Inconsolable

Have you tried the belly hold? It works great to calm my baby. Also, turning on the shower or some rain music works

@Sabrina what’s the belly hold

My 5-6 weekerwas this way before I switched my diet to animal based with white rice being the only grain I eat. Night and day improvements. Not a dairy allergy but I only do raw milk the pasteurized in cheese doesn’t seem to bother him but too much cheese will. Significantly increasing my protein intake and focusing on water as the only drink 95% of the time helped too good luck

Not as bad but fussier than her usual self and not sleeping very well - was a growth spurt for ~3days

My 8 week old does this about once a week. However she cluster feeds often. When she cries, i play RnB and she loves it for about 5 minutes each. She often dont like when I sit down with her during those crying/fussy moments.

Read about the wonder weeks! Baby might be going through a mental growth spurt. They go through a spurt of fussiness and then calm and bam they've learned new skills! Wonder weeks go off due date. My baby is 11 weeks but he'd be 9 according to their leaps and he definitely just had a huge spurt. He was extra fussy and wanted to be cuddled last week and now he "talks" and has discovered his hands. Worth looking into. I find it super interesting.

Yes!!! Exactly mine as well! It was really getting to me mentally but I just think some day he will be too cool for mom so I’m enjoying every snuggle. I suggest the 5 s’s look that up! It’s swaddle, side laying, sound (usually I just say shhh) swaying and sucking (pacifier). He also was gassy so his doc recommended cutting dairy so I’m trying that as well

Thank you ladies 🫶🏽

YUPPPP happened to me for the last 6 nights. like needed my nipple in his mouth in order to sleep it was insane. just stopped last night. we did a full bath, 4 oz bottle, sound machine routine & it worked. also weighed him today & he gained almost a pound in a week so i think it was just a crazy 6 week growth spurt. you will get through this!!

@Juliette tonight has been better, we did a bath and shower steam before bed. Wow a pound is crazy! Thank you for the encouragement.

Currently going through this! We’re having a rough afternoon/night. Nothing seems to be working, very fussy and only my husband can somewhat calm her.
