Baby won’t sleep

Just a rant. Don’t even think there are solutions we haven’t tried or thought of and know won’t work. He’s 16 weeks old. Had quite a few bad nights. He’s never really slept through. We’ve been trying to get him to sleep since 7pm. Tried feeding to sleep which usually works but he’s just having a bad tummy. He’s had this for 2 weeks and we’re waiting for sample to come back. Doesn’t seem to hurt him though. Bouncing on the ball isn’t working either. Tried putting him in our bed. In his bed. Walking round the house. He just won’t sleep! Just crying when we try everything. Just sick of it and hate what life is now like.

Sorry you're struggling. In my experience babies don't sleep, no. It somehow gets better.

You said we, so my only practical advice is to try to take turns to give each other a break.

@Curlewwoohoo thank you - yes I need to remember that it one day will get better. Just not this day perhaps!
my husband is amazing and we do take turns but also like to be tackling the ‘fire’ together - always nicer when you have someone else to laugh with than cry alone! He seems to be alseep… for now! Sure he’ll be up again soon for another feed. Thank you for replying
