Inconsolable crying
We had our baby on 1st July at 39 weeks via csection because she was breech.
At 6.8lbs she’s healthy and has been doing well.
I’m trying to breast feed which is generally going alright, though she doesn’t have a great latch. I have a lactation consultant coming Monday.
Yesterday she would give feeding queues and then not latch, so feeds were harder.
At night she was inconsolably crying from about 12:30 am until about 4:30 am. I’d changed her nappy, her clothes for comfort, I tried feeding, we rocked and bobbed, walked around, skin to skin, shushed and sang, checked her temperature and just had no luck.
It’s horrible to see her get so upset and worked up, when I know she’s too young to get colic too. Just wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences? I’d hate to miss a sign something is wrong.

Have you been winding her? Some babies are more fussy than others and a small bit of trapped wind sends them over the edge. There is also something called the “witching hour” which is hours of inconsolable crying however it usually starts when they are a few weeks old. She’s not too young to start showing signs of colic but it usually starts at a few weeks old.
