Hi all,
Firstly please accept my apologies for not being back sooner. Finally moved house and have given birth to this lovely bundle of joy
.
Background. He was born at 37+5 days. Delivery fine. But extremely jaundiced. Required two goes of phototherapy and was finally discharged from out patient care at 6 wo. He's EBF so far and doing fine wrt weight gain.
The problem I have is the screaming
. Before every single nap. It's like I'm hurting the more little mite, it's truly heartbreaking and I don't know what to do. I know he's young, but the sleep resistance is becoming an issue for DD now. Understandably she's getting frustrated with it all too.
Any insight would be truly wonderful. He's currently on my chest, falling asleep for 5 mins then waking up screaming. I ssh/rub and hold. And httj. There are many! But I can't put him down as he's too upset
Easy from the last couple of days. One ok and Today which is more typical. I walk most mornings so he usually gets a nap in the ergo sling, but not today.

It's a mess isn't it? Sorry this post is so jumbled. It's taken ages to type in between crying fits.
Anything anyone could suggest would really help. I have no idea what to do which is shameful considering all the time I had previously spent on here thinking I knew it all
. Well, maybe not all, but at least more than what I did with DD
. Turn out I know nothing
Tia xx
