What am I doing wrong??

[TheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

Please help, I'm getting a bit desperate.

Dd2 is 4 months tomorrow, until about 3 weeks ago was a wonderful sleeper then something changed (lots of teething symptoms, plus 4 month regression?) and now I'm tearing my hair out. I cannot put her down, at all. Every single time, no matter how long I wait, she wakes up again. Usually almost immediately. Co sleeping at the moment not an option as we need but can't afford a new mattress.

I've made sure temperature is ok, she's fed (ebf if thats relevant) nappy ok, bedside crib nice and close to me for comfort, what else can I do?! I love cuddling her but I physicslly can't sit up all night every night, the only way I've had any sleep is by putting her down in the buggy and rocking but then that means I have to sleep on the sofa which, with dd1 in bed upstairs, isn't ideal.

Help help help please I'm losing my marbles.

Can you move cot next to your bed and hold DC hand through bars or stroke head/pat back so DC knows you are still there?

Forgot to add we've had success with Ewan the dream
Sheep in the past but he also appears to have lost his touch :(

Its a Troll Bedside crib, so three sided pushed right next to my mattress, I've even tried lying half in it myself! Not comfortable but if it would work I'd have carried on!

Can you bring buggy upstairs?

You know what I have seriously considered that! Unfortunately upstairs is two flights, the second one is quite narrow and our bedroom is tiny so even if I got dh to take it up and I squished it in I wouldn't be able to get it back down safely on my own in the morning. That said, if things don't improve soon I might even buy another buggy if I can find one cheap enough so I can leave it upstairs.

Is this normal?!

The first night one of mine slept through the night was in her car seat and another one of mine went through a stage of only sleeping in their baby swing on the high setting so either me or DH had to sleep on sofa, never thought of taking the swing upstairs until now lol

Me personally will give in to which ever way my DC wanted to sleep if it meant I got some sleep too for a few nights then I would try the cot again and keep going because eventually they should sleep back in the cot.

Hello

We've moved this to 'Sleep' at the OP's request.
