tips to make ds's sleep oatterns easier to manage

You're not useless! You're a brand new mum figuring stuff out, which is what we all are to begin with (and for a long time, quite frankly).

That's great he's sleeping well overnight. Do you have a sling or baby carrier? I would suggest you or your partner (or other helper) wear him as much as possible during the day to allow you hands-free time to do things. It often helps them sleep better, also. You can pop him in, jiggle around, carry on with your day and avoid the hour of pre-sleep struggle.

My honest advice is this: If doing things this way is not working, do something easier. Just cuddle or feed or rock to sleep, whatever works.

Alligators mum - im in the process of getting a referral to the public sleep school. Surprisingly their wait list is shorter than the nurture centre & my PHI doesnt cover it all anyway so I cant afford it

Sail away I am so sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time. Things will improve. Some babies are incredibly difficult regardless of what parenting style you use or what you try.

There is a good app that may be usedful called Rockabub by safe sleep space. Even try googling safe sleep space for more info on it.

You said you have seeked help. Can you see someone else?
