baby crying

They usually want a boob or a paci

Oh noo. Try walking and gently rocking her...a soother...try changing the position that you have her in your arms. My baby used to fuss when she wants a diff position or angle

Aww, mama, that can be so hard.
Things that worked for our newborn:
Loud, repeated “shhhhhh” sound, run in water (we’d get the bath running and let her listen to it - use whatever is the loudest running water you have), or white noise from our phones

Running water* ^

Day 2 is always the hardest. You’ll get through it sounds like you’ve done everything you can. You’ll get through it mama 🫶

I was told that day 2 is always the hardest as they are just realizing they are no longer in the womb. It's sort of a shock to their system. You are not doing anything wrong!
How is baby latching at the moment? Is he/she able to transfer milk properly? Just make sure to hold the baby as much as possible.

Second day syndrome is no joke!


Try white noise, rocking, walking around. Dummy if she takes one, if not allow to comfort suck.

You've got this mumma!

Are you breastfeeding? Stick them back on boob

Close contact and constant gentle rocking, shhhing and bum taps (to mimic the heart beat). You could even wrap them up snug in a breathable, soft swaddle when cuddling them. White noise helps massively. It’s tough but having them wrapped up helped us loads!

If it’s trapped wind (such as pulling from the legs and looking very uncomfortable) then place baby on your chest and rub their back in an 8 figure motion, this will help some of the trapped wind and also gives the the closeness/contact to calm them down.
