@autumnarrival17 it will! I promise lol

@carolina_mama, that is what I think keeps me going- it has to get better than this... she is a good baby and I love her a lot- but the sleep deprivation is driving me batty lol- I can only hope in a few weeks time she is sleeping soundly through the night!

@autumnarrival17 I remember when I first brought mine home and when she was like a week old I remember this one night 😨 I tried absolute everything and nothing worked she screamed and screamed. If you get overwhelmed it's okay to set her down for a min and walk away. That's what I had to do! But....it gets better. By week 6 or 7 mine was sleeping thru the night! The key is to just (try) and stay calm!

Lol it will pass. As the baby gets older it will get so much better.

Sounds like you're doing all the right things!! Keep it up and it will get better. She's trying to figure things out as your are too!

@gmartinez31, I have to try the bath- she is just so calm and mostly easy during the day- at night it just becomes completely unmanageable and since I am a bit on my own for both those times - I never have a real chance to rest or recharge. My mom stops by for an hour or so each day and I use that to take a shower and eat something. I have to figure it out though and soon because this is only getting worse.

Took my baby her first bath yesterday and she loved it . I never seen her so calm. She slept for hours after.

Singing to her works for me sometimes when she's fussy. She loves Sam smith and Adele.

Being exhausted as a new mommy didn't help me the first few weeks but this weekend hubby was home and he was able to help me with late night feedings. I feel so much better now and have more patience with her.

Hope things get better ❤

@towens921, true- my husband works 7 days a week and gives relief from afternoon to bedtime - and I know he needs to sleep to function at work. I don’t know what we will do when I have to go back too... one of us will be a complete zombie 😑

@sparklymama, yes she is swaddled for most of the night but after a certain period of time it doesn’t work anymore she fights against it and breaks her hands out. I have tried the sleep sack style too- same thing she overheats and gets crankier

Have you tried swaddling?

Baby may have colic or just be fussy at this time. He/she is very young and they go through these fussy periods. But you definitely need help. See if someone can alternate with you at night when it may be the worst.
