Struggling

Does anyone else feel like they’re failing as a mom?? We’ve been to the doctor so many times, my one month old won’t stop crying when he’s awake and doctor says nothing is wrong. He’s fed he’s changed he’s burped he’s all the things and cries so so much. My mom heart hurts that I can’t soothe him:(

When everything seems checked off and baby keeps crying I’ve learned he usually really needs to poop or fart and is struggling. (Obviously may not be your case) but I was told to try relaxing him with a bath to help him pass everything.

You gotta keep in mind momma he is still adjusting to this new world. He was all cuddled up in you for 9 months and now he’s learning this whole new world. My little one is the same but I just tell myself he is learning just like me. I’ve recently found out my little guy loves vibrations. My bouncer vibrates and so does his swing. When I start our bedtime routine, I start off with feeding him between 2 to 4 oz he usually will be drowsy and then I lay him in either his bouncer or swing with the vibration going and let him lay there for 30 ish minutes before transferring him to his bassinet. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I just go with the flow. Baths help also! Have you consider gripe water? Maybe he’s gassy.

You got this momma!

I will also say that I feel like formula at night works better on him. I breastfeed during the day but formula feed at night.

My baby is almost 8 weeks old and for the first month of her life she was the same way. She still gets that way here and there but we have figured out she is extremely gassy. Things are getting better with time thank God. Each day she seems to be content for a little longer than the day before. Web use gripe water occasionally and gas drops in every bottle. Also probiotics every night before bed since she was born. It’s very tough hang in there and remind yourself you’re doing great

My one month old does the same thing and will not stop for it seems like hours. They say babies cry but I feel like it way too much. Sometimes she wants to be left alone and it works sometimes l. But I definitely feel you

They can get very colicky. Gripe Water helps.

I have seen people in this same situation and they have taken them to the Chiropractor and as soon as they were done they baby stopped crying.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
