Ds is nine weeks old and does not want to sleep. If I do get him to drop off he won't stay asleep. The world is just too interesting
Today he's been awake from .. Well... He's not really been asleep in the night either :) but let's say 6 am. I've managed to get him to drop off a few times but he stays asleep no longer than five mins or so then wakes up.
Any ideas? I've tried boring him to sleep, I don't reward wake ups with instant food or attention, I try to give him a few minutes to settle if he's grizzly although I don't leave him too long and I go to him immediately if he's genuinely crying
I don't feed him straight on waking ( nappy change or gentle cuddle whilst not interacting)
I've tried long walks in the pram, everything... Help!!
He hates the sling, before anyone mentions that. ;) the few times I've managed to coax him into it he's screamed his head off. I genuinely don't see how you can get anything done with them strapped to your front anyway.. They are so in the way!!
I'm about to go insane from having no time to myself to do anything. Help.
