I love this one, with its terrific desperate expressions. Obviously based on real life! Have you tried putting the baby in his/her crib, then gently stroking the head and face with your fingertips in a rhythmic way? This will gently induce a light trance, and the baby will fall asleep. Then you can sneak out of the room, and pray to God it works! It worked with my two kids. By the way, what’s the baby’s name?
I used to walk around singing mine to sleep at the top of my lungs, then eventually bringing the volume down to a mutter and sneaking them into the crib. Worth a shot?
As a father of three children, now adults, I give you the following; *ahem*…AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…(INHALE)…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahahhhaaaaa!!!! … that is all, goodnight.
Postpartum psychosis! I was so freaked out when my nursing baby lifted her head, looked straight into my eyes and cackled like Satan. It wasn’t until years later I realized it didn’t really happen, it was a lite bout of PPD. Fun! We had a cryer (3 mos straight), and sometimes LOUD white noise worked. Until the sleep happens, wishing you calm, patience and lots of chocolate.
Dude you don’t know about white noise? Apparently it’s as close to what a baby hears in it’s mom’s tummy. Washing machine, dryer, vacuum cleaner, tv with no signal… There’s an English gentleman who has made a bloody fortune by writing an iphone app that generates white noise because he had twin baby girls and wasn’t getting ANY sleep! White noise, or dip your fingers in hard liquor and give fingers to baby! lol
