I feel awful, but this is what's its come to.
I can't get my little on to sleep for more than 45/60 mins a time through the night.
He refuses to sleep unless rocked or hushed. It's exhausting.
A night feed has been dropped so I know he's not hungry, but I've tried everything.
Reducing feeds gradually, sitting and hushing, walking around, singing. He will only sleep in my arms, and I can't keep this up. I go back to work soon! I'm a single mother. So tonight, he cried for two hours (I went in soothed, stroked face and sang, and he cried and cried, I felt bad so I picked him up. Stopped instantly 🤦🏻♀️)
I feel terrible but this is my last resort now.
Crying it out isn't something I wanted to do, but I can't keep with this routine we have. I'm a zombie. I actually don't know how I'm getting through the days anymore.
He's no awake again! I picked him up settled him he fell asleep. As soon as I put him down he woke. And has been crying since. Since 11pm he's slept for 25 mins.
I suppose I'm just ranting.
Before anyone says you shouldn't do this!! It's my last resort. We normally co-sleep and it's just too much now.
