My 10 week old won’t settle to sleep until she has cried herself to the point of exhaustion. I try getting her to sleep at the first signs she’s tired (rubbing eyes, yawning etc) but nothing works. She will only sleep on me and has done so since she was born. To make matters worse in the last week she has decided that she will only stop crying if she’s held so she can see over my shoulder, and I have to be standing up. If I try to sit down or change her position then she just screams. She has always needed to be held to not cry since she was born, but at least I could sit down before. She is a big baby so wandering round with her on my shoulders for hours is taking its toll on my back. It’s the only way to get her to sleep (eventually) or trying to bf her to sleep (which I know you’re not supposed to do) Once she’s asleep I can sit/lie down/change her position I don’t know what her problem is at the moment but it’s absolutely draining. I don’t know if she’s started teething as she’s dribbling a lot more than normal and has taken to chewing on her hands. (She won’t take a dummy). She is a lot more fussy than she has been previously and can go from happy to screaming in a second. Hubby's at work so it’s just me contending with her all day. I hate to hear her cry and am feeling like a failure that I can’t get her to sleep until she’s exhausted herself. I’m exhausted myself and am pretty sure this garbled message barely makes sense [confused][confused][confused]
