My son who is 12 weeks has always been a great night sleeper, I can put him down with eyes open after our bedtime routine of feed, play, bath, cuddles and he will put himself to sleep, waking only for feeds.

But the day are killing me - and the longer it cotinues the more insane I am becoming.

He wakes for a feed and we have a play, he gets tired - but if i put him down awake he screams, if i rock him to sleep and then put him down he either wakes instantly or in about an hour screaming - and now because he is over tired takes me up to 30min to settle him again, by this stage i give up putting him down in his bed and instead just let him sleep in my arms until his next feed. This means that i am holding him for all his 3 naps a day 2hr in the morning, 3+ hours at lunch, and 2+ hours in the arvo. He will sleep in my arms in my bed but I really canniot go to bed all day. He has just starting to do to sleep in the pram, it takes about 30min to get him to sleep but the minute I stop moving - he wakes up. He falls asleep instantly in the carrier, but my back is starting to kill me and with the weather heating up I cannot carry him all day.

Any suggestions. As with the 4 hourly feeds all day and night - and no time to myself I am starting to wonder if it is all worth it. - but then one smile, giggle or his cute sleeping face makes me know it is. But it is horible feeling the fustration.

Sorry to load this all on you, please any ideas in getting by son to have daytime naps by himself.
