I cannot get my 5 week old baby to sleep ANY at night!?She has been diagnosed with GERD and is on medicine for it. But it is not helping. I'm sleep deprived, and it shows physically, emotionally, and mentally.
It starts anywhere from 10pm to 12am, and she's up until nearly 5am. She has periods where she's fussy, or just wide awake. I NEED to figure something out. I've never had this much trouble getting my other kids to sleep. I try to nap during the day but it's hard with my other two kiddos.
This girl just doesn't sleep - but I need her to. I'm breaking down.

Try the Amby baby hammock. I hear good things about it.

i really wish i was there to help you. i know first hand how frustrating that can be. My second son was allergic to milk protein but we never knew until he was almost 2 years old. I remember nights when I just wanted him to stop sooo badly that it took every bit of sanity I had just to see past it. Sleep deprivation is a nasty thing and a serious one too. I don't have any advice other than to say get someone to spot you a nap. Hopefully in time she will grow out of it, but in the meantime you need to get some sleep and get someone to help you out. Don't feel weak asking for help either, moms always feel like they need to do it all or be perfect when we should all be willing to ask for help and admit that this infant thing can be really hard sometimes. You can do it and you can get through it. Hang in there honey.
