Sorry I know this isn't AIBU just posting for traffic here. Baby won't sleep. I've had 1 hours sleep last two nights, what can I do?

10 months. Rolls around loads. Doesn't want feeding. Had a sip DP water but doesn't want more. Had Calpol in case teething. Only wants picking up. Cries whenever put down. Got white noise machine on and room dark etc.

Please don't suggest co-sleeping as it hasn't worked for us.

Is baby sleeping lots during the day?

Could it be 10 month sleep regression? It nearly killed me when our daughter went through it. Sorry - I have no wise words other than it will pass eventually. Sleep regressions are the worst.

Is baby over tired? I'd probably try bath and baby massage then into sling and sleep reclined with baby on me if everything else fails.
How are daytime naps? Are you in a routine of sorts during the day? At 10 months my Little ones were still in a 4 hour cycle so would need to nap after 4 hours of waking up.

A warm bath to relax them. Food, something a bit stodgy, DS always used to have a beef stew pouch.Warm drink, milk if they will have it. Are they warm enough or too hot?
I have been known to put a non sleeping child in the car and drive round the block (a large block in our case as we love rurally) until they fall asleep and carefully lift seat out of car into house. Then obviously stay with child whilst they sleep.
The really difficult bit is not to let them catch up on sleep in the day as you are really tired and just want some peace.
DS was an amazing non sleeper.

Is this is normal for them or different? Are they awake and happy or unhappy? What do you normal do when they are not settling?

I would assume they are unwell. Nurofen and anbesol liquid is best for teething.

You have my sympathy, I'm currently up for the day atm with my 1 year old who woke at 4.15 and refused to settle back down in bed with me or his cot! It's normally 5.30 so today is gonna be a killer!!! A nurse I spoke to the other day said to put him to bed later he will sleep later so I tried it last night and this is the result! He has 2 naps in the day if I'm lucky, one by 9am generally when we are up at 5.30 and at most 45 mins for that, same in avo after lunch so its not like he's sleeping lots in the day! The sleep regressions are horrendous (not to mention teething and 1 year jabs last week!) we are currently downstairs with sleepy fishes on YouTube in the hope he settles back down, he has blankets and pillows on the floor as his little bed that he loves....🤞🤞🤞
