I am currently driving around the block because my LO won't go to sleep. He's been awake since 11:30. I've changed him twice and he's eaten around 6 oz of food. He's 3.5 weeks old. I am so exhausted I could cry. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. He's never this fussy during the day.
For any women that are still pregnant... GET AS MUCH SLEEP AS YOU CAN NOW.
6oz is alot esp at 3 weeks, my son is 3 months and eats that much now but you know your baby best. trying burping him more or leg exercises to fart it out. if it continues see his pediatrician could be colic. good luck momma!
He normally eats a lot. He has since day one. I am just totally exhausted. No swing, song, or rock was soothing him. The drive put him into a light sleep. I got home and took him out of the car seat and he is currently in another light sleep on my chest. I am afraid to move, I don't want to startle him. I just wish my "maternal instinct" would kick in so I can know what he needs. I just want sleep.
I wish I could like this a thousand times my baby is 2 weeks old and I'm a ftm she has been crying/screaming non stop all day long and I just don't know what to do I'm so frustrated I just want to cry this is everyday I only be getting 2 hours of sleep I agree get all the sleep u can get while your still pregnant😞
It sounds like he's too full momma. 6 ounces is a lot for his age. I can guarantee his little tummy is hurting. He probably acts hungry because that's the only way he know how to soothe himself when he have a tummy ache. Poor baby😞
I go back to his pediatrician next week. He's the one that encouraged me to feed him more as long as he's taking it. That's the only reason I am feeding him that much.
