I'm 7 weeks in with my second child, and his night sleep is truly disastrous. At the moment he will go down in his next to me from about 8.30pm until 12.30 or 1am (which is a decent stretch!) but after his feed he just won't go down. We can lower him seemingly perfectly asleep into the next to me and he will either wake up 1 min later or sleep for 40 mins before waking up crying. He often seems like he needs to poo or pass wind but we have tried all the usual tricks to sort that out, to no avail, and anyway last night even when he had done a poo he wouldn't settle. I try to make sure he's well burped after his feed, and I don't think he's too hot/cold or anything. At the moment my husband and i are basically just taking it in turns to hold him, and I'm also ending up feeding him loads as it's the only thing that will calm him down. We are obviously knackered and would like some sleep please.
Any suggestions for what we can do, or solidarity to offer?! If you have had similar, when did it end?! My first born also slept terribly as a newborn, but in a different way!
P.s. we have tried to make cosleeping work (with my first as well as my second) and it doesn't work well for us
