I’m getting so tired and frustrated I just need to vent! Happy Baby has not been sleeping for long stretches for almost two months now... before that she would go 4 to 6 hours between feedings, for the past two months it is barely two hours. I’ve always put her to sleep nursing her in our bed then moved her into her bed. There are a number of reasons she does not sleep in our bed, mainly because she moves around a lot and keeps me awake. Lately even just feeding her in bed is getting difficult as she gets bigger and so does my pregnant wife. Now, when I move her into her crib she wakes up and cries until I bring her back into the bed where she falls asleep... last night I was up until almost 3am trying to convince her to sleep in her crib. Then she woke up twice to be fed, then woke up at 7am ready to go for the day... I don’t know what to do anymore. I HATE cry it out but my wife thinks that is what we should do. I don’t even know how to explain to her why I just can’t handle it. But I’m getting so tired I’m going to give in. My wife does not even like the crib beside the bed, she wants me to move the crib to the end of the bed (we don’t have another room) but I don’t know if I can handle not having her beside me. Wifey is against sidecaring the crib too. I try really hard to listen to Wifey because she feels like I act like Happy Baby isn’t her baby as well. I don’t know what to do, I’m so tired, and frustrated, and out of ideas! Oh, and Happy Baby refuses food btw, hates it all, spits it back out at us and shudders, she will only take boobie. I feel very alone in trying to get her to sleep, it’s like it is totally my job because I don’t want to do CIO. :’(
