My 2-week-old cries A LOT — especially during diaper changes. Is this normal? 🥺

My baby cries every time he has no clothes on or a nappy still does it now. Hates the bath just screams but soon as he’s dressed it stops.

I’m 6 months in now but honestly, the first few weeks are so tough figuring it all out.
My little boy cried a lot during nappy changes but he cried a lot while being laid down in general so I took him to an osteopath at 5 weeks, which helped him.
My only advice is to just lean into all the contact and find a good series to binge watch while you do it. I spent the first few weeks on the sofa a lot with my little boy basically attached to me and if we went out he was in the carrier 90% of the time too.
It’s still such early days and you’re both figuring each other out. There will be times where you will look and think, I genuinely don’t know what you want from me, but as time goes on you will find your flow. I can’t tell you how many times I googled what the different cries meant, but his cries all sounded the same so it was pointless 😂

Very normal..mine is 7 weeks and still cries a lot

Thanks for sharing your experience. What’s with osteopath?
My family says she will be spoiled if you’ll keep her in arms all the time. Is it true?

Sometimes babies cry for no reason at all. All you can do to try and eliminate reasons and try everything to find why she is (if there is a reason). Reasons she might be crying could be she’s hungry, tired, wet/soiled or cold. If you’ve addressed all those things, she just might be crying for no reason at all - it’s a tough time for them adjusting to life outside the womb. My daughter cried horribly during nappy changes, but my son (now 4 weeks old) doesn’t care at all. They just have to get used to everything, even the cold wipes (trust me - she will!). Sending love x

Same here. All of it, and he is 3 weeks. Non stop crying, and screaming sometimes, even if he ate, changed nappy etc. attached to my breast the "whole" time... And at night giving him bottle, the most I achieved is him to sleep 3 hours straight.
