    There's a whole galaxy of supporters out here hoping/praying you had a better day - we hope you had a better night. these early weeks are tough. You know those TV sit-coms where they drive around the suburbs at night to get their baby to sleep? Well, yes, they have the same model as you (ie pretty normal baby) It's an endurance test. As others have said, you need to work as a team. One up/one down. He might take the late shift, and you get up early,(or vice versa) no point you both staying up. You've gotten a lot of great advice here. Do try to get our during the day - exposure to daylight helps her reset her clock, and a latte with your partner makes you feel more normal. It really, really won't be like this forever.

    One thing I forgot to mention about the osteo/chiro is that it can also help with reflux or colic issues.

    I hope this helps you out Babyluv. The more frequent feeding during the day is promising - I have my fingers crossed this means she'll have more sleep at night time.
    Please know that you bring your baby so much comfort when you hold her, even when she continues to cry. You really are making a difference to her
