Overtired baby refuses to sleep

During pregnancy, I had trouble sleeping at night and would play some games on my phone to tire myself out before I could finally fall asleep. My insomnia became worse towards the end of second trimester and lasted through the rest of my pregnancy. Now that the baby is out, baby would keep crying and refuses to sleep although there are instances where baby fell asleep for a few seconds before baby starts crying again. Husband is now blaming my ‘sleeping habit’ during pregnancy because it now falls onto the baby who refuses to sleep at night. Am I at fault for this?

Of course is nt ur fault lah… I had insomnia even before pregnancy and sometimes during pregnancy but didn’t affect my babies. Few reasons why your baby not sleeping well: wants to be hugged to sleep, colic, hungry, too hot or too cold or just simply they need time to adjust to the outside world. When is day time, let natural sunlight in and expose to light and noise. When is evening and night time, dim the lights and switch on some white noise or lullaby.
