Let me start by saying I am totally supportive of others peoples parenting techniques whatever they choose.
DD2 I need suggestions that don't involve co- sleeping please (if possible)
DD1 - I just need some reassurance.
This post also includes some venting.

DD2 is such a velcro baby. Yes - I know she is 2 weeks old but I can't cope with continuing down this road. She wants to feed/comfort suck every hour or so (this is better than the 30 - 45mins we had). I can't get her to have a dummy of any type (we have so far tried 3 different brands). I wrap her and put her down and she SCREAMS I give her to DH even just long enough for me to go to the toilet and she SCREAMS I have to cuddle her to get her to sleep or have her in bed with me until she goes to sleep but as soon as I put her back in her own bed she'll only be there for 5mins max and she SCREAMS
Last night I got so frustrated that when she woke AGAIN i threw the blankets and yelled. I felt horrible, I felt like I was failing as a mum because I couldn't settle my daughter. I know shes only little, I know she can't communicate unless its through crying, I know all this. I'm just at my wits end. Neither DH or I want to co sleep. I need 5mins to myself. I need to be able to put her down for 5mins without her screaming. I feed, change, burp and play - all the things I know I have to do. I just can't settle her!
I'm tired and frustrated and completely over it.
Last night I hung my shirt I had worn during the day over the side of the bassinet thinking maybe if she could smell me she might settle but nope didn't work. I'm going to see if anyone has a sling I can borrow and try. I don't have the money to spend on one to start with and it not work.


DD1 has gone from sleeping through to waking 2 -3 times a night. Please tell me this is just an age thing? I yelled at her last night too all because she wanted another bottle! The look on her face when I did that just broke my heart and made me feel so much worse.
We are already having issues with her not eating - I figure she'll eat when shes hungry.

ATM I just feel like i'm failing in so many ways. The only stimulation DD1 has had over the last week is 2 trips to the park and a daycare day. Every days she's with me we read and watch tv because DD2 is permanently attached to my boobs! I can't settle DD2, DD1 isn't getting any of my attention, I'm exhausted, DH is helping out where he can but I just feel like it's all falling down around me.

Does anyone have any other suggestions that we can try please???
