For context, this is my second baby and my first was a sensitive sleeper. My baby sleeps great at night with me cosleeping but during the day he wails before naps/ falling asleep. As if being sleepy literally pains him. This is with me holding him, rocking him, nursing him, baby wearing and walking around, etc. I’m trying all the things I can possibly think of to support him and soothe him. And it just seems to be getting worse. I am setting alarms for his wake windows and starting to try to soothe him to sleep beforehand so he doesn’t get overtired. Hearing and seeing him cry so hard is TERRIBLE for me and even my toddler gets really upset about it- especially because I’m trying everything I know to help him nap.

Many days (not always), if he does fall asleep, he wakes 10-20 minutes later. Then gets behind and overtired. This happens in the baby carrier.

Any advice/ baby soothing tricks/ similar experiences? I know he’s so little now and this will pass but anything to help him nap without so much tears because this amount of crying doesn’t feel sustainable 😭😭

Prurigo of pregnancy is a benign rash w/ tiny itchy bumps on the skin, typically appearing during the second or third trimester.

I started getting this in third trimester, only on my chest. It starts small and progressively worsens over a few days, then dries up and gets better. I’ve tried colloidal oatmeal baths but nothing makes it go away except time. I have it postpartum now and it’s all over my body- so severely itchy!

It is apparently pretty rare so I wanted to ask if any of you have dealt with this and what helped you ?
