    First make sure she doesn't have any sort of medical issue. After that, and it usually is that she's not getting enough sleep. Babies that age should not be awake for more than two hours at a time before she should be back to sleep. She's probably overtired and overstimulated and cant get to sleep.

    I'm so sorry. DS was awful. I wanted so much to enjoy him but I look back on his infancy with nothing but bad memories. He screamed too. No reason. No reflux. No allergies. Nothing. Just not a happy baby. I just prayed tgat he would grow up and he did.

    I would start with a routine. Something regular. I think you have to do that at this point. Eat, play, sleep. Repeat.

    Just rest when you can and eventually she will grow up and grow out of this but trying to find a routine for her should help.

    Ds3 had GERD. It was horrible! I was breast feeding all the time until they diagnosed him with it and gave him a prescription, He would spit up everything, never slept without me, cried all the time, losing weight... Horrible. He's 20 months now and has been on a routine sleeping in his bed and through the night since 11-12 months old. Some babies are just difficult and you have to sleep when u can. Ask for help when u can and google sleep problems and such... I spent weeks doing research. You will eventually find something that works for the both of u. But definitely have the baby checked for any health related issues.

    Thank you all for kind words an good advises!

    Though I'm pretty sure she doesn't have medical issues or acid reflux, I'll have her checked

    You are absolutely right about sleeping routine, and I'm pretty strict with that with my 2 older girls. They had rather rigid daily schedule ( which worked amazing) but they were much older, year or so and I can't remember how on earth I managed when they were babies I remember DD1 was difficult, screaming baby and DD2 was, so to speak ideal baby.

    I've already started to establish some routine, she is sleeping now ( though I'm dreading she'll be awake any second now ) and I'll try to make 3 naps throughout the day, around 10am, 1pm and 4-5pm ( I did some reading, I'm not that clever ) I'm not hoping for a major success, just not to feel like I'll pass out every second.

    It's comforting to hear I'm not the only one and some of you guys had the same type of problem

    ZB, just recently, Lillian went from really chilled out and sleeping all the time, to miss fussy. She got so mad last week she scratched her face! We had to clip her nails. Last night, she slept most of the evening when I was home, and I was relieved that I didn't have to hear her screaming for no reason, then just as I was going to bed, she started fussing and fussed non stop for like an hour before she fell asleep again, and DH was with her, trying to burp her really well, hold her, bounce her, cuddle her close. Anyway, DH ran out to get her gripe water and that seemed to help some....I'm also thinking we shoudl have some gas drops on hand, just in case too.

    I am just so puzzled that she's 12 weeks old and all of sudden, she's gotten so hard. I should prob. take her to the doctor to get checked out.

    Oh and NONE of my 5 has ever settled into any kind of schedule until they were like 6 months old. As soon as I thought we had a good thing going with naps and going to bed at a certain time, they'd change it up. DD will have days where she sleeps all day long (and still well at night) and then days where she hardly sleeps at all and then is hard to put down at night too. It's like she rolls into the kitchen and has some coffee or something. Yesterday was one of those days o.O She also does the same thing with the naps, sometimes she literally sleeps for 2 minutes and then other times she'll nap for 3 hours, wake up to eat, and go right back to sleep again.

    She used to be happy to sit on my lap while I was on the computer but now she won't do it much any more, she wants me to carry her around and she seems to get bored very easily, so she likes me to walk into other rooms, I can't even stay in the living room/kitchen area!! Her favorite room is the bathroom so it feels like I'm in there all day long so she can see herself in the mirror!!!

    I honestly have never had much luck with babies and routines. They seem to do what they want to do and the more I try for a routine, I just get frustrated and disappointed. I hope your little one calms down soon.

    atomic, I'm sorry you are experiencing this too, but glad I'm not alone, lol.

    I don't know what is up with Lillian, but yeah, you have to prop her up a certain way so she can see everything and if not, she really gets pissy and lets everyone know! I hope it gets better...the boys were a breeze, even DS2's milk allergy was an issue but once we got him switched to hypoallergic formula he was better...maybe this is God telling me that I should be done having children if each child keeps getting harder and harder, lol.

    I don't think so!

    My DD1 was little torturer, DD2 was so easy to handle-I was very proud how experienced I am and therefore my baby is quiet, smiling, sleeping on her own etc. Gee, was I in delusion or what?

    This little piece of work, DD3, is getting worse. The day before yesterday she fell asleep at 3:30 am, last night ( or better said morning) she was asleep at around 3 am. I am trying so hard to establish routine for her, but nothing so far

    So I was thinking, maybe my odd kids are difficult (DD1 and DD3) and even are nice (DD2 and DS)
    Maybe your next baby will be the easiest baby ever

    Oh, btw, I've scheduled at pediatrician to have her checked for Dec 18
