DS2 is 10 weeks old. Up until this week he was quite a good sleeper at night - I would feed him to sleep, swaddle him and put him down around 11pm, and he would sleep until 3-4ish, feed and drop back asleep, then sleep again until 6-7. Suddenly, he's started waking every hour. He's not hungry, sometimes he seems to have tummy ache but often he's just awake and crying for no obvious reason.
His daytime sleep is also pretty terrible. He will only nap if held or if moving. I have a 3.5 year old DS who is getting a bit neglected as I always seem to have the baby attached to me! I have tried the whole "putting down awake but drowsy" - does that actually work for anyone?! It never worked for DS1, not until he was about 9 months anyway. I used to walk miles to get him to nap, but I can't do it with this baby, not with an older one to look after!
Any suggestions, other than sling for naps? Please don't suggest co-sleeping, I have tried with both kids and I just can't sleep at all with a baby in my bed. Plus, DS2 will only actually settle if lying on my chest - by my side isn't good enough!
