My 2 week old daughter Kalinda is very fussy and refuses to go to sleep at night, even for an hour. When we pick her up, etc. to try and calm her, she cannot seem to calm down except for when she nurses. Of course I can't nurse all of the time, but I do give her the breast to calm her. The thing is, she drifts off to sleep but when we transfer her to her nearby bassinet, she immediately wakes and screams bloody murder. We do not know what to do. We swaddle her and believe me have tried everything. she keeps us up all night trying to get her to go to sleep for just a little bit of time. Help! The dr. said to try a pacifier, but she wants nothing of it and spits it out. If we get her to sleep using one method one day, it is guaranteed that the next day it won't work. I know that she will eventually develop a pattern, but we're so exhausted, mentally and physically. My husband works and is trying his best to be a hands on team player, but he needs his rest.
