please help with my sleep resisting 3 month old!

[lu9months]

my little girl has found it hard to drop off to sleep since day one. she has needed the dummy and white noise and her cot,and has also napped on the school run in the buggy in the morning. however, she is now very unhappy in the buggy and crying all the way to school and back , despite being tired. she is spitting out her dummy. at home she just wont drop off even in her cot, and is over tired and tearful as a result. she isnt feeding well because she is too tired, and we are not getting to have any fun together! she has no routine at all, and I think she would benefit from one, but how to get one when she just wont sleep! today she has had 30 mins so far but has woken crying AGAIN. she has rings under her eyes and is beside herself with exhaustion. please help!

Poor littlw mite, its awful when they just wont sleep DD was the same.
How does she go down/sleep at night?

We also used to have the prob with DD taking hours to drop off at night, we completely chenged everything we did so started bathing her a little later and giving her her bottle upstairs rather tha bring her down and that seemed to do the trick.

Mayb you could look to try and change the morning routine if poss.

Or baby massage.

No idea if it will help, but my 4 month old has done exactly the same in past couple of weeks. He has lost weight as sleeping too little and crying so much. I bought an electric breast pump and have persisted in trying to give extra top ups. He refused all bottles initially but suddenly started to wolf it down. One week on he is loads happier. I think he had got into a vicious circle and with a quiet week, lots of long walks, fingers crossed we have got through it. Good luck, it's really tough.

Go onto the babywhisperer site. Find the forums and give an outline of your baby's daily routine (or lack of!) One of the moderators should be able to give you useful advice.
Does she have a bedtime yet? We used to take dd up to her room in her moses basket at about 7pm and put the basket into her cot, then transfer her to our room when we went to bed. She was tightly swaddled then went on to sleeping bags. Room had blackout blinds. She didn't really nap well in the day. I had to try my hardest to force the naps. She slept much better on a full tummy.

thanks all, the good thing is, with so little sleep during the day, she is now going down well at night and sleeping much better at night. I will check out the babywhisperer site,thanks, I think she would benefit for a routine
