My formerly calm(ish) baby has started staying awake practically all day and seems to be getting incredibly overtired (red eyes, rubbing ears and eventually screaming, but won't settle) . She will sleep in the car and pushchair, but its not possible to take her out for 4 hours a day! This is made worse by the fact that she won't go down to sleep at 7pm ish, but is normally awake until a feed at about 10pm. Thankfully she will then sleep (waking for feeds at 3am and 6am approx) until about 8.30 to 9.00am. I have just called DH at work crying and in a right state, he offered to come home, but said no, as I don't want him to get in trouble. I have read old threads on this, and am trying swaddling, patting, white noise and will get blackout curtains sorted. Guess I just need some words of encouragement .
