My baby is 3 months old and literally screams everyday from about 3pm pretty much till she falls asleep at 7-8pm, it’s heartbreaking because she’s almost inconsolable, I got so stressed I had to put her down in her buggy and walk away from her for 1 minute but then when I came back literally 60 seconds later she had fallen asleep now I have insane guilt that I’ve just let her cry herself to sleep and I’ve never ever done that in the years I’ve had my eldest so my heart has just broken! Is anyone else’s baby doing this if so what do you do to help them! I feel like the worst mum

My little girl who’s now 12 months, wanted to be put down sometimes. Still does. Maybe your little one is the same.x

This happened with my 3 month old, I did exactly what you did. Set her down and walked away - I needed to breathe and think about what to do.. and she fell asleep.
Now at 6 months old, whenever she rubs her eyes I just set her in bed and leave.. I just did this. She was alert, playing.. Then she rubbed her eyes so I just set her in her crib and she passed out the second I shut the door 🤣
