Our 16 week dd has been a nightmare sleeper for about 3 weeks now. She won't settle in the early evening, we try for 2.5 hours then end up taking her downstairs where she falls asleep on us. She then might allow us to put her down asleep and sleep for maybe an hour but will then wake and either not settle at all or just keep waking up every half an hour or so. Me and dh are exhausted! She also has eczema and starts scratching when she gets works up.. Not sure what to do anymore, we are ci sleeping but I really don't like it as I can't sleep well doing that either! Any ideas to help would be amazing!

Could you swaddle?

That would calm and sooth her and also prevent scratching.

How about one of those cots that attaches to the side of the bed, so you can cosleep and still have your own space?

Thanks for your ideas. She hated swaddling when we tried when she was tiny, I do wish we had persevered more. Could try again. Yes I think we may end up getting one of those cots. Last night we got about 2.5 hours in cot in two separate sections but then refused to settle and she also fed a lot last night again. She's gone up from the 75th centile to near ,91st! Hoping this is a stage that she will outgrow eventually.
