I have a 7 week old DS. At first he would sleep happily in his moses basket for a couple of hours during the day and would wake up once or twice during the night.
However for the past week he has been sleeping through the night - from 10pm till approx 7am. At the same time he now refuses to sleep during the day unless I am holding him. He gets so tired and will pass out in my arms but as soon as I gently place him in his basket his eyes open and he starts screaming. This goes on all day. In fact he is only happy if I am holding him whilst walking around and jiggling him.
It is killing me - my back is in agony (he is a big baby) and I literally can do nothing during the day (by that I mean go to the toilet, have lunch, empty the dishwasher). If I take him out on the pram he will eventually fall asleep but as soon as we walk into the flat he wakes up and starts screaming. I can only write this now as he is screaming in his basket after being put in it when he was sound asleep and waking up immediately.
I have tried a ergonomic baby carrier but he screams in that and gets too hot (he is a hot baby anyway with his 'normal' temperature being around 37.7 degrees)
DH works all day and by the time he comes home at night DS is screaming as he is so tired. He screams between 6pm and 10pm when we finally manage to get him to sleep in his basket.
I have no life and need advice as to whether this is normal and what I can do to make him sleep during the day. I was happy getting up in the night with him and am not too bothered whether he sleeps through or not.....I just want at least an hour of the day to myself to shower and do household tasks
