With a child who will not sleep.

Darcy ahs been awake on and off since Friday with only hour long cat naps very occasionally. She is SO tired she starts to drift of then wakes herself screaming. I have tired everything but cannot make the screaming stop. She burps well, we change her all the time. She isn't hungry. I have tried all the settling techniques I can read about.

She will not settle by herself - EVER. She is only happy whilst you are carrying her and even then the screaming rarley stops.

I know some babies just cry, but gee it's hard work. I don't like to take her out or have visitors cos it only makes her worse. I'm really scared what will happen when DH goes back to work.

ATM she is 3 hours overdue for a feed but because she is asleep I am not prepared to wake her, however the night now terrifies me as she has some reserves to draw upon IYKWIM??
