11 weeks old … screaming reduced significantly

Mines 9 weeks and I feel like he constantly screams so I'm hoping he becomes like yours 🙈

My LB screams non stop since having his 8 week jabs a week ago. Doesn't seem to het better no matter what I do. I do hope he settles at week 11 as he is 9 weeks now

My LO was the same too from 11 weeks! Although we started her on colief drops about the same time too. She still has the odd crying episodes but not half as much phew! They say their digestive system begins to develop better from around this time x

@Leah I changed from mam bottles to Dr brown bottles. About a week ago, but he wouldn't latch to the teat so using the mam teat on the Dr brown bottle so getting a lot less bubbles in his milk and burping easier. But still having non stop screaming i have ordered colief today so will try that tomorrow. Just hate seeing him like this. And not being able to hel0 and I'm one tired mummy from no sleep haha

Yeah my little boy started being a bit more settled around 11/12 weeks

I swear by gripe water. I tried it in his bottles but didn’t see much improvement, now after a bottle I’ll let him try and settle but if after half an hour or so he’s still unsettled and has burped, I’ll give him around 2ml via a syringe slowly and with a bit of a cuddle he seems to settle. I don’t use anything other than that just as and when needed

@Natasha oo I will have to give that a go if these don't work. Always been a bit scared to try gripe water

I was the same at first but honestly it’s been a game changer for us. It’s got a strange smell because of the mint and the herbs but my little boy loves taking it so we don’t have any trouble getting it into him. But I see a difference quickly after. He suffers with reflux bad so has carobel in his milk to thicken it. Gripe water helps as an antacid but also helps with settling his tummy especially if he has trapped wind

thanks natasha, I will give it a go. Will take it slow and a little like you said and see. As I have a bottle here just sitting there waiting lol

I was reading somewhere recently that babies cry most in the first few months and hit their peak crying around the 12 week mark, so maybe your baby has reached their peak and is past the other side 😊 it does give me hope as my baby enters her 10th week that she will stop the fussy crying soon!
