It's not fair - how come I've got another one of these babies?

[BollocksToThis]

Highly alert, refuses sleep, won't ever be still, even when carried she's grunting, arching her back, groaning, shouting. Wants to feed lots but she's given up falling asleep at the breast. Been trying to settle her for an hpur now but have to go and get DS in 45 minutes so may as well give up. She's not 6 weeks yet, DS was 6 months before the hell of overtired crying for hours every night passed, How will I get through this and look after a 3 year old too?

Have sling, have dark rooms, have white noise tapes.

:(

Have you tried oat milk instead of rice dream? More er palatable or in sweetened soya or lactose free milk. They do cheese too. Hth

Oh how i needed to see this thread today! you have just described my DD exactly!

With her being my first i just assumed that all babies were like her and that i was failing terribly as a mother cause i've been feeling so overwhelmed by her.

Don't get me wrong i adore her and love the fact that she's already a feisty little thing but she is such hard work.

It's exactly as you've all said, she's 8 weeks old and i can tell that she's very bored/frustrated with the fact that she can't do anything yet.

She never stops moving, always thrashing her little arms and legs about getting very annoyed and fussy and won't sleep!

She has now decided that she doesn't like being strapped in the pram making life very difficult.

So glad im not the only one going through this.
