Unsettled baby

This is very common and could peak at around 6 weeks. Our baby is 4 weeks and at around two weeks he suddenly seemed more unsettled and we did everything you did. Mentioned it to the midwife who said it was perfectly normal. I thought it was colic as well but he wasn't crying for hours at a time. We are being quite proactive though in helping him wind and I found the ILU method on YouTube helpful. There are some other ones I've found helpful as well. We still have days like this but it's not constant. All babies are different but I find it also helps to give our baby loads of cuddles and contact naps xx

Have you tried holding him on his tummy on your arm and wriggling his bum? My first little boy was like this and it was trapped wind so when we gave his belly a bit of space it seemed to help loads! I’m sure there’s videos online of midwives showing you how to do it :) my little girl is only 2 weeks old and hasn’t started this yet…hoping it stays this way! Xx

Great advice. Literally watched a video about this earlier today on my breastfeeding course how to burp a baby and this was one of the positions to ease trapped wind 🥰🥰

My baby girl was born on 14th and is doing exactly the same!

There's a few posts about cluster feeding at this age. It doesn't help change the neediness but might explain it. I'm seeing my midwife today so definitely going to ask!

let me know what she says! I’ll also be mentioning to my midwife but glad others are experiencing this so seems completely normal xx

My baby is doing the same all week last week she’s 1 month old tomo just hoping this wears off 😅 xx

My boy was born on the 15th and we just started experiencing this too. It was yesterday evening for hours and now today he’s not slept since 11.30am. Just hanging off the boob and screams of he isn’t 😅

I found around day 14 baby was super unsettled and cluster fed and didn't sleep unless on me. HV said that's the first growth spurt so might be why for yours too. Lots of steps around my house across these days xx

Heyy my baby is 2 weeks and I was actually pre warned by a midwife when I left hospital that around 2 weeks there’s a growth spurt and they become unsettled or cluster feed for a couple days, she told me I might feel like I’m doing something wrong or not producing enough milk but that it’ll be fine!
And that’s exactly what I’m experiencing! I’ve been up every single hour last night with her🥲
If you’re ever too worried you can always speak to a clinician but it sounds normal to me!

@Sam growth spurt like everyone's saying. Said they should put back on at least the weight they lose from birth within 4 weeks, so it's probably part of that.
Perfectly normal to happen just a long slog for us...

Thank you so much everyone x
