8 week old awake screaming all night

[abigailwendover]

Feel like I'm being tortured. I haven't had any sleep at all tonight. Whenever I put her down in her cot she wakes and screams - not cries, screams absolute blue murder to the point where my ears are ringing. I then have to calm her down before I feed / rock / cuddle her back to sleep, wait til she's fully asleep and try putting her back down, but each time she wakes up either immediately or within 5 minutes.

What am I doing wrong? Everyone else I know seems to have babies ego settle. Even the ones who wake regularly for feeds go back to sleep after those feeds 😭

Have you tried placing a hot water bottle in her cot before putting her in??
