Everyone keeps telling me I am doing great and things will get better, and at this point I am calling b.s.
I am so tired. My husband is tired (and he is home right now 24hrs a day with LO). LO just turned 3 months last week and for many weeks now she won't nap barely at all during the day. She even falls asleep but wakes crying etc, sometimes she wakes just wailing. We have honestly tried everything we can think of.
At night she seems overly tired and she will SCREAM, just SCREAM. We feed her, rock her, put her in the swing, etc etc etc It takes at least an hour, usually two to get her to sleep. She then wakes her self many times before actually staying asleep. Then she sleeps usually a couple hours and wakes up crying. She will usually take a bottle at this time. I will be honest, I don't know if DH is feeding her a lot during the day or not. He says she won't eat. I usually have no issue feeding her when she's calmed down. Sometimes it takes a small nap before she'll eat.
It's almost unbearable.
I realize it might be a growth spurt, but do those last two weeks? She's been doing the screaming for almost two weeks now.
She has reflux, but it's getting better. If we try to feed her more at night she just spits it up or pukes it all up. It's bad.
I don't know if I am looking for advice or just want to be told to hang in there. But, sleep and screaming have noT improved. She gets milk and formula both via bottle because of her tongue tie we can't afford to fix and my milk supply went down at about 3 weeks because she couldn't eat well from me.
We are hurting bad in every way minus a family death. I mean, we are in bad bad bad shape. I've applied for assistance twice, first time declined because it was the week after her birth and I didn't get the paperwork in in time even though I called and begged for an extension. Now no one will respond our second application.
