My 6 week old previously very settled newborn has recently become an absolute nightmare. It feels like other than being asleep we have about 30 minutes a day where she doesn’t cry and I don’t feel like I can continue to manage like this.
I really try and stick to her wake windows but she constantly fights falling to sleep all day to the point she also gets overtired. I’ve tried sling / rocking and nursing / pram / out in the car.
she seems completely distraught most of the day and only sleeping probably about 3 hours in the day which I know isn’t normal for her age. Any ideas as I can’t cope? Planning on seeing GP asap after Christmas. Is this normal? she often cries in my arms, cries being put down, cries when you put a bottle in her mouth and cries when you take it out I feel like I can’t win.
