This has been happening since he was born - struggling with day sleeps. He's my first baby & when he was new I had no idea how to know when he was meant to go to sleep, still cant see any cues etc. So for a few weeks when he was really young he barely slept at all during the day cause I just couldnt get him down. So he literally screamed all day & I spent all day calling dh in tears because he wouldnt sleep & wouldnt settle. I wondered why id even had him & often still do. I asked for help but no-one was helpful so I just had to muddle through alone. Im exhausted after 16 weeks & struggling to manage it anymore.

he doesnt have reflux & I make sure to burp him well. I only offer the top up feed if he wants it (ie he is very fussy & sometimes he just wont feed anymore so we'll play for a bit then he decides he's hungry again) - so its more of a split feed really.

I do put him in his cot & duck down out of sight but he just starts screaming & keeps screaming so I have to pick him up etc. The room is dark (blackout blinds) & I use white noise.

the professional was not into CC or CIO, it was all gentle methods. Unfortunately they dont seem to work

Ca Plane Pour Moi if I give up on day sleeps then he doesnt sleep at all during the day, so he'd probably only get 7-8 hours in a 24 hour period. Ive tried that before & he screamed all day & it took dh 4 hours to get him down for the night. So that wont really work.
