Colicy baby HELP!

My 3 week old is going through a really rough patch. He seems MISERABLE.. he cries all the time and has gotten to the point of being inconsolable. I pump exclusively and feed him through anti-colic bottles, and he hasn’t been spitting up or anything. I just can’t figure out what is causing him to cry so intensely without anything able to console him. His voice is getting raspy from crying so much. 😞 Ive done all the tips and tricks I’ve seen online for colic but tonight nothing is working. 😭 Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there was something that helped your baby.

Thank you!!

Have you tried giving him gas relief drops? That’s a common reason babies cry at that age. And I also seen a lot of mothers say they had the same issue and a c chiropractor helped

Sorry mama , my baby is 3 weeks old also he does the same not bad as yours. Have you try gripe water each time before you feed him give it to him . n also you can take also . Tummy press n make sure you eat on time because whatever gases you have . You passing to him also. Make garlic tea with glover it relieved gas also.

I am in the same boat. I gave him gripé water and Windi today and he seem to be better. I also ordered probiotic for him, let’s see if it helps.

We’re in the same boat - some days he’s ok some days he’s not. We have used gas drops, the frida gas wind is, anti colic bottles, burping him every oz, keeping him upright for 20/30 mins after feeding… nothing works. just had our 4 week pediatrician appt. They were asking if he arches his back when he’s in pain.. that could mean he has gerd (acid reflux) otherwise they’re testing his poop for formula intolerance (currently on whey based)

We are in the same boat, it’s brutal. We have an almost 4 week old and he had a tongue tie which they thought was contributing to his fussiness. We got that fixed this past week but so far we don’t see a difference. He takes forever to nurse 30-40 min and still cries uncontrollably in between feeds and fights sleep. How do you get yours to go down (when they finally do fall asleep)? I know newborns are suppose to sleep a lot but mine just refuses to fall asleep.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
