Baby Won’t Stop Whining

My little girl is five months old and is my world. She can be such a sunshine baby. However, about a month ago, she started whining. Sunup to sundown with the exception of morning smiles are filled with whines, whines, whines. They build to crying easily. It’s constantly entertaining her until she whines three minutes later and we move onto the next thing and even through it, she whines intermittently. She whimpers for food, boredom, and when all her needs are met. All. Day. Long. Maybe a 25 second reprieve. I am constantly overstimulated. Please can anyone shed any insight? I am losing my mind.

my girl is almost 7 months old!! i think with babies learning new things (crawling, sitting up independent, etc) it can be a lot for them and then PLUS the foresaken teethingggggg- don't get me started.

i defff am feeling the overstimulation because she either wants to constantly be held or me sitting right behind her. if she doesn't see me, cue the whining/crying

i love her to deathhhhhh but mommas gotta pee and eat and clean lol!! hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel is soon! we just gotta hang in there!

My son's about 8 months old and he's been like this all his life but it keeps getting worrssee. We don't know what to do either, we just consistently hold him, rub or pat his back, burp him, in and outt've feeding, playing and bouncing 🤷🏼‍♀️

They get to a certain age and they just want to know where you are. How do you feel about baby wearing? That was what I did.

I definitely second loop ear plugs. Check out there website to read about them. I think they made a slight difference on a whole.

Sensory overload is a thing and I never had it before I had my baby. Also if we heard a grown adult cry or whinge ALL day we’d find that really uncomfortable. So why do we think we’d handle it any better just because society tells us “babies cry and whinge, so it’s normal”. So do give yourself some grace.

On the positive side my daughter is 1 now and apart from when she’s ill or teething she hardly whinges, she’s too busy trying to baby babble and saying a few words. But that’s much nicer than a constant moan.

Thank you so much for this recommendation!

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?
