NB refuses to sleep

My almost 2 mths old nb now loves to cat naps and refuses to sleep properly. Keeps crying for no reason especially when put down on cot or my bed after I confirmed he is sleeping but not colic for sure. I also swaddle him bcos he will suddenly jolt up from sleep then cry bloody murder. At night, he'll wake up 1-2 hrs daily and I take turns with my husband. I feel sorry for him bcos he works in the morning. Even with the people at home helping me, I am so exhausted as my nb also latches/nurses (he's on mix feed). My shoulder is so painful from carrying him around. Both my thumbs are also in pain. Is it normal for babies to refuse sleep at this age? Any mummies had the same experience? What did you do when your nb behaves this way? #advicepls

I think maybe ur baby doesnt know how to self sooth, my daughter used to be super fussy at night. Cant sleep properly and keep cry, but day time she can sleep easily. From 2mths onwards i gv her pacifier and its really helps! And since 2.5mths old she can sleep thru the night (8hrs) until now. Just gv pacifier only during nap n sleep at night

Thats great! Happy for you. For pacifier u actually need to gv him try a few brands, my daughter only accept avent. She rejected NUK, MAM and dentistar. Anyway its better to not using pacifier tho :) take care mommy
