Oh my gawd, I am in the same boat Hollo...

Our little fella SCREAMS (almost hysterically) for hours on end and won't sleep no matter what (wrapping, rocking, singing, music, extra feeds) sometimes. He goes for about 9 hours a day of screaming with sometimes the only breaks being when he's on the boob. We have taken him to a day centre for help and been given all sorts of extra ideas but nothing seems to work. Every now and then we get a good day but that's not real often. He is WAY over tired all the time but we can't do much about it when he won't sleep... He's rarely awake and happy (ie not crying or screaming).

It is soooooooo hard and all I can do is hope that it will get better soon... On the rare occassions that Riley is good I just wish he'd stay like that.

The only thing that seems to work for me is to put him down straight from the boob (have him already wrapped - that's his biggest hate I think) if he's fallen asleep - but even that doesn't work all the time. Argh!

Anyway, I can't help you obviously but I wanted to let you know that you're definitely not the only one in this situation... Hopefully things will get better for us soon...
