Hi! My DD is 8 weeks, and I have a 3yo DS. My DD doesn't fall asleep on her own. Instead she quickly becomes overtired and cries very hard. Since she's so little, she has a very short A window, and we exclusively BF, which takes up about half of her A time. It's very hard for us to get out and do our normal activities, like playgroups or library programs, because she cries the whole time. But I feel bad for my DS because I feel like we've become hermits since the baby was born, and that doesn't seem fair to him (plus I miss hanging out with other adults). I've tried pacifiers, wearing her, rocking her in her car seat, but nothing makes her sleep while we're out. At home we tightly swaddle, darken the room, and use loud white noise - conditions that are hard to replicate in public. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with going out with a baby who won't nap while out? Do we just need to tough it out until she has longer A times?
