4/5 weeks and fighting sleep!

When my boy was 3-4 weeks old he fought sleep so bad!! Maybe try white noise, rocking? That’s what worked for him it took ages but head scratches too!!

My little one is 6 weeks and literally is doing the same thing! He screamed for 2 hours this evening and he was just tired 🥲 I genuinely have no advice but I’m commenting to let you know you’re not alone!

From 5 weeks up to now at 6 weeks old, she’ll only fall asleep if she’s on me or there’s some kind of movement. During the day it’s manageable because I can take her out in the car or for a walk, but nighttime has been a real struggle it can take anywhere from three to four hours to get her to sleep.

Last night worked a little better. I gave her a warm bath, followed by a gentle massage, then put her in her sleeping bag with just a babygrow underneath (no vest). I’d been adding a vest before, but without it she seemed to sleep longer and more settled.

Same boat. 6 weeks tomorrow and she has hardly been napping in the day. This evening she was crying none stop so I put her in the carrier and she slept for two hours. Just about to attempt sleep in the cot, wish us luck 🤞🏻
