4 week old screaming

My little girl is 4 weeks old and the last week she’s had horrendous crying bouts. She screams so much, and goes bright red. She has tears in her eyes and it’s so hard to listen to it makes me cry. It’s almost like she’s in pain. It’s so high pitched and constant. Nothing will soothe her. I took her to A&E last night but she fell asleep so they didn’t hear her and said they think she’s being over fed and will be full of wind. Anyone else’s baby like this?

Possible colic? X

My son does this when he is gassy or has to poop. You can see the pain in his face and he stiffens his legs and body up . We put him on his belly and pat his butt, or rub his tummy. A few minutes later he acts starving so when I breast feed him it’s like he relaxes his stomach and he either poops a ton or farts a ton.
My dr just said it’s okay to give him gas drops before every feeding so I am going to see if that helps him at all

Try baby wearing in the day so you aren't trapped on the sofa. I wish I had done this.

Other things to try..
Dummy
Infacol
Dentinox colic drops
Bicycle legs
Tummy rubs
Warm baths.
Change of bottle.. slower or faster teat?

Is she pooping OK? Does she sound like she's "knocking"/ full of wind?

My midwife suggested you can't really overfeed a baby... if they've gone OTT they'll tend to just puke.. so confused by A&E's advice.

I like the Wonder Weeks to give a heads up of fussy phases. They call them developmental leaps and explain what's going on in their little brains to make them get a bit fussy. I find it reassuring that this too shall pass.

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
