FTM here and Iām losing the battle. Baby has been challenging since Thanksgiving Iām not sure whatās the matter. I changed my baby, fed him, burped him and heāll fall asleep while nursing but when I transfer him to his crib he doesnāt stay sleep Iām not sure whatās going on. Heāll be 3 weeks on Monday. Please give me guidance.

Gas? Have you tried mylicon?

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¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø. Yes try mylicon, swaddling if he likes it ,maybe just wants to snuggle be patient with yourself and baby .

Thatās 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. Itās incredibly difficult to manage, but Iām learning itās also very common and healthy!

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

I couldāve written this myself! Baby is 3 weeks today and has been so fussy since Thanksgiving. Hoping itās just a growth spurt but itās been very challenging!

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

Anybody know the proper dosage amount for mylicon the dropper is a bit confusing
