Anyone else feels angry when their baby is crying and cannot be settled?
My 3 month old stopped taking boob to soothe so now I’m struggling to find way to calm him down.
He’s always crying after ~1 of wake time and he wants to sleep but it is really hard to put him down to sleep without using boob. He just stopped taking it. He still eats when he’s hungry but only for 5-10 minutes and when he’s done he’s done.
Any suggestions?? I really feel like I’m going to loose my ming as it feels like he’s crying non stop. I haven’t left the house because of it and I’m worried if he will do that in public and I’ll feel like worst mother ever.

my little girl started not to settle on the boob she sometimes does but when she is over tired is when she cries and the boob doesn’t work. I will draw the curtains if we are home to help her fall asleep whilst standing and singing with music on. She also done this when I was out in a cafe but where I knew it was because she was tired I just stood up carried on talking and she nodded off

I still boob but sometimes he doesn’t take it nowadays if he is overtired. I have to put my little one on the sling and sometimes hold the dummy in for a good 10 min and he falls asleep. A lot of bouncing though

A lot of bouncing does the trick! Also if I’m not sure why she is crying, I’ll always hold her so she’s forward facing and this tends to distract her/comfort her x
