hi ladies ,
im new to writing on this forum been abit of thread stalker lol but really hoping you other mummys can help as im at breaking point .
ok so my baby girl is 5 n half weeks old and her sleeping and feeding habits are terrible from 6pm every night she refuses to be put down and screams when cuddled put in bath played with anything really she fuss's and screams at even her bottle ,she will normally knacker herslef out about 12pm and sleep for til 4am on a good night then from 4am its bottle and nappy change will go to sleep for another hour and then is up for the rest of the day .
she wont nap during the day only when i take her for a walk for about 2hrs and for the first hour with fuss in her pram .
we use a dummy and have tried music swaddling u name it i feel like ive tried it she has been like this since she was born .
with feeding she is also funny ..... sometimes drinking a 6oz bottle then only wanting 2oz every 4hrs .... sometimes i feel like she isnt eating enough so i take to be weighed every week and shes gaining weight perfectly but its such a worry when she hardly drinks some days .
ive been trying to follow a routine with her since day dot .... bath at 7pm bottle before play after bath so she gets tired but nothing helps .....
im so passed tired its unbeliveable ,hubby trys to help but he gets to escape to work for 9hrs a day and im with her 24/7 she is so clingy during the day i have to have her strapped to me at all times or be playing with her .
what am i doing wrong i feel like im the worst mother ever at the min and dont know how to help her .
sorry this has turned into a kind of rant just would really like a little advise or some similar storys as feel very on my own .
thanks ladies x
