For the past 1.5 weeks, Bonnie has been so cranky - it's driving me nuts. This growth spurt is only "supposed" to last a few days to a week, but I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Her sleeping has gone out the window, she's waking every 45 minutes - 1 hour throughout the night. She's forgotten how to self-settle. It's quick to resettle her, but it's driving me mental having to bounce the hammock for a few minutes throughout the night.

To compound matters, she's extra clingy and only wants me, so my partner can't really help at all. She's the most screamy she's ever been.

I was always told that at 12 weeks, babies turn a corner and things get much easier, but this just isn't happening for us - she's the most trying she's ever been. I'm worried that if she's this cranky and prolonged for this wonder week, what's she going to be like at the 4 month mark!

I'm feeling isolated because I'm stuck at home, reluctant to inflict a screaming baby on the outside world. She hates her pram, and I am desperate to go for a walk. The hug-a-bub is good, but I can't really go for long walks with her in it.

I'm feeling frazzled, and I don't think I'm coping well. Any words of encouragement are welcome, or any stories from anyone else who had problems at the 12 weeks mark would make me feel a bit better.
