Disclaimer: I'm not looking for advice, I just want a rant. I know all the tricks, white noise, co sleeping, darkness, wake windows, bouncing, dummies, cot warming, swaddles, reflux, cmpa, colic. I know it's normal, I know about the fourth trimester - just a rant!
My 11 week old (second DC) is easy as pie to settle for day naps. For night sleep it takes me literal HOURS to settle him. Hours. I get him to sleep and 10 minutes later his eyes snap back open and he's staring at me. Repeat unto infinity. Dear GOD it's frustrating. Gone are the sleepy early newborn days when he would happily just sleep on me in the evening whilst I watch netflix. Nope, he has to be in a dark room from 8pm while I endlessly bounce him or he goes apeshit.
Then when I eventually manage to get him down properly he's up in two hours absolute max.
