My baby is 4 months old and we’ve been bed sharing since 6 weeks. At first we were holding him to sleep bc if you put him down he screams. This worked for a while with a mixture of side lying and chest sleeping… but now he seems to only sleep if he’s latched. I can leave him latched for 15, 30, 45, 90 minutes and no matter how long he screams if I take him off. I can’t really sleep like that cuz the position I have to be in to keep him latched it awkward/he needs help when he unlatches to get back on.
I tried putting him on my chest and bouncing him there and he just cries and scratches me over and over.
I’m losing my mind, for the last 3 weeks I’ve been getting a couple hours of sleep and giving him everything I can and he won’t sleep. Tonight I’ve gotten out of bed 3 times to try and bounce him to sleep and he wakes up as soon as I get in bed again.
Idk what to do. I’ve been so incredibly sleep deprived, getting maybe 5 hours of sleep in 10-60 min increments for 4 months.
How do I survive
