We thought we were getting into a pattern of sleep last week, but the last 5 nights have been a nightmare.
During the day Holly pretty much sleeps 3-4 hours, feeds & then goes back to sleep. She wakes around 6pm (ish), feeds & then stays awake for ages, gets over stimulated, over tired & ends up screaming until 1-2am before she finally gives in.
Do you think she's sleeping too much during the day? Can I leave her to cry for any length of time yet (she's 3 weeks old?)
If you cuddle her, she settles, but the moment you put her down she wakes & starts screaming. She settles herself easily during the day (downstairs with tv or some background noise), but won't do it at night.
Me & hubby are worn out & when she screams like she does it breaks my heart.
Any advice or suggestions to settle her or change her sleep pattern would be really appreciated!!
