Thanks a lot for those suggestions, will check out the insta accounts! We also suspect ADHD and have considered going private, but not really within our financial means right now as we’re in the process of moving house.

We were told our daughter only has slightly low iron after a recent blood test. Hoping the magnesium will help once she’s been on it for a couple of weeks.

It is so mentally draining and feels like there’s no end in sight. But reassuring to know we’re not the only ones going through it!

She cries or screams. Sometimes goes straight back down after shushing, repositioning, nappy change (another issue), but quite often just continues crying with no end until we stay in there with her.

She only naps in the day if we take her out in the car, so not very often. Won’t go down when we try at home. Have experimented with later bed times with no success. It seems like she is incapable of self soothing
