I have to ask if anyone else has a bad sleeper? I’m so utterly and completely miserable. I feel so guilty that not only am I hating life at the moment but that it’s probably my fault.

I’m so so sick of no sleep. I get about 2 hours at night then he suddenly won’t sleep anywhere but me so I just sit there awake all night. Then in the day he is crap at napping, unless we are on a walk which doesn’t even give me the chance to catch up.

He seems knackered in between his naps too because they don’t last long at all like 20 mins max so he’s just miserable rubbing his eyes whining etc.

I know he’s just a baby I’m not mad at him to be clear (he’s 9 weeks). I feel like I’ve done a shit job and he doesn’t sleep because of me. Especially with the issue of him only sleeping on me. I’m just so tired and don’t have the energy to listen to him cry and put him in the cot every 10 minutes.

And I’ve done it all- white noise, dark, swaddle, sleep sack, dummy (doesn’t want it) routine before bed etc etc.

Am I alone in this? Are some babies just harder? When will it get easier?
