First post ever so hoping for some help/ideas/support!
We have a gorgeous son (4) who was a little bit of a struggle in his first year, very unsettled sleeper, milk allergy (went on nutramigen)
Now we have a daughter (12 weeks) who makes the last baby seem like a dream! She is so so unsettled. Prescribed nutramigen at about 4 weeks old, worked at first. But the past few weeks have become unbearable. Her naps are terrible, nights are worse! Every feed is a battle, every nap/sleep is a battle. She screams, cries, chokes and sometimes throws up she gets that worked up. Only seems to sleep well when walking with pram or pacing the living room for hours on end. We've tried white noise, infacol. She just seems so unhappy the majority of the time. I feel sorry for her cause it's not her fault and she clearly doesn't want to be awake she's just so unsettled. We have a routine and always have (it's not super strict but structured)
It's exhausting. I'm only getting maybe 3hrs sleep a night (broken sleep at that) it's putting stress on our relationship and most of all we feel like our son isn't getting the attention he deserves or needs! As awful as it sounds were getting to the point where we feel like it's difficult to love her, and it's breaking my heart to even think that! I know deep down I obviously adore her, but it's just so so frustrating and exhausting at the moment!
