Why?

If there is something going on that’s making baby cranky you need to know it’s not your fault. Baby having issues doesn’t = your fault. They’re not attacking you as a mom by saying this. But it can be easy for it to seem this way so early post partum with all the hormones.
Definitely take her in to the pediatrician and mention how fussy she is. There are soooo many things that go be going on.
Is she nursing for formula fed? Is she be burped? Does she have a dairy intolerance? Is she overtired and not having enough naps? Colic. Tongue tie, etc etc.

She’s only formula fed, I burp her half way through and the end. I don’t know if she has a dairy intolerance, she is gaining weight good has plenty of wet and dirty nappies and no rash so I’m dumbfounded. She could be overtired as she’s been fighting naps in the day time. I’m not sure on tongue or lip tie as I haven’t checked myself, she has days where she feeds perfectly and days she doesn’t it’s just so hard. I just wish they would stop with it all of the time as it’s making me down I’m starting to feel anxious whenever I hear her cry incase it turns in to a scream. She also had her vaccinations a week ago and has been more cranky since then X

My second born cried so much more than my first, so I really know how you’re feeling. If youre not familiar with it, look up the “crying curve”. Your baby is at the age where their crying really peaks, and then it comes back down within the next month or two. It’s so hard to manage day to day when you have a fussy baby and your constantly trying to figure out what’s wrong, are they uncomfortable, is there anything you could be doing differently etc. I bought myself some Loop earplugs which really helped me cope when he was screaming a lot. You are not doing anything wrong and it also doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong with her. Some babies are just more sensitive and express themselves in this way more 💗

My first two girls were so fussy, my third was a little better but still not chill like my fourth (my only boy so far). If she is bottle fed I would suggest trying to switch up her formula and / or bottles and see if that helps. My boy is my only formula baby but he needed one for sensitive tummys. If you are really concerned talk to your health care professional, but sometimes babies are just cranky. My first cried ALL the time, I was lucky if she slept 4 hours a day. She was gaining weight and healthy so the doctors weren't concerned, she was just a cranky baby. You are doing great, mama. 🩷

Sounds like my second one! First 3 months he was super gassy, I ended up having him in the harness on me CONSTANTLY, so that he'd feel safe through the tummy pains. But he was gaining weight etc.
He went on a sensitive formula (doctors recommendation). It basically just has more prebiotics in it, to help them break down the lactose. It made a huge difference for him - i recommend you talk to her pediatrician about it!
Now he is a year and a half. He still has tummy issues. He is off formula, but is now struggling with fructose and fiber - and has been prescribed a high fat diet.
He doesn't have any allergies, but he has a sensitive tummy.

He also has quite the temper, to the point that he has started breath holding spells (when they get so angry they forget to breathe and pass out). I think his temper is at least partly connected to his previous tummy pains. And he is slowly getting better, not acting so extreme everytime he doesn't get his way.

I think it could be worth talking to a doctor about. She might not be allergic, but sensitive and need some extra support digesting.

Has she had the Rotavirus vaccine? My boy took that one really bad.

My son cried an absolutely heart breaking cry for weeks, months. Kept going to the doctor saying there is something wrong. I was constantly dismissed. At 3 months it turned out that he had a milk protein allergy. Swapped formula and he has been the easiest baby since. Cries maybe ones a day, often not at all.

If formula burp more often, she could have a cows milk protein allergy, and that can cause acid reflux and make babies really uncomfortable you could try a dairy protein allergy formula, burp often and try to keep her elevated for atleast like a half hr after she eats don’t lay her down flat

My baby was a screamer, and everyone used to say there was something wrong with my baby too, it used to really annoy me, but once she hit 5/6 months she was stopped be so high maintenance and everyone shut up saying she was broken.

She’s currently on Aptamil but I’ve bought the Kendamil Goat to see if that’s easier on her stomach ? I just feel at a loose end I just feel like she’s a really unhappy baby most of the time ☹️

Thanks everyone for replying. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world going through it X

Just replying to your comment about doctors checking for allergies. They dont. There is no such test sadly, but the symptoms will get the ball rolling. My son had horrible tummy pains (he arched his back after a feed), dry skin, mucus in his poo, gas these are all symptoms of an allergy. He was on Aptamil. They moved him to Aptamil Pepti 1, which is covered by the NHS.
