Miserable baby

Might have gastro problems? Have you spoken to your GP or HV about it?
Definitely sounds like she's uncomfortable. I hope weaning helps you both. It's really difficult and you're doing an amazing job xx
Looking at the comments, I'm interested why people are advising weaning? Why would it help? I thought as long as possible on the breast was fine @Lauren @Rosie genuinely curious
@Julia my son is 20lbs but he’s not interested in milk he became so fussy won’t drink he’s formula fed would never drink more than 3oz woke up 5/6 times a night has done for the past 3 months I spoke to my doctor about it he said is there a reason your waiting until 6 months to wean I said is that not when we’re suppose to wait he said no nhs guidelines advise when baby is ready between 4-6 months all factors considered I decided he was ready and it’s been life changing for us both
My son was exactly how this mum is describing I hated taking him out he just wasn’t happy I just assumed it was a phase then it got to 4 months and it got worse so I thought 4 month regression or a phase he was going through again but how long can a phase last 3 months ? He’s so much happier now I know every baby is different and ready at different times so it’s up to us as mums to decided when our baby’s are ready x
Is she constipated at all? My LG cries a lot when she's trying to poo and let a fart out so could be that..
@Julia maybe if there's an underlying milk intolerance or silent reflux? My son has silent reflux and it definitely affects his mood. I'd probably go to a doctor first before weaning early though personally but everyone is different
My son was the same he turnt 5 months today I started weaning him Friday and he’s been a totally different baby he’s happy laughing sleeping better and it’s only been 2 days he’s now drinking more than 2/3oz honestly wish I had done a few weeks sooner
