Baby fighting day sleeps? Help?
My daughter is 12 weeks old, she sleeps fantastic of a nighttime. I put her down awake in her bassinet and she'll drift off to sleep and sleep for 4-6 hours, wake for a feed then go back down.
Day time is a completely different story. She refuses to sleep anywhere except for my arms and will only sleep for 20-30 minutes. She fights going to sleep and will immediately start crying when she wakes up, I'll feed, burp and change her but she'll still be cranky and will cry and scream if I put her down so we're not doing much tummy time anymore. It gets to the point where she is screaming and screaming until she finally falls asleep exhausted. There's been a couple of times where I've had to put her in the bassinet and walk away because nothing settles her and it gets frustrating. She refuses the boob, spits out her dummy, I've tried swaddling and not swaddling, constantly rocking her, putting her down next to me on the bed, laying her on the lounge, seeing if she needs to burp more.
I'm honestly struggling, I wouldn't mind her not napping often but she is so miserable and cranky and it's clear she needs to sleep more but nothing is working, I feel like I can't take her anywhere because I'll be judged because she's so upset all day 😢
