My 4w old baby has been awake since 11.30pm

Oh my god bless you!!! Have you tried taking them outside, maybe in a carrier? The cold air tends to shock my little boy and calms him right down. Sending lots of love ❤️❤️

I might try this. Thank you x

I’ve seen if you swaddle them in a muslin cloth or something and run water over them it can help them feel like they’re in the womb? Maybe look it up first for temperature etc? :)

Is this a new thing just tonight or has the screaming been happening

Having a warm bath might work does for my little one x

@Gabrielle he does get like this most nights, but nowhere near as bad as he was last night. That was something else. He finally went to sleep about 7am, and just woke up, so feeling a bit better now x

I think I'll try a bath later if he's the same, thank you x

I have been using the bouncy ball that I used during pregnancy with my little one, it works absolute wonders it calms her down no matter what is wrong with her! I think it reminds her of when she was in my womb and it soothes her.. I use it every night to get her to sleep and it also helps me break her wind.. hope you find something soon that works 🩷

Have you sought medical advice? Especially if being this unsettled for this long. My baby at 8 weeks was like this one night, just up crying for hours and hours, turns out he had viral meningitis.

Worth getting them checked out if it's happening often.

We went GP with ours at the start, unfortunately it was colic so just had to endure the screaming for 2 months until we could finally give them some pain relief 😮‍💨

Thank you so much for the advice everyone. Spoke to the HV today, they said it's likely reflux. I called the GP, but there's no space, so I have to call back tomorrow for an appointment x

A nice walk outside in pram, a ride in the car, the happy song by imogen heap- works on my baby every time. Dancing fruit videos YouTube. Breast comfort feed or just to feel, massage, a bath, a dance

my boy is really gassy and has a lot of trapped wind too, but they've said it's not a tongue tie. We have the GP tomorrow, so hopefully that will help x

I had the exact same!! Was from 11pm till 7am she was around 2 weeks old. I pit it down to her being a colic baby. We did get her milk changed she's firmly fed. She's always been a nightmare sleeping. She's now 4 months and deffo better to compared to what she was

@Kerry this is reassuring as my boy is bad at sleeping, but last night was particularly bad x

@Emily awful spelling mistakes in my last reply sorry!!
She roughly does every 4 hours now. Where as first 8 weeks she'd be awake crying and upset majority of night!!!

4 hours sounds like the dream. What milk does she have? Xx

do you think he could have colic. my daughter was like that. really badd. started at 10-11pm ish and sometimes she’d be up hourss then overtired. but was all caused by colic. it had such a knock on effect i feel like i should have been warned too🤣

@Shannon I'm not sure. He's not slept today either, been awake since about 2ish (its now 10.30) with the odd 10 minute nap here or there. He did sleep from 7-2 though pretty well.
I thought colic was the same time each day more or less x

@Emily docs think possible cow milk intolerance and she's on nutrimigen ... I think it's worked!! Maybe try docs and see if they suggest anything

Our baby had really bad colic when he was around 2 months old until around 6 months. He screamed himself purple, I was so exhausted (still am) we tried everything too and the only thing that worked was the pumpy dumps dance and song we created together which helped his tummy release wind and mine too come to think of it 🤣
