Hi EJE- Its an aweful situation.. new baby and no sleep... Have you tried using your pram... I used my parm with my son when he wouldnt sleep in the bassinette... The rocking in the pram really helped.. Even going for a walk by the time i would get home he was asleep and i got to rest up... Once he's asleep in the pram i would just leave him in there.. My son was also used to being carried... Its one thing you have to stop... The warmth and the beating of your heart is like a reminder of the comfort he had in your tummy... Try wrapping him in a light sheet or muslim for comfort.. i also tryed a small clock under the mattress... kindof like the same beating of your heart.... Good luck

I know all too well how horrible it is with a newborn who decides not to sleep, it is really tough, I felt like I was losing the plot. Have you tried a swing? We got a fisher price one and the first time I put DS in it he slept for 3 hours!, I was so happy I cried. From memory it cost about $170 and it is the best $170 I have ever spent. Now at nearly 4 months he still goes in it for his morning sleep while I have a cuppa.
