I feel like my 1 month old is always crying unless she is being fed or is asleep. She is maybe happy for 5mins or so and then crying again. She must be tired but won't sleep in the day for very long even if I'm holding her. Is it just me? Feel like I'm doing something wrong ?

oh mama!! my baby was a crier too!!! for my baby, she had bad “silent reflux” and a ton of food allergies causing her tummy to hurt all the time. it felt like no matter what I did, I could never make her happy. it may be worth checking in with a doctor. just remember… if they say something is “common” it doesn’t mean it’s “normal!”… and there is usually an answer to what’s going on.
as long as she is fed, dry, and not overtired, just give her all the cuddles and love you can. check with a doctor if you are concerned. my dms are also always open to brainstorm more of what may be going on. I learned A LOT through my kiddos colicky phase!!

It sounds about right dont worry each day the time between feeding changing and sleeping will be longer❤️❤️

I remember writing a post like this, when my son was the same age. I think the peak of crying is 6-8 weeks. He literally hit 8 weeks and was the happiest baby and still is at 11 months. It does get better ❤️

My baby is almost 4 weeks and exactly the same, feels like she never settles and is awake so much! I don’t have any answers but you’re not alone, hopefully it gets better soon 🥰

Just to say we have had the same experience, you are not alone! Ours clearly had some digestive issues and seems a little better with meds - maybe speak to dr xx

My little one was like this and the cries sounded like she was in pain. It didn’t feel right, especially when comparing to our first. Doctor thinks it’s silent reflux and put her on omeprazole as she said it was better than gaviscon and it had made a huge difference to how much she cries. Worth checking if you think something isn’t quite right.
