1 month old waking every hour

They do say at about a month they have trouble pooping because they have to learn to poop on their own since before it was like an automatic thing. It sounds like it could be gas to be honest. Also at about month they start eating more often especially if you breastfeed to help your milk supply increase because at this stage their stomache can hold more milk so they do eat more often. How is the baby’s weight & your milk supply? If your milk supply isn’t enough anymore you may need to supplement with formula. I highly recommend going the pediatrician to make sure everything is okay otherwise. Sorry to hear about your lack of sleep, I do hope it gets better !!

I recommend watching the 1 month old videos from this tik tok page: https://www.tiktok.com/@helpmommy.com?_t=8gIwRVgk8re&_r=1

Also try watching this video it has helped me figured out what my baby is communicating with me through certain sounds she makes… it can be hard to differentiate some of the sounds but I hope it helps you to figure what he crying about at night : https://youtu.be/afMNp6Q4u7s?si=-m7CKQrcQCPK-rJo

Have you tried gripe water yet

Also this video really helped me

It’s probably gas. They lost their reflex to pass gas and poop so they have to learn how to use their muscles to do it but can’t control just one set of muscles at a time yet so they will tense up their whole bodies. My little man is finally getting the hang of it! It gets better!

my supply is good, I pump on the side and still am able to have a stash. Baby was born 5 lbs at 36 weeks and dropped to 4 after birth, and is now at 6 lbs at a month old today. pediatrician just told me to keep my diet changes and see… I asked about gripe water and got told it won’t do anything more than what the gas drops are doing and not to use it.
I’ve even used a windi tube once and it didn’t even seem to help. He’s CONSTANTLY grunting and squirming and fussing. Like I’m typing this right now and all dang night I’ve been up every hour or less because he’s been screaming. I’ve asked about colic and I even took a video and showed it to them and they said to just change my diet. I do bicycles with him and I get him moving around to try to help with it and sometimes it does work but I even try warm baths with or without soap or breast milk, and just pour warm water over his tummy and he screams the whole time.

I legit feel like I’m failing at everything and it makes me so sad. Idk how to help him and I also don’t know how to help myself and get sleep to not be so tired and not get frustrated. I’m so frustrated that I can’t help him. I try to soothe him in many ways but it seems nothing works. He might have colic but that would suck being a single mom and having to work and get no sleep😭 ugh

The windi was hit or miss with us too. Sometimes it did nothing but another time we had a mess on the changing table. We had made a week of that here too of just constant noises. I found that he relaxed enough while nursing to pass enough gas to get some sleep. It’s a hard phase for sure because most of the time there’s not much we can do to help. But trust me he’s tired too and once he gets a little more comfortable he will sleep! The other night my little man only woke up twice to eat and then slept a lot during the day the next day after a few nights of being up constantly so you will have a chance to rest!

I’ve been able to figure out what each means like the neh sound he does so much which is hunger right and then I know there’s another one he does when I’m changing him cause the wipe is cold so he’s chilled, but stops when I dress him. But he’s also finding his voice I guess because when he was fresh out the womb he had a little pterodactyl cry and it was so soft and squeaky and now he full on screams at me and it makes me want to cry every time he cries. I just don’t know how to help. I make sure he’s got a clean diaper everytime he wakes up every hour (I go thru soo many diapers because they truly are wet or dirty) and I make sure he’s not too cold or hot and I make sure he’s not hungry, during the day I let him contact nap because I love that too, but during the night I def won’t because I am so scared something will happen. Ive tried talking to pediatrician about things but I guess they see so much babies that they don’t seem to care much like not a big deal…

And I’ve tried 3 different doctors…

Gripe water is helping mine with bad gas, it's not magic, but it is better!

Do you have any family members that could spend the night one night (mom, sister, Grandma?) and care for the baby to allow you to catch up a little? Or even just a couple hours during the day so you could nap
