So Miss A has been a very unhappy camper since late this morning. The typical unsettled sort of thing and she would eventually doze off on me but as soon as I try to put her down she's awake within 3 minutes off and screaming again. Its now got to the point where for the last four hours she's been on me constantly, except for an attempt to get her asleep by going for a drive. We've tried the bath. We've tried the shower. We've fed. We've not fed. We've walked the floors. We've tried the swing, the hammock, the pram, the car. DH has been working all day and will be for another 6 hours or so, so I'm on my own. Miss'us I and E have been horribly neglected and have only just been put to bed.

I'm not worried that there is anything wrong with her other than the mother of all unsettled periods. She is feeding well, good nappies, alert (when not screaming!!) etc

Anyone have any magical miracle ideas to get my smallest girl asleep? Don't care if she sleeps on me, next to me, in her hammock or on the roof - I just want her asleep so all ideas welcome.

Thanks from one very tired, frustrated and losing her mind mummy . . .
