Won't sleep

[Beatrix]

I know it's been done millions of times before but I need to vent or I'm going to lose my sh#%^t.

14 weeks old and I think in that time she had slept about 10 maybe 15hrs in her cot/bassinet/swing. Other then that its on me or next to me in my arms in bed.

I'm tired and cranky. I currently have her cot with one side off next to my bed trying to move her into that but still be close and she won't have a bar of it. Fusses and wakes within minutes. She could be in the deepest sleep and it still won't matter.
If I am lucky we may get one sleep cycle from her (45-60min)

Not to mention she is now also doing breast refusal. So close the bottle feeding and sending her to her grandparents for a night.

Sick and jealous reading/hearing about other babies younger then her sleeping through in their own rooms/beds.

She is by far my worst sleeper and DH is useless in the middle of the night sleeps through everything then wakes up complaining he only had a small amount of bed to sleep on. You know what I would take sleep on a small amount if bed rather then no sleep!!

sleep deprivation is so horrible and breast refusal as well, you poor mumma. You are doing an amazing job. Keep pushing through, this too shall pass.

And Im sending an e-headslap to your DH. I get the same stupid complaints and feel like screaming "at least you got some effin sleep!!"

Here listening and nodding. 14 weeks was baaaad with dd.

If it was me, I would get DH to sleep on a single bed next to the queen/double and put baby in bed with you. Sure some babies sleep in their own beds, through the night etc, like some kids eat all their vegetables, never have meltdowns and always say please.

Go with it as much as you can. Fighting a baby over sleep is so, so, so draining.

I complain to my DP all the time about people's magical sleeping all night babies... He always tells me not to worry because they are all lying! Lol! Good luck, hopefully you'll get some longer blocks of sleep soon x
