Is anyone else’s baby screaming non-stop or is mine just broken

My almost 4-week old has really bad gas and reflux issues (we think), some days are better than others but some feeds he’ll fall asleep and be really peaceful and some are so bad he’ll spit up and then scream inconsolably for 2 hours 😩😩

I think I have an oversupply/fast flow too cause he’s gulping sometimes which makes his reflux worse, but I’m already using laid back positioning and unlatching him to burp and nothing helps 😩 block feeding doesn’t work bc I end up with e hit

Has anyone gone through something similar?? Or am I just doomed with a reflux baby 🥺

my baby is like this when i have dairy! she spits up a lot, gets a rash and screams nonstop for hours. i’ve been dairy free and it’s helped a lot, like a night and day difference! maybe look into trying dairy free if you’re breastfeeding or a goat milk formula instead to see if it helps anything? cmpa is super common in newborns!

We did have some major issues with colics and silent reflux, our baby was crying uncontrollably for hours the first month of his life. I cut off dairy and baby is on reflux medication for 2 weeks now and doing much better!
Not sure if this can help but if you feel that your baby is miserable because of possible reflux there’s medication that can help, I could not stand to wait for him to outgrow it…

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

A full 8 hours

My 1 month and five week old newborn just slept 8 hours. I genuinely don’t know who blessed me, but good lord am I thankful. We really only woke up a few times to put her binky back in her mouth. She did just got home from the NICU and adjustment was pretty hard for the past few nights, so she certainly deserves a lot of sleep. Just happy to see her feeling more comfortable.

Baby hates me?

Why does my baby hate me. All she wants from me is to be fed and then screams and screams at me, she settles with everyone else and i don't understand what im doing wrong. I feel like the worst mum ever and am really struggling.

Witching hour??

Pretty sure my 7 week old has a strict “lose all chill at 6pm” policy 😅

Evenings = crying, pacing, questioning my life choices 😂

Fed, burped, cuddled… still a bit of a mystery. Any tips from mums who survived this stage? How did you get through the evening chaos?!

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Front sleeping

My baby is 9 months old and I was told a while back that the sleep should always start in there back, is this true and why?
My baby always wants to front sleep now and I’m fighting every night to get the sleep to start on his back or side
