My daughter just turned 9 weeks old yesterday and I feel she is now more fussy than before. In addition, she doesn't want to sleep unless being held or cuddled next to. I love snuggling her but it gets to a point I cant do much of anything else. She instantly starts screaming crying if she doesnt get sleep. We ended up at the hospital because of it. She screamed for literally the whole day and got so overtired she couldn't sleep even being held and then started refusing to eat so she became dehydrated. So now I'm too fearful to ever put her down and try to make her sleep on her own because I dont want her to become overtired and dehydrated again.
Any advice? I've tried 2 bassinets, a rock and play, boppy, swing, white noise, lullabies, lay her down drowsy, diffusing oils, swaddling, not swaddling...the list goes on. I can maybe get her down for 30min sometimes. It's just odd because she was good about sleeping alone and we even had a routine of getting her to sleep by 9 or 10 and put her in her rock n play to sleep and we would put on her baby monitor and go watch TV for hours!
