Could it be that she has been awake for too long and now she’s tired and fussy because of it? My almost 7 week old gets like that if he wants to sleep. Awake windows for our babies at this age should be between 70-90 minutes, of course baby can sleep sooner if they want to..

No she is sleeping in the morning time before feed she slept like 3 hrs and when I start feeding she drank few milk and started crying

Could it be gas or poop? Did you wake her up to feed or did she wake up on her own?

Could be gassy or want to comfort feed if still acting hungry

she went poop today she wake up on her own what would be the solution she is still crying

Have you considered colics? Is it at the same time every day? Have you felt her belly? Is it hard or normal? Have you talked you her pediatrician about that?
We gave our baby a bath when he was too fussy the other day and that helped.

What is she doing g with her body? Stretching? Her hands?legs?

Witching hour? My girl is having a really bad night. I just finally got her down for a nap, after 1.5 of doing my best to feed her between fussing and another half hour of trying to get her to sleep.

yes she is stretching her body

If baby is fed and changed, it could be trapped gas or colic. My son is going through the exact same thing. I am thinking it's slight colic because it's literally the same time every night and I know for sure it's not hunger, dirty diaper discomfort, or poop.

yeah I think so because everyone she cries I feed her she refuses and checks her diaper too what I can do she cried atleast 2 hrs on and off.

I wish I knew 😔 Sometimes colic is one of those things that you just have to wait out. I've heard some people say gas drops helped them but I haven't tried them myself. I just hold baby and pat his back or butt until he eventually calms down and goes to sleep.

Try switching her to the opposite breast once she gets fussy. My baby gets fussy sometimes at the evening because we tend to produce less milk through out the day. So I have to switch him a couple times for him to finish his feed. Burp her between before latching her to the other breast

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
