Okay, so this may be a little lengthy but I have nowhere else to vent. My daughter was 2 months premature and is 5 months old now (3 months adjusted.) For about the last week, she has become inconsolable at night. I have tried a routine starting at about 7pm of play, bath, rub down with lotion and then nurse her to sleep. She will either A, fall alseep in my arms and wake up as soon as I put her down, or B, stay awake and fight sleep and become overly tired. Both of these cases usually end with her crying the rest of the night and my hubby and I taking turns trying to see who can actually get her to sleep. This chaos usually ends at about 12-1am. Then, without fail she is up again at 4:30am. I have literally had no more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep in the last 8 days. I am a stay at home mom of 3, so I deal with this all day, and when the hubby comes home he's not always very helpful. I have tried gripe water, a small amount of Tylenol thinking maybe she's teething, but have not tried any type of foods yet (rice cereal or anything like that) because I am scared to do anything without her doctors permission, considering she is a preemie. My husband has now begun to bring up just getting some formula to feed her at night and it just makes me feel like such a failure. No offense to moms who formula feed, but she is my last baby and the first one I have actually stuck out EBFing with and I prided myself on that. I am trying so hard to stick things out, but it just feels like I am constantly stuck with a baby glued to my chest, and even that's not efficient enough. She will literally nurse for an hour straight, and fall asleep and the second I move her she is up rooting around again and gnawing on her hands. It doesn't help either that once my husband finally does hold her, he is quick to pass her back claiming "she's hungry" because she's doing that. I am just so beat, and feel so defeated and at wits end. I am so sleep deprived and I have a 9 and 6 year old that I still have to split my time with. I guess I'm just looking for some advice or words of encouragement right now. Any mommies have any success stories?? 😢😢😢
