Help, we’ve hit the 6 week screamfest!
Sunday night, baby had the best night ever, only waking once for milk and giving me a lot of false hope.
He turned 6 weeks on Monday and last night was awful. Every time he woke for milk, the battle to get him back to sleep felt like a marathon.
Despite the rough night, we’ve had no reprieve today. Wide awake yet exhausted and we still can’t get him to sleep beyond 20 minutes.
We’ve rocked, sung, worn him in a wrap, moved rooms, been outside, sat in silence, even gave crying with him a go.
I’ve heard 6 weeks is the peak time for fussiness.
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you survive?

Update! After the battle of a lifetime, he slept a 3 hour stint and woke up throwing smiles around so we couldn’t stay mad. Pic of the little terror attached 😂💙👶
