I have fed him multiple times throughout the night and my boobs hurt. I've swaddled him, changed his diaper, I've rocked, bounced and swayed with him... I don't know what else to do. he is only quiet if I'm holding him or feeding him. mostly feeding him which he falls asleep during. and if I move him away he wakes up fussy again..
I don't know what else to do.. I can't sleep. he won't sleep. he's in his bassinet crying now and I don't know if I should just let him or try to calm him again.
My son was the same way, I held him a lot during the first couple weeks. It'll pass. Please don't let him cry though, it can cause insecurities and mistrust as he's growing if he's left to cry it out. Good luck, I'm sure you're doing your best.
I've tried introducing binkies to him but he just spits them out. I don't know if he's gassy... he could be? I don't know. he's just 4 days old now. @mommymcclung
Does he seem gassy?? He might be confusing wanting to eat with tummy pain from gas? Mine does that a lot. He might also want to just suck. Have you introduced a binky yet? I'm up with my 20 day old right now.
