Baby won't settle
My baby is 8 weeks on Tuesday and it seems a constant battle each night to get her off to sleep for the first time. Once she has a sleep she will wake up and feed back to sleep throughout the night but to get her to sleep in the first place is an absolute nightmare !
Any advice??
We aim to be in bed for 9pm each night but some nights she won't go to sleep until midnight or 1am

Leap 2 happens around 8 weeks. Look up the Wonder Weeks app it will give you a pretty good idea of what baby is learning/developing and will let you know when you can expect them to be fussy and when they will go back to being content again.
It's pretty accurate for most babies but don't expect it to be 100% all the time. It's a good ball park though for gauging what's going on.
Loved it with my first and will be keeping an eye on it with my newborn. I basically used it whenever my first started getting fussier than usual, I'd have a look on the app and it would always be accurate to dates for us. Quite handy xxx
My 8 week old has been doing the exact same thing since she was born, i feel like i could have written this exact post word for word!
I can count on one hand the amount of times she’s settled before midnight. It’s draining. I’ve tried everything, she just refuses to settle! She’ll do a good 4.5-5 hour stretch once she eventually settles. It’s currently 11:43 and I’m struggling to get her to sleep
