I don't know what to do. DD 2 is 25 weeks old and never been an easy sleeper.
It has gone from lying beside the cot holding both her hands to stop her pulling her ears off or eyes out. to the minute she lies in the cot full on screaming. Last night being the worst.
Took me nearly lying on top of her shh in her ear rocking her in the cot on her side holding her hands before she settled and slept. In the middle of in DH and I had a blazing row as he thinks we she let her cry and go and reassure her every two minutes until she sleeps. I don't know if thats CIO or CC but I don't want to do it I think shes to you but me screaming into a pillow with frustration and shouting at a baby is not good either. To top it off DD1 asked id DH to mummy to get out of the room last night and if mummy was crying downstairs. When I calmed down I went back and eventually got her to sleep.
Its effecting every part of my life I am sick of her sleeping beside me which is what i do when she wakes up for her two feeds, dread bedtime DH and I are rowing and DD1 is now being upset by it and as for the most important part dd2 god knows how she feels.
I have put a childs duvet under the sheet in the cot to see if it the hardness of the mattress upsetting her but laid awake all night as I was worried she would be sick and that it was dangerous, is it?
