Crying
My little girl is 10 weeks old and for the past 3 days she starts crying at one point in the afternoon and there’s very little we can do to stop this. It usually lasts a good 30 mins before it stops. Has anyone else experienced this at this stage and if so how long did it last? She never really cried before this so it’s really upsetting seeing her like this. I breastfeed but even that doesn’t help to calm her down 😔

It might be teething? Or she’s getting sick? Check for a fever by taking her temp. Monitor what you’re eating if she’s breastfeeding maybe upset stomach. Try to see what you’re doing differently
Look up witching hour it usually starts around this age my son was the same only thing that would settle him was putting him in a sling on me it used to be 6pm until 9pm every day but was ok all the other times he stopped doing it after about 2 weeks it’s a developmental leap for them x
My son started around 8/9 weeks lasted 2 weeks and he was back to normal x
I have checked temperature but she doesn’t have one as that was my first thought too. I’ve checked her mouth but I don’t think it’s teething either unless early stages as can’t feel anything. The only thing I can think of that I’ve drank different is decaf tea so I’ll stop it for a few days just to see if there is a difference.
ah let’s hope it does pass quickly for us too
the sling was a life saver !! I hope it passes for you x
Witching hour ..
Also a this age it’s happens that they cry for no raison ..
My daughter went through a similar thing sometime around that age. It's really common and it will pass. Skin to skin helped us
Witching hour! Baby wear, go outside, go look in a mirror, bounce, dance, sing, give a finger or pacifier to suck on
My daughter went through this around the same time but at night, every night for a week on the dot at 8pm. Assuming it was the witching hour, I thought I was going to go crazy! Started giving her an extra ounce of formula and she was fine
I’d asume colic or teething . If it’s teething try giving her a cold celery stick or put a damp washcloth (filtered water ) in the freezer and let her chew on it . Hope this helps💕
No teething no to early
Might be some colics if she pull the legs and go and stop.
Or she might be really hungry who knows
not necessarily she could be getting the front bottom ones
Hmm I think it might be the witching hour as it tends to be similar time everyday. She doesn’t pull her legs up. She also can calm down for a bit so I feed her she’ll be all fine and then all of a sudden start again so not hunger either. I’m hoping it will pass quickly 🥹
