Ds has been such a contented soul right from the beginning, he's not great at night but he's been so lovely in the day I thought the night thing would come in time.
Such a change from dd (now 3.5) who screamed relentlessly for 4 months.
But in the last week everything seems to be going pear shaped. he's had a wierd virus with a high temp and snuffles but no catarrh so understandable grouchy and needing more sleep. That's gone now though and basicall if he's awake he screams, like colic. It's hellish and it's doing my head in. Also waking up at night screaming but not through hunger.
Ocassionally get 20 mins or so respite but most of the time scream scream scream .
Continues to be a nightmare with bottles in the day (had to give up bf at 4 months for health reasons) 2 oz then more screaming, then waking up at night to feed more.
One month ago he was the exact opposite of this, happy, peaceful, smiling, sleeping for 8 hours at night sometimes and if he did wake up going down again without a fuss after a 10 minute feed.
What's gone wrong????
I seriously seriously can't do another screaming baby again, not after last time, it's taken me nearly 3 years to enjoy being with dd because of the hell of her early months, and the anxiety it generated.
Worse still he cries more if it's me holding him! And that's nearly all the time cos dh is at work!
I can't cope
