Well babies been awake since 3am, and fought his sleep from 9:30pm all the way through to around 12, and then from 1 till 3, and is still awake now, feel like I’m cracking up from lack of sleep
@laurabump27 he’s not been bad with wind since being really newborn hun, if nothing improves tonight I’m gonna have a word with my HV see if she can offer any suggestions, it’s awful wouldn’t wish it upon anybody!
What’s Charlie’s routine at night? And his sleeping routine through the day? I was wondering if I tried cutting out his afternoon nap today but he was going berserk earlier on so he slept for about 20 minutes at 4pm, he’s in the bath now trying him half an hour later bedtime see if it helps any 🙈 xxx
@shannonn95 yeah that might actually work!!!... have you tried colic treatments? Charlie cant sleep if he has wind!!
Maybe if he sees you he can nod off better... keep him busy all day jumperoo wears charlie out!
Bless you all... were suffering today and last night with it too...
Its hard with no sleep... ive literally drank about 100 coffees!!
Xxx
@laurabump27 I let him lay on my bed for a change last night whilst I tidied up and he watched TV until he drifted off around 7:30 himself and he’d had an 8oz bottle, he has a bath every evening with the bedtime bubble bath, not done a night feed for a couple of nights and he was okay with it but last night he had one, I genuinely think I’ve tried everything he’s just a really bad sleeper at the moment I’m considering moving his cot into our room to see if that helps tonight because I don’t know what else I could possibly do xxx
@sara-lou86 yeah I got to a point around 5am where I was just like I can’t take this anymore so I brought him in bed with me and my partner slept on the couch and he just lay awake blowing raspberries and trying to catch my eye smirking, then he’d rotate from that to paddying until about 7:30am I couldn’t cope anymore so we had to swap around so I could get an hours sleep, tried him again with the bottle/dummy/lullabies/silence absolutely nothing seemed to work
@shannonn95 awwww whats he like in bed with you!?
Have you tried letting him nod off elsewhere then moving him!?
It sounds like separation anxiety...
How late is his last feed!?
Are you still doing a night feed...
Have you tried baby sleepy bubblebath it calms them for bed.
What about letting him drift off with cartoons on quietly in the background?
A mobile for the cot so he can be comfy and stare at it?
Is he too cold or too hot i know that can disrupt sleep.

Do you ever bring him in with you when he's really bad? I never used to like the idea but Morgan was always a great sleeper. Max on the other hand... I always put him in his cot and I always make the effort to keep him there but on really REALLY bad nights then he joins me! Only way to catch 40winks sometimes!
@laurabump27 he just wakes up screaming so I go in and settle him, he’ll shut his eyes then open them and just stare, get himself busy looking at stuff, I can sit for hours stroking his hair or singing, swaddling, unswaddling, trying him on his belly, both sides, calpol bonjela bottles dummies he will just eventually kick and scream, fight out the blankets, scale the whole of the cot throwing himself around it and launching his dummies, tried a night light last night he just stared at it all night 😂🙈 xx
@shannonn95 oh god... what does he do exactly?? Wake upset?
Hows his eating! I know... sleep is so important... its awful... xx
@laurabump27 omg ill pay you 2 grand to babysit him for 1 night 😂 he’s unbelievable at the minute it’s so bad I’ve had to go back on anti depressants because of the lack of sleep you don’t realise how important sleep is to you until it’s robbed from you 🙈 xx
@shannonn95 I'm gonna try not letting her nap today and deal with her being cranky see if she will sleep tonight
@mammalinley it really is I don’t know what to do with myself I dread night time, don’t know what to do at all I’ve tried everything
It's a killer ain't it, izzy has done the same for the last week or so
Does anyone have any advice on newborns not sleeping at night. Like it might sound stupid but my little boy is awake from 11ish till 9 am. Wanting to play but sleeps really well in the day.
