Help with my five week old
« on: September 08, 2006, 03:32:31 am »
My dd has difficulty sleeping days and nights, we've been trying to pat/shh for over a week now, it only seems to stick once in a blue moon. It takes onver an hour to get her to lay down for a nap, she doesn't stay down long, and then its time to bf again. I'm going crazy because she fights her night sleep too. We feed 3-4 times during the night, I put her down and lay my hand on her for a good ten minutes, and she wakes 15 minutes or so after I lay down, crying hysterically. Then I've got to calm her down, usually takes a half hour and try to put her down, usually dh wakes up too and tries to put her down, but nothing seems to work. I need help badly, any suggestions would be welcome. Where is the light at the end of the tunnel, I feel like I'm losing it and it is getting harder by the hour!!
