I'm so worried and exhausted and I don't know where to turn.
For about 10 days my first baby has been refusing to go down in his moses basket or crib day or night. He will be fast asleep and I put him down and he wakes up. He also wont sleep for long in the car or the pram. And he wakes up screaming. Consequently I'm scared to leave the house. It takes me an age to get him to go to sleep in the day and he is barely napping as a result as by the time I get him off, he's nearly due a feed again. When he is awake he is generally fussy and upset. He has only napped twice today and for less than an hour.
He has also been sicking up and the tonight he has projectile vomited loads of milk right after a feed.
He is breastfed but with one bottle at about midnight. He is often only going 2 hours between feeds.
He also seems uncomfortable and in pain maybe (?) after some feeds before he then sicks up.
I know I need to see GP but just wondered if there is any advice or anything you can offer. He is 7 weeks old today and was born 6 days early. He is gaining weight and went up from 7lb on 3 October to 9.5lb on 3p october. Until he was about 5 weeks old he would go down easily and sleep well.
I'm really really struggling and I'm exhausted from not sleeping and feel so down and like I can't cope with him. I'm mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted and just want to cry all day every day.
