So, I'm going to throw myself a pity party right now. You don't have to join, I just need to vent. I feel like I'm failing as a mom. My LO is 5 weeks, and if he's not sleeping or eating, he's crying. I don't know what to do. Everyone who told me, "oh you'll know your son's cries and how to tend to him, don't worry! It's like second nature". Well clearly it isn't second nature for me. I haven't figured out what his cries mean. I catch myself getting frustrated at him for being fussy. Then I have to remind myself that he's just a baby and he is just adapting to this world, and it's tough. I look at it like he's "homesick", and wants to be back in my tummy. Again, just needed to vent. No need to join in on my pity party....
The baby might be fussy due to colic so you can try gas drops, gripe water or changing the formula
try taking a b as the with baby. that's what I always do with Sadie. she loves it. when she goes through her growth spurts she gets miserable so we take 2 or 3 baths a day sometimes I just use a ton of lotion on her
@reaganmommy2015, formula feeding. And I am going to look it up now @levleah.
look up "the happiest baby on the block-the 5 S's" on YouTube! Obviously im still pregnant and haven't tried it yet but it's worth a shot.
@reaganmommy2015, I have tried that. Doctor said he may have acid reflux so he has us trying out a few things to see if it can help him. Hopefully it does.
