My 10 week old DD has suddenly refused to sleep during the day.
She had her jabs about 10 days ago which messed up her sleep schedule a bit, and since then she has simply refused to nap. She won't sleep in a sling, cot, rocked, shushed, car seat, anything. I can see how exhausted she is - her eyes are purple - but she's consistently awake for 12+ hours. Eventually (around 9-10pm) she crashes, sleeps for a full night, wakes (seemingly happy) but then gets crankier throughout the day until by early afternoon she's screaming with tiredness again.
At the moment she is lying on my chest, in a quiet dark room, screaming her head off. Nothing is comforting her. She's been checked by the GP and she doesn't think anything is wrong because she can sleep at night and seems happy in the morning when she wakes. I'm at my wits end, can anyone offer a handhold/sympathy/advice?
