First time mum struggling

You’re not a bad mama!! The fact you’re trying to find solutions proves that!
Honestly this happened to me in the hospital! A nurse told me to play white noise, swaddle and paci (if you use one) it honestly works so good.
My baby is about 7 weeks and when she’s fussy I play white noise or baby lullaby’s on Spotify and rhythmically shush while holding and patting her

Aww you’re not a bad mum, you’re just in the trenches atm. What helped us with settling was swaddling baby really tight, playing womb sounds and rocking him. Try to make the environment as “womb like” as much as possible as she’s still adjusting to the outside world. We would also tiger hold our baby as it helps to relieve gas. Sometimes babies cry for no reason though and that’s okay. Take it easy on yourself, put on your headphones and remember this too shall pass. With ours, it became easier towards the end of the 2 month mark

Have you tried giving her gas drops? Newborns can really struggle to settle when they have trapped gas. My daughter when she was that young was always soothed by running the faucet on full blast! We also did a lot of humming with bouncing or swaying with her. Shushing near their ears can be calming too. It’s a tough part of the newborn phase but you will find what helps her! Give everything a try and you’ll find something that works. The hardest thing is it may take 10 min of trying it to actually see it take effect so try not to change your soothing method too quickly. You’re an amazing new mom who is just finding your way. You’ll get there. 💕

Hey, you are doing your best mama. Gas drops and tummy massages really helped my daughter as she had gas trapped at 6 weeks old. She is 11 weeks now and isn’t fussy anymore. It’s just a phase, it’ll pass. Just hang in there! 💝

Oh please don’t be hard on yourself. Sometimes babies can make you feel like you’re trying to figure out the biggest mystery and sometimes nothing seems to work. They’re trying to get used to being on the outside and it’s A LOT for everyone involved. Also just make sure it’s nothing a GP can’t help you with. If she’s got reflux it can mean you might want some medical advice. In my case our little ones had CMPA and Reflux so would cry after every feed coz her tummy was hurting her and no amount of shushing or rocking would help with that. Also the witching hour(s) is horrendous in the first few months. Remember their little brains can’t take much stimulation so try keep late afternoon/evenings really quiet so that she doesn’t get too overstimulated. Lots of baby wearing, soft lighting, no flashing toys etc.. xxx
