Experienced mothers! I need help!

First of let me say I am completely against crying it out.

Okay my LO is 4 months old now and barely sleeps. During the day she sleeps between 30 minutes and 3 hours. Never all at once she will sleep for around 10 minutes and then start crying. The will be happy when she wakes up for maybe 15 minutes and then she gets super fussy and I know it has to be because shes tired. But she just wont stay asleep! I have tried everything I can think of walking around, singing to her, laying with her everything i can think of and she will fall asleep but not for long. Even at night she fights sleep. I need heeeeelp. I cant constantly be holding her I need to be able to do things with my day.

4 month sleep regression :( my son went through the same thing. All I can say is it will get better don't worry. Look up 4 month sleep regression on google and you might be able to find some helpful things!

@mychellemabelle yup 😩 Try and Google it. Especially if you said she was fine not too long ago and suddenly her sleep habits have changed.

She hates to be swaddled. She kicks evening you cover her up with off @cherryfield

That's why, cause breastfeeding has to be every 2-3 hours, babies digest breast milk faster than formula

I have a Mobi wrap but she hates it. I think its because shes against my chest and wants to be able to look around. I think I am going to buy one of the harness ones where they can be facing forward. @squeakpipsmommi0607

Opinions on crying it out?

Opinions on crying it out? My baby is 8 1/2 months old. I've tried the no tears method and it worked a couple times but now it doesn't anymore. I do squats while holding her and rock her (21 lbs baby) for over an hour each nap all for nothing. My friend said she did cry it out and by the 3rd day her baby would only cry 5 minutes and now he's totally fine with sleeping in the crib. Opinions please? I am the only one who actually raises my kid. My fiancé does not help and I have no family that helps. So it is very hard on me. Thank you Edit: because clearly some of the women on here think I'm a monster. I am an EMT. When I go back to work, I will be gone 24 hours at a time. My daughter is almost 9 months old and cries every minute she is not in my arms. As much as I want to comfort her every second of the day, I can't. And it's better I get her used to sleeping on her own now, than not letting her cry and all of a sudden mommys gone for 24 hours at a time and she completely loses it and I can't just get off work to comfort her.

omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but…

omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging
