DD's sleep has never been great - I used to get maybe 3 hour stretches when she was really little, but it's gradually gotten worse (now 8 months). We cosleep and I breastfeed but there is literally nothing else that will settle her once she starts stirring. What starts off as moaning gradually descends into crying and then if you do absolutely anything - touch her, sing/speak to her, etc, she screams like you've just broken her arm. If I pick her up to try and cuddle her she will fight me, but she keeps her eyes closed the entire time. She will stir 10+ times a night (regardless of whether we're cosleeping or sleeping in separate rooms) and I've snapped at her a few times lately when I've been resisting giving her the boob at 2AM for the 6th time already. I feel like a horrible human being because I know she's doesn't understand but I have literally not slept for longer than a few hours since she was born and I'm at breaking point.
She has a sensitive temperament and I'm absolutely fine with snuggling her all night if it means she'll sleep well but it makes no difference. I just want to be able to cuddle her to sleep without her reacting like I'm trying to smother her, it really makes me depressed.
