20 min sleep all day 😭

We had the same with our son (he’s now 14wks), and turns out he is allergic to cows milk (CMPA), after I cut dairy out of my diet he started to cry less and sleep a little bit more in the day

Have you got a baby carrier? My best friends baby really struggled to sleep through the day and quite often cried all the time, but she found going for a long walk in the baby carrier helped baby to nap! She found it calming too as she stuck her headphones in on the walk and listened to music or a podcast!

@Hannah she hates her carrier 😂 she's very small though so doesn't fit in it too well yet sl that mufht be why. She's usually better than this it's just been a really bad day and I started to worry if there was something wrong with her

@Zoe I've seen a lot of people gall about diary causing problems so I've cut back on it and I've been tracking when I've eaten it (cheese on my tea for example) and then seeing if any problems follow and there doesn't appear to be a pattern

oh I was totally unhelpful then! 🤣 there all so different aren’t they! I know my little one has had a few really difficult moment where she has cried on end! Hopefully it’s a one off and passes!

I know what you mean about the carrier being too big! I think she looks so uncomfortable in it! I didn’t like the sling at all either! So many people swear by them to get housework done and free your hands up but I just felt like I was going to drop her so just sat on the sofa with her in it 🤣

@Denise there's a lot of conflicting advice on day sleep because a lot of people say you need to keep it light and loud so they don't get day and night confused. She's normally OK with sound etc during the day but today she's just point blank refused sleep. She's fed loads so it can't be that and also pooped loads, tried covered uncoverd you name it 😂

@Hannah oh advice is never unhelpful! Different things work for different people so I'd take all the suggestions I can 😊 I've tried the sling and it feels super unsupportive, I think she doesn't like it because if she's near my chest she wants to feed and she gets frustrated that ut isn't happening 😂 she's like "where's my milk?!"

My 7 week old was like this yesterday! Just wouldn’t sleep despite me trying everything and got himself so worked up and upset in a vicious cycle of overtiredness!
He has been back to his usual self and napping well today so all fingers crossed your little one is back to her same self tomorrow and it’s just a bad day!
I’ve put it down to the big growth spurt/leap that happens in weeks 6-8

Oh I remember this happening to us around the same age and going to A&E to be told we were just worrying about nothing - ours turned out to have reflux and CMPA, finally got her sorted around 12 weeks old. Just keep an eye, and we found a great hold for getting ours to sleep that little was lay her head in the crook of your arm, her body turned towards you, rock and bum pat. Worked a charm every time x

I hope you all got some sleep 💕
I always find if this happens it is deffo over tiredness if all other needs are met.
Happened to us last weekend and me baby and the toddler cried 😂😂

I find if he’s not slept for a long period a wee drive in the car or a walk in the pram will help just settle him enough to fall over into a deeper sleep also gives you a chance ‘reset’. Get a wee drive through/take away coffee or food & listen to some music that makes you happy/relaxed.
- this baby prefers the car but my older son loves the pram and going over bumpy surfaces. You will find what works for you!
Your doing great 💕💕
