to deal with the most basic of setbacks (teary over forgetting stuff etc) and I'm having NO time with my DH... its friday night and Ive been sat upstairs on my ow with a screaming baby. (DH offered to be with me, but after a v v stressful week at work I told him to go and relax with the golf)
I am ebf so cant hand him over, or top him up with a big feed to encourage a longer sleep
I dont know what else to try, or how much longer I can leave him crying without caving, I'm now at 1 hr and feel horribly neglectful
WWYD?? all suggestions v welcomed xx
