Really fussy and upset baby. Please tell me it gets better?!

Might sound a bit far fetched but my daughter has a cows milk allergy and it caused her to be like this! But then she also spat up a lot after feeds and had pretty bad eczema along with it.
Other than that though fussiness and being distracted is so normal!

My third was a bit like this… up until 12wks she would just cry from about 4pm-10pm and nothing would settle her. Then it was like a light switched from 12wks and we saw massive improvements. My older 2 were so easy.. and I really struggled with this. She’s 2yrs now and a happy little girl ☺️

My 10 week old is like this. We switched him to a hypoallergenic formula almost 2 weeks ago because we suspected CMPA but nothing really has changed. We also saw a new pediatrician who started him on reflux meds almost a week ago. We’re trying everything to figure out why he cries all the time and trying to make him comfortable. Hard to say if any of it is working but he has been flashing us more smiles during his few chill moments, which he only did before while sleeping, but still crying and fussy most of the day. I know it’ll get better for us eventually & I know it will for you too! But it is extremely hard. I just want my baby to be happy too! I hope it gets better soon! 🫶🏼

Mine was like this, she had bad reflux and cried ALOT. It got better around 3 months, ish. She’s still hard work though (9 months now) and is very alert and busy baby.. I’m just thankful I have a clever and bright baby. Mother hood is soo hard. You’ve got this 🫶🏻

My baby was like this. We were convinced she had to have had something. We thought maybe it was CMPA, so I eliminated dairy and soy from my diet (which was pretty hard, but I was able to do it!). After doing so for a long time, she was still very very fussy. I decided to add dairy and soy back into my diet since she was still so fussy and since it is so hard to eliminate it completely from my diet lol. Around 5 months or so, she just started to get somewhat better with her fussiness. She is now almost 9 months and is so much better! She still is a particular baby and lets you know how she feels though. My thoughts are that she was a gassy baby and didn’t like the feeling of it, and when they are younger, their digestive system is still immature. So when she was younger, she hated how it felt and let us know lol. But she definitely got better, so keep that in mind that most likely this super fussy time is temporary. Feels like forever, but you got this!

hey! my baby is currently 4 months old but just like yours was fussy the very night we brought her home lol she did not stop crying and would literally make us soo so anxious my partner and I. We would look at each other like?!! what do we do now lol, you will most likely relate to that. we tried EVERYTHING. The drops, the gripe water, I would even change her clothes thinking it was annoying her or something or that she was too hot that's how bad she would cry. I would cry with her ... She was worse at night and I know for a fact that it was because of build up gas which I did everything to relieve her from it, like belly massages, bicycles and would watch youtube to find ways to release the gas which worked but the crying would start again 😂 😭 I changed her milk like 4 times can you believe it? went from cow's milk formula to goat milk formula ( Nanny Care Goat the pink lid) and it took like a few days for her to get used to it and she felt a bit better, the gas decreased

I’m sorry but my 14 month old is still fussy and winges so much of the time 😅 there’s so many different reasons it can be for though. Especially as young as yours is.
Is just trying to eliminate them and get to the bottom of it!
My boy has got cows milk allergy and bad reflux, it caused him lots of problems and being unsettled early on. Something to maybe think about and get checked xx
