Sleepless baby 1 month old

My 1 month old is not sleeping. She’s been awake since 1.30. You’d think this would be impossible- but i assure you it is true. Since 1.30 we’ve been calmly sat/ reclined/ laid down together in a darkened room. She has repeatedly breast fed and I’ve given her a bottle just in case. She’s got a clean dry nappy. She had a bath this evening and is free of rashes, hairs wrapped round toes etc. Every so often She looks like she’ll drop off in my arms...so I put her down and she’s wide awake and crying within 3 minutes. She sleeps so well in the day. I’d happily co sleep but for that she’d have to actually sleep! Wtf do I do here? I have two other kids on school
Holidays to entertain tomorrow who’ll be up in 90 mins.

Oh dear, its so rough. You know it will get better, but when you're in that moment it's so difficult.

Have you tried a hot water bottle in baby's cot? Waiting for her to be in a bit of a deeper sleep before you put her down?

Do you have anyone who can take the baby and the kids for a few hours so you can get some sleep.

Let her sleep in your arms until she is in a deep sleep then put her in her basket?

Wish I could offer some advice but sadly I am in the same position with my two month old

I offloaded her on to my husband at 6.30am as it was light and the bloody birds were chirping.

With both DDs at this age I had to wait until they were in a deep sleep until putting them down. Otherwise they were wide awake and I’d have to start all over again.
