She's never slept through. Has been waking up say twice a night for easy life I'd give her quick bf, then she'd go straight back to sleep, sometimes I would, sometimes not.
Then she got poorly (nothing major, cold & ear infection) so waking every couple of hours, but once better still continued waking up every couple of hours.
Me at end of tether. We decided to try to sleep train her. Problem is, if I go to her, she's not comforted, but screams 10 times worse.
So, 1st couple of nights dh goes to her (evening, say 10, 11 pm) and she settles. All seems well.
Actually had a a couple nights of sleeping through.
But last few nights she's been waking about 3 am and just screaming and screaming and screaming. If I go to her she will not go back to bed, if I try to put her in she screams 10 times louder. Whole house awake. Dh philosophy is just to leave her. I tried this morning but I just can't do it. I cannot leave her for 40 minutes, and hour however long just screaming and screaming.
But now I've been up since 3 am several days in a row, while rest of family tucked up in bed. I'm really really busy at, and so depressed & stressed out. I feel murderous, towards dh, her, the world.
When or how will this ever end. I've had maybe 3 unbroken nights sleep since she was born and I'm now totally fucked off.
