Hi

When Aaron was that age the only thing that would settle him was bouncing on a fit ball, dont know if it had anything to do with the fact I spent quite a lot of my pg bouncing and rocking on one!!! All I can say is it does get better, once Aaron turned 10wks he slept for 12hrs throught the night and had 1-2hr naps during the day with about 1-2hrs wake time. A friend on mine also showed me how to wrap him up(she had been showed how to do this by the nurses at PMH with her grandson), the first time we did this he slept for 4hrs during the day! Also sometimes they can have a very mild case of reflux which can be helped if you put a couple of phone books under one end of the cot which raises it just enough to stop it. The only other thing I can think of is to express some milk onto a pillowcase and have that in the cot next to bub and sometimes the smell of the milk is enough to make them feel as if they are next to you. If none of it helps ask a friend to come round and either do a bit of cleaning or to hold bub while you do some.

Hope it all goes well.
