She is 4 weeks old, for the last week has been crying most of the time she is awake but sleeps a lot of the day and good sleeper at night. Crying when feeding is awful and very hard as she is so unsettled x

My little one is doing that when he is constipated or has trapped wind . He will suddenly cry ,get all red and fighting the bottle but wanting to feed at the same time 😅also bringing the legs up and makes grunting sounds,so what I do is I give him a tummy massage before next feed and when he starts feeding because of the warm milk he will get relaxed and realise everything xx

This sounds typical of colic especially if they cry at similar times every day usually tea time!! And crying whilst being fed would suggest it too , you can get different bottles / formula to help but 40% of babies get it and you just have to ride it out , it eases from 8 weeks Iv heard. Also when making bottles don’t shake them to mix them as this just fills it with air bubbles stir it using a sterilised spoon xx

My baby does this when he has trapped wind. Trying winding them more often during the feed. Also we came off Kendamil as it was too creamy and thick, gave my little one a terrible stomach and wind problems. X

I think the heat isn’t helping as my baby is more wingey more than usual. Also could be wind. Mine has aptamil and is nearly 6 weeks old x

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
