....I feel like such a failure. My 5 week old won't go down AT ALL, day or night. He was fine for a few weeks but now just cries after 20 or 30 mins in the cot. We've tried everything.
I use a sling in the day sometimes (have a toddler) and bedsharing isn't an option unfortunately.
Dr and hv keep saying it's normal but that doesn't help. I feel wretched.
My husband is amazing and does loads overnight but I still feel terrible and that we have to fix this.
I spend all my time awake googling and it's soul destroying when I read other threads and then they say things like "but he does do x many hours at night".
Anyone been in similar situation? Ppl irl just keep saying empty phrases like "you're doing amazingly" which is so unhelpful and dismissive.
