Baby won't sleep unless physically close to someone - PLEASE HELP
Ok mommy's I am a first time mom to my rainbow baby boy. He is going to be 5 months old next week and still can't sleep unless physically on someone. We've tried co- sleepers, swaddling, mama roo, swings, things that vibrate, blocks under the crib, nuks, sound machines.
Since birth we've been told he's colic and sensitive (about 70% of days were crying or fussing) for the first 3 months. They put him on zantac and it hasn't seemed to help much. Once he starts fussing if you don't tend to him right away the crying goes into a ballistic hysterical cry within seconds that only can be calmed with nursing. He is starting a home daycare next week and today we did a trial drop off for just an hour and this woman with 20 years experience looked puzzled and defeated when I showed up. He had been hysterical for her for the last 40 min and she said she tried everything and he wasn't having it. Now I'm just a mess with a pit in my stomach, emotional all day. I can just feel that she probably regrets taking him. ANY advice or Someone who can relate???? I don't have any social media(I like hard to believe nowadays) so this is my only hope.
