So fed up of my baby

[FedUpofMyBaby]

NC for this as I'm ashamed but need help too. I have a 9 week old DD, she's my second baby I have a 4 year old DS. Since she was born she has done nothing but cry pretty much constantly. She will only sleep when held, if I put her down I get 10 mins and then she's awake screaming again. I can't take it much more. DH works 6-6 through the week and Saturday mornings so not too bad but I still feel at the end of my rope. I can barely do anything with my 4 year old as I am constantly holding the baby, her crying is monotonous. She has had colic and we have changed her milk which did help. I just don't know what to do I'm utterly miserable and wish I could just walk out and never come back. I have parents who live nearby and I see them every day but they don't offer me a break ever, they help out with her but while I'm there, I need a break away from her it's not much of a break when I'm still in the same room. She won't take a dummy, I've tried a sling which she hates as she gets too hot, she will sleep in her pram but as soon as it stops she wakes up screaming. I know there's not much I can do until she just eventually grows older and more settled I'm just losing the will to live. Any advice ?

My daughter has bad colic but white noises seen to stop the crying and sends her to sleep. I love downloaded a hair dryer noise on YouTube which seems to work. Could be worth a try

So glad you are feeling more positive and that you won't be taking patricias advice! Just wanted to add that a cranial osteopath seemed to work for us along with an amby baby hammock, they are pricey New but we got ours for £40 second hand on gumtree. DD would not be put down to sleep at all before the amby and although she didn't cry constantly would work herself up for a good hour of inconsolable crying before any nap/bedtime. The fact that you can adjust the angle they sleep at really helped with her early reflux as well. Hope whatever you decide to go with works!

Persevere with a sling. I wore my newborn constantly over the summer months and we were fine heat wise. A ring sling is only one layer of fabric and with baby on just a sleep suit should be fine in this weather. I've had my 8mo in a ring sling for an hour today she was in a vest, thin dress and tights and was lovely a cosy. If you can get the right sling it will change your life. Promise.
