My Ds is 10weeks today. For the first few weeks he was a good sleeper, feeding every 4 horus and sleeping the rest of the time. He was in a routine up to about a week ago where he would feed 3-4 hourly during the day having a short sleep in the morning in the pram if we were out and a longer sleep i nthe afternoon. He used to wake between 6 and 7am and I would feed then settle and he would sleep for about and hour. After the longer afternoon sleep sometimes he would go back to sleep after it but sometimes not, having playtime with dad and while we had dinner. He would then settle by 9pm and sleep until 2ish, where I would feed then it starts again. we do use a dummy, have from about 5 days old. Usually I would wrap him, put dummy in and place him down awake, replacing his dummy as needed and he would drift to sleep. This worked 99% of the time. we did have the odd bad day but never for as long
The last week that has totally gone out the window, I thought it was becuase he had his immunisations last monday and was out of sorts. Plus we think he has had a viral thing - sore throat, snuffly nose, slight cough. My DH and I have both had it.
DS just won't sleep. It is turning into a battle, when you lie him in the cot he cries. At 7 weeks he started crying occassionally and I elevated one end of the mattress, thinking reflux and it seemed to help. No more.

I have tried:
*feeding to sleep- sometimes works but then doesn't bring up wind (had issues there)
*cuddling him to sleep then lying down in cot- he wakes up, wherever you put him down
*letting cry inadvertantly happened, I had to shower as people were coming over, so I put him down had a 30 sec shower then settled him by patting etc. he slept but only for 40 mins. I tried it again and he slept only for 20 mins and I was in tears too. Doesn' stay asleep so not worth all the angst.
*Patting, music etc- sometimes works if I can get him to lie down without screaming
*Putting down for afternoon slepp in my bed with me. sometimes works but today only slept for 30mins then woke, able to resettle today for another 30 mins
*using HAB, doesn't really like,sleeps for very short periods (5 mins) but feels too restricted
*not wrapping

Issues are:
*won't be put down in cot or anywhere
*he seems miserable crying lots
*shorter sleeps at night too - waking after 3-4 hours
*feeding every 1.5-3hours

Is it a growth spurt, but isn't it too early?
I really don't know what to do, I feel so powerless. I have ordered Pinky McKays new book but will be a while. I have also got the library seeing if they can get her other book. I am in the country so can't just go and buy. Plus we don't have family suuport nearby and only a few friends/acquaintances as have only been here a few months.

Please help any suggestions will be welcome
