So... I've sorta.. given up any hope now.. :/
Leia's eyelids are so red and she has dark purple cicles around her eyes.
Took her on her walk, and she only slept a little of the way, and woke up as soon as we got home (what she always does). And my walk wasn't very long today because I am just so dead: physically, mentally, and emotionally.
It isn't only her sleeping, she is being difficult with eating now, too. She either keeps her body completely stiff or she moves her limbs rapidly, where it is impossible for her to latch on, and then she just screams even louder.
And she cries all the time, probably from being so tired. She cries all the time, even when she is held, and usually only stops if she is sucking on a finger (and that doesn't always help), and she starts crying as soon as I take it out.. :/
So, I don't get to sleep..
And if I want to shower, eat, or go to the bathroom, I have to lay her down and listen to her cry the entire time.
I think most of my frustration is with the BVC nurse, who just shrugs away the problem every time we have questioned her with it (at least a couple times a week for the last 3 weeks). She gives no suggestions, and it angers me that she hasn't sent us to a doctor, just to make sure there is nothing wrong with Leia medically, to cause her to not be able to sleep.
I think we might be going this evening to get a swing, but we both have our doubts that it will help. Maybe the first time, but we don't think it will be anywhere near a solution to her sleeping problems. An expensive experiment, but we have to try it.
Hearing her cry breaks my heart, especially that I can't do anything to help her.. :(

don't worry its not just your BVC that sucks...mine is pretty low end with advice as well. she seems to tell me answers to questions i have like something she's memorized from a book or tells me something i already know. very un-confident. sooo yeah, its frustrating..just glad so far vanya hasn't had any major issues...there's the feeding one but we ourselves figured out our own method since they weren't that interested in figuring out why vanya hates the bottle.
