Please help! I’m at my whits end with sleep.
Little girl is breastfed (3/4 times daily. 0 at night) and will only let me put her to bed! (When she wakes up during the night she doesn’t mind if it’s me or my fiancé (her dad) that gets her). When putting to bed i still have to hold/ rock her to sleep then transfer into her cot, same with her naps (if she naps!) but when she wakes up at night she’ll fall asleep in our arms but we cannot transfer into her bed again, she’ll wake up and start crying out for us to pick her again. The past few nights we’ve resorted to co-sleeping but I really don’t want to co-sleep and I can tell it’s already putting a strain on my relationship, that and not getting sleep. And it’s not like she sleeps in when she is in our bed either, it’s 4:30 wake ups and tossing and turning. I’m finding myself so mad at her and it’s not fair on any of anymore I just don’t know what to do.

We struggled with the cot transfers and found 2 things helped. 1) making him more tired before bed and 2) changing from a cot to a floor bed - we lay down on the bed with him as we put him down on the mattress and then get up after a few seconds!

Is this a recent thing or has it gone on for a long time?
My LG has been the same for the last week, which isn't very long but it's come out of nowhere for us. After 4/5am, she won't transfer either and even if we bring her to bed, she doesn't like sleeping in the bed, only if she's lying on me, which means I don't sleep.

How long of a nap is she having in the day and what’s her bedtime?
