Fussy babyšŸ˜•

FTM here and I’m losing the battle. Baby has been challenging since Thanksgiving I’m not sure what’s the matter. I changed my baby, fed him, burped him and he’ll fall asleep while nursing but when I transfer him to his crib he doesn’t stay sleep I’m not sure what’s going on. He’ll be 3 weeks on Monday. Please give me guidance.

Gas? Have you tried mylicon?

Avatar

Baby just wants comfort and security from bring close to mama. They cannot yet understand that they are their own person and feel that them and mama are still one. That's norma and healthyl attachment development. My 1st baby was that way and my current soon to be 3 week old is that way. I wish I had a solution for you or a magic hack. But that's life with a newborn.

Keep trying mama ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø. Yes try mylicon, swaddling if he likes it ,maybe just wants to snuggle be patient with yourself and baby .

That’s my 2 week old as well. It could be gas, but also their nervous systems are still developing and they need us to feel safe and comfortable enough to sleep some times. It’s incredibly difficult to manage, but I’m learning it’s also very common and healthy!

My 2 week old is going through that now. I think he’s really gassy so we are trying gas drops and tummy massages. If it keeps up we are gonna try a chiropractor! I’ll update here :)

I could’ve written this myself! Baby is 3 weeks today and has been so fussy since Thanksgiving. Hoping it’s just a growth spurt but it’s been very challenging!

I usually give my two week old back pats and I’ll shush her rhythmically. She likes to sleep to that. I keep patting and shushing for 10 seconds after I place her in too.

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🄲

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.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
