Hi all,
Hoping for some advice as my 1 week old baby girl is just not settling at night. She gets herself so worked up it’s heartbreaking. She will go down OK but when she wakes for her first bottle in the night she just won’t settle back down. She is in a next to me crib. Since she was born she has been trying to suck her hands but gets upset when she pulls them away, so I introduced a dummy. But now she will either suck it for a (very) short while then when it falls out she will scream for it to be put back in, but now is not taking it when I’m trying to put it back in and then screaming even more. I’m absolutely exhausted and so emotional, I just want her to be comfortable and happy but I also need a good nights sleep. My partner has been great but he also had to go back to work when she was 2 days old as he’s self-employed and had 6 weeks off recently for an operation, so I’m trying not to rely on him too much in the night.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks x
