Hi, I have a 4wo (and a toddler). My 4wo is a problem. She won't sleep for longer than a few short minutes (maybe 5-8) in my arms during the day, wakes up screaming and frantically waving her arms and legs. This carries on until I reject and out her back on the boob or she just instantly falls asleep through exhaustion. I've tried white noise, car, calmness, darkness, light, angled sleeping, wraps, no wraps, music, quiet, shhhing, dummies, nice warm baths, swings, etc but none seem to stop the crying.The only thing that will calm her is wearing her in a sling or a nipple in her mouth.
Weirdly she doesn't cry much at night, abd sleeps ok, goes back quite easily after a feed(every 3 hours). But as soon as the morning feed is finished the screaming starts again (I bf). I haven't seen her calm and awake yet. We swing between screaming, boob and falling to sleep either on the boob or through exhaustion of crying for so long. GP says there's nothing wrong but to try some stuff got reflux in case it's that but it's not changed anything. She just is so unsettled and it's so hard to watch when I can't help her.
Does anyone know what I can do to help her to calm down a bit (and maybe sleep longer than a few minutes during the day?). Having a clingy toddler doesn't exactly help either! I also try to not feed too often to make sure she's full of the hind milk but it's hard not to have her on the boob all day as it's the only thing that calms her and ours her to sleep fur a few minutes.
Help!!!!
