try massaging her belly clockwise works wonders with my girl and a warm bath x
Funnily my daughter is the same shes 18 days old called hospital they said theres a growth sprut around now that causes it lasts around 5 days x
I would say a good bubble bath would do the trick.
Mine has been doing the exact same for the last 5 days. Nothing will settle her and it’s due to a growth spurt along with cluster feeding
My 2 week old has been the same. She used to be fine sleeping independently but today she’s only slept on us x
Maybe she is overtired or overstimulated from the day. Have you tried dimming lights and turning off TV/noise? that can help calm my baby down when all other needs are met.
Only thing that helps is comfort. Close contact and a dummy during those periods. That was the advice I got from a consultant when my first born had it.

Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums 🙏
Hi mums, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so I’ve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and I’m really thinking about quitting.
Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.
Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. 🙏

Breastfeeding/bedtime feeds
We’ve officially stopped feeding during the day, going on a month now. But night time feeds😭 I’m so over it. How do I stop? It’s so easy to just keep doing it. We co-sleep so I usually just stuff boob in her mouth when shes fussing at night but I can’t do that anymore. And she’s going to war over not having boob, what helps? How can I get her to soothe better without it and find comfort in other things?

Baby not burping - consequences?
My little one is 5 weeks old and does not wind!! No matter what I do. I try for like 15 minutes and he doesn’t bring anything up, I tend to keep him lying on me after feeding if I can’t wind him and he’s normally ok. There’s been the odd occasion he’s spat up when I’ve led him down but it’s very rare. What is the consequences if he is not burped? It’s stressing me out because surely he has something to bring up and don’t want him being uncomfortable 🙈

Sleeps all day
Anyone else’s baby sleep all day and then have mega long wake windows like 5pm onwards?🤣
She’s one month old and I swear she stays awake no longer than 20ish minutes in the day wake windows but as soon as 4/5pm hits she’s awake for hours with small naps in-between! Then from midnight onwards she goes back to sleeping loads😴
