Has your baby always been like this or did she just recently start doing this? Mine started doing this at about 5 1/2 weeks, before that she would normally wake to eat and then I could get her back to sleep shortly after, no big deal. But once she started with this she’d be up for like 4-5 hours just scream crying, fussy and nothing would work to settle her. So I basically got 1 & 1/2 hours of sleep during those days. And then during the day she would sleep but I couldn’t put her down at all. I’m thinking it’s the growth spurt they have around 6-8 weeks just coming early. Last night was the first night she actually slept semi normal again so I’m hopeful we’re almost done with it. 😴
my baby started going through the same thing at the 5 week mark and the only thing i can link it to is developmental milestones. i found the app called wonder weeks helpful
I read that a baby at around 5 to 6 weeks old will get fussier because they are going through a growth spur. Hang in there!
It could be acid reflux if she’s doing all this after a feed.
could be colic or maybe a comfort thing or hunger.. walking around sometimes help my little one or some skin to skin contact
