I know babies cry but I don’t know what’s a normal amount. My first LG cried 24/7 with colic and this time round my LG cries a few hours a day. I don’t know what’s wrong with her if she’s fed, changed, burped and slept she will sometimes be really upset and then randomly other times she will be really settled.
She had her tongue tie done a week ago as I thought she was previously struggling with trapped gas (it has improved loads), but I don’t know if there is something else I’m missing or if this is just normal for babies not to be content when they’re awake?

For the first 5 weeks my baby very rarely cried! He more winged when he needed something. But now we’ve hit the 5 week leap he cries more during the day and we can struggle to settle him, what I’ve found helps is when he starts to cry change position with him, lay him on his baby gym, cuddle him on his front, then back etc, do some tummy time, show him something he can look at, it’s really helped! He also loves his car seat and going on a drive can really settle him and put him to sleep x

How old is she now? It.might be that's she's got to the point where she wants some alone time on the floor to kick, stretch and look around? X

we had a week like this last week and I figured out she was bored AF 🤣 got the play gym and bouncer out and realised she acc wanted to be put down now where as before it had always been wanting to be held haha x
