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?

Har that's rubbish, there's no link one lol. I think you just need more time/experience before you can learn what makes the baby tick... although some babies really are just difficult zzz. Mine can wail nonstop for 1h while we are putting him to sleep but my mum can get him dead asleep within 10mins (if we had not already riled him up with our incompetence). The environment may play a part too - is it too noisy or too quiet? One trick that works sometimes is to walk in and out of light so the baby blinks himself to sleep, I hope this helps. Hang in there!
