My baby simply will not be put down anywhere. I literally can’t get anything done at home or even care for myself without somebody here helping. I can’t even go to the toilet. He is either sleeping my arms or awake crying .
I am sat on the sofa feeding him every 30 minutes. He falls asleep. I transfer and then awake again crying. Same viscous cycle. He won’t take a dummy. Does anybody have any advice 😭
I have a toddler that I also need to look after

Same here, baby is 3w6d. I can only sleep 1.5-2hr stretches at night by co sleeping (following safe sleep). Otherwise during the day the longest I can put her down by herself is 5 minutes on the playmat looking at the black and white toys which she seems interested in otherwise she’s in my arms from the moment we get out of bed. Doc said she’ll just grow out of it… Heard a few tricks on Reddit such as putting a piece of your clothing in the bassinet, heating pad then remove it before you put baby down so they can feel some warmth. Hope it’ll get better soon, any advice? (Written with baby currently sleeping on my chest)

Honestly same boat as you. I put my daughter in the rocker with her little blanket that I slept on during the night and that seems to soothe her enough for about 30 minutes 😅
