Newborn crying, help!

Have you tried cuddling her in and just walking around the house with her? Often they just want the closeness and movement, now that she's out she misses you. Otherwise, how long are you burping for? It used to take 20-30 minutes sometimes for me to get the burps up

My little one takes forever to burp since day one. I agree with hazel, try chest to chest with her without clothes. The closeness she will feel being against you hearing your heartbeat might help.

When my daughter was a newborn she would do the same thing and most the time all she wanted was skin to skin, strip her down to her diaper and you top and bra off, once I did that she would calm down pretty immediately..also it helps regulate their temperature which might be another reason she won’t stop crying, she might be too hot or too cold but regardless skin to skin will help with either or

Is she warm enough? Our baby girl was restless as she wanted to be all snug and warm. I thought I’d had loads of layers on her but clearly not! That settled her.

The second day is the hardest it’s when they realize they aren’t in that secure pouch in your stomach and can’t eat immediately or pee and poo freely without a diaper on everything is cold. You aren’t a bad mom they just don’t know they aren’t separate from you. Is there a nurse that could help you in anything? Contact napping is your best friend/skin to skin ❤️

Swaddling her in her blanket, that's what would help my son. The nurse showed me how to swaddle him they way they don't at the hospital and it honestly helped

I used to reference the 5s method every time I’m not sure why my baby is crying. And it has always worked. 1. Swaddling 2. Shushing 3. Swinging 4. Sucking (pacifier/thumb) 5. Side or stomach position

Lion position: Try laying her belly on your forearm and allowing her legs to dangle

Take her outside xx

I second the lion position that helped my baby to go to sleep. I would also have her on my chest no clothes and place a blanket on us. Try to turn off all the lights and walk her. White noise helps a lot google ocean sound. If you feel like getting frustrated or you can’t take it anymore. Leave the baby on the bassinet and walk away, breathe and come back when you are feeling better. You’re not a bad mom your baby is just adjusting to the outside world.

Could she want to cluster feed? My little one was that like that on her first night x

Walk around and hold her, sing or hum to her. She just wants her mom. Don’t put her down till she’s calm and peaceful

Continue feeding her as long as she takes it

Lion positions works. I second that

Get a pacifier and try with her. Shushing might work too

Make sure you are calm. Don’t panic mama. You got this. You will learn your baby.

Maybe it could be reflux? Try carrying her in an upright position close to your body and walking around. Reflux is worse laying down. Also get in lots of skin to skin contact, it soothes her and helps her feel like she’s in the womb. If she’s breastfeeding keep at it, I breastfed constantly in the early days and it was one of the only things that would calm my baby and to this day (she’s 15 months) still does. Also, if you’re trying things back to back and constantly changing positions and changing it up due to stress she will feel that and it will actually stress her out more. Be consistent for a bit, if you’re rocking her or walking her, keep at it for a while. Don’t immediately do something else.

Everyone’s given some excellent ideas so I just wanted to say - you’ve got this! You’re not a bad mum, it’s hard work and you’re still recovering! She’ll calm and it will get better as you learn her and trust your Mum instincts! Believe me - the second night was awful for us too but now I just somehow know what she needs every time (6.5 months). Sending a hug ❤️

I just want to say, this is very normal. My baby was like this for a while as a newborn. Don’t blame yourself. You will figure her out soon. Something will start working. Just takes time. I know it’s overwhelming. Whoever makes you feel like it’s not, forgot what having a newborn was like.

Definitely very normal for newborns! Although, my baby was a dream for like the first 2 weeks and barely cried, then after that she seemed to just cry constantly for weeks 😑
