Struggling

My boy is now 10 months old and just screams and screams and cries and cries, I get no sleep because he just won’t settle. I’m so close to giving up I can’t cope with him anymore, being a single parent is so fudging hard and I just don’t think I can cope with it anymore!!!!!!!! Why just why won’t he sleep when he’s so bloody exhausted, I can try everything and anything and it doesn’t work. The only time he goes off if he’s literally just screamed and cried himself to sleep in my arms. Tried every method under the sun, tried and tried and tried and nothing is working

Bless you, it is so hard. My boy will only sleep on me so I have to co sleep which I hate because it’s uncomfortable, I feel like he’s glued to me 24/7 and I don’t know how I’m going to be able to move him into his own room but at least it means I get some sleep. Although I’m up at the moment because he has a bad cough. What are his naps like? Has he always been like this or just a recent thing?

Where are you from I'm happy to help and give you support if your close to Southampton i have a 10month old and I can feel your pain xx no one should be doing this alone.

It sounds really really tough for you, would talking help? Sleep deprivation is awful. You can call your HV for support or Family Action, off loading and getting advice might relive you a little? I know it doesn’t solve your immediate problem, but something for now, or when your feeling it’s too much in the moment. https://family-action.org.uk/get-support/familyline/

Agreed, maybe he is overtired? My son did the same until I started using sweet spot from huckleberry. It was a life saver for me. I’m technically not a single mum but I’m rising him physically alone. The nights are the worst part if they are not sleeping well! Message me if you need to talk

My 10 month old is currently doing the same. Was always a great sleeper and then for the last few months just will not sleep at night, just cry’s and cry’s. The only way she will sleep is if we co sleep but I’m trying to be consistent but it’s just a nightmare. Following for any tips 😰😰

How has he been the last couple of days, @Incognito
