I need reassurance

I'm the same and I get super anxious about it. He's got reflux and trapped gas and I also find it heartbreaking even though people say it's normal for babies to cry.

I always follow the rule of hungry babies or uncomfortable babies will be so much harder to settle. Sometimes if you’ve gone through your mental checklist of food / nappy / cold or hot / uncomfortable / gas and they’re still whingy then cuddles should suffice x

I'm the same! First time mum too, and even with nappy changes I get emotional when my baby gets distressed - he hates nappy changes and cries a lot. Even when my husband does the nappy change I'm quick to scoop the baby up and cuddle him afterwards until he stops crying. I do a lot of skin to skin, or cuddles in general, and that calms him (and me ha!) 😄

Skin to skin should help a lot inshaAllah! My baby had his 8 week vaccines yday and was crying soo so much after. It broke my heart because there was truly nothing I could do to ease his pain. He did calm with skin to skin and the crying only lasted a couple of hours on and off
