13 week old baby won't sleep

Hi

My 13 week old has been a terrible sleeper since birth. However it's getting worse. She won't sleep unless being held this includes day time naps. She fights her sleep. We have a snuzpod for night time and she is in it 5 minutes then screams. She is quite a fussy baby in general however over the last 2 week's she has started to wake every hour and will not settle easily. She's end. I have tried co sleeping she won't have it. She has to be on my chest. I am at my wits end as I am just so tired.

Have you tried a dummy??
The Nuk newborn is made from latex, it’s soft and small so they can get there tiny mouths around it. There’s also one made from natural rubber, you can order them from Amazon. Ds was a bad sleeper, as soon as I put one in his mouth, he slept for hours?!
The hard clear plastic ones didn’t work though. Good luck

Yeah she was 5 weeks early so had a nun bottle in the very beginning alongside tube feeding but she just gags if you put dummy/bottle anywhere near her. Feel like I have exhausted every thing. She just won't sleep. 😥

We ended up using a MAM newborn dummy and swaddling our little one in her blanket. We also quietly played a white noise app at night. Made a big difference.
I bought a babocush cushion which I used during the day if I needed a break - was very happy with that.

Or maybe your baby wants to be with you even though you're tired just hold on Wink

Tried mam, nuk, tomee tipee and she won’t have them . It’s the safety aspect I worry about most. A few times she has rolled off me. It’s just not feesible to carry on like this. Especially as she’s becoming bigger and beginning to roll over etc
