R has taken 4 short naps today, well 3 really. The first I bounced her to sleep, waited 30 mins, and put her in the RnP, woke right up. Fell asleep in the car, once the car stopped, she woke up. Then she fell asleep in DH arms as leaving a friends house, got in the car seat asleep, but woke up as soon as the car stopped when we got home. I put her in the Ktan this evening cause usually that will put her to sleep. She was crying but couldn't keep her eyes open. So sort if napped for 20 mins but cried off and on through her crying.

She is so exhausted so she wouldn't stop crying all night. Now she is so mad she won't even nurse cause we swaddled her. DH is trying to calm her down so she will eat.

I am at my wits end. I don't know what to do. I am sitting here in tears cause I am so sick of fighting with her every single day to sleep. If I want her to get a good nap, I have to hold her the whole time. So then I get nothing done for the day.

At night once she falls asleep we have to hold her for 45 mins minimum before we can put her down. Then we hold our breathe that she stays asleep once we put her down.

I know part of my melt down tonight is cause I am exhausted. Think she is going through a growth spurt so she has been getting up numerous times a night this week. She has been 9 to anywhere between 330 and 530.

She starts day care on the 3rd, so I am hoping they will help. But I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. She has a stubborn personality. I can see her not napping all day and then I am having to deal with a cranky baby every night by myself. DH starts traveling again this week:( so I will be solo parenting Mon-Thurs

So does anyone have any idea on how to get a 11 week to sleep and stay asleep? I am fine with holding her till she falls asleep till old enough to fully sleep train, but how do we get her to stay asleep and put her down?
