AIBU to leave an 8 week old to cry?!

[DONTPICKTHEMILKSPOTS]

I've been rocking him in a swing chair on and off since 7pm. Not to mention the hellish day.

I only breed arsehole children that don't sleep. Though I love them very very much.

I've tried countless things.
White noise
Black out blinds
Routines (I paid £34 for one!)
Something that smells like me
Various swing chairs
Rocking chair
Patting
Shush and pat
Etc etc etc etc

Now he's ridiculously over tired and I'm ridiculously pissed off.
My first child was the same.

The ONLY way he sleeps is in the car.

It's not sustainable to do every nap and bed time in the car.

He's next to me screaming.

I'm not asking for suggestions.
Believe me, I've tried it.

Do you breastfeed? My daughter made it to 6 weeks exclusive bfeeding and didn't sleep at all. I was properly losing the plot. A health visitor came, watched me feed for fourtt minutes then took her and put her down for a sleep that lasted all of 30 seconds. She then suggested a bottle to rule out her being hungry. She drank an entire bottle. From then on I mix fed and the sleep improved. Been there and you have my sympathy

Ah just read a bit further about supply. Ignore that clearly not relevant

Awww op!
Get some time to yourself now!!!
My first child also needed THE CAR many time in the middle of the night - that’s when you get your husband to help.
It’ll get better.
Do walk away when you need to.
Do stop and look at his gorgeous little face.
The bfing will get better as he gets bigger - you are right.
You’re doing great.
Best of luck xxx
