*Question / help*
Does anyone have experience with a 5 week old that has random crying bouts? My little one is generally pretty content, but will randomly cry and seem really miserable at times. Nothing seems to helps, and then she just cries herself to sleep. It happens at least once a day, sometimes more. Not sure if she is kind of colicky or maybe struggling with silent reflux...? I hate seeing her so upset 😣
@tiredmama0917, yeah I took her to urgent care the other day and got her into a different pediatrician this week. They told me to try the probiotics to see if that will help, and said she’s probably colicky. I’m hoping that’s all it is.... 🙈
@itstessa, yeah that’s absolutely ridiculous. I would call and tell them you don’t care what doctor you see because your daughter needs to see someone. Sounds like she doesn’t have a very good pediatrician right now. Yeah, I know gerber has a probiotic but it’s $30 a bottle which is crazy. Hopefully the mommy’s bliss will work well for her.
@tiredmama0917, Aw that must be such a relief that she’s doing better! My little ones ped doesn’t have any openings until the end of the month, and didn’t seem concerned when I told her about all of my daughter’s symptoms. Which I think is ridiculous and I’m trying to get in with a different doc ASAP. I agree - it is hard to find stuff that’s safe for babies under 1 year old. I’m going to give Mommy’s Bliss probiotics a try - hopefully that helps
@itstessa, it’s okay. I am just glad that we brought her to the doctor for it. She was actually put on medication for it around 2 months old. She is a totally different baby on it, she’s so happy and rarely cries anymore it’s amazing. It absolutely is heartbreaking to not be able to help your little one. Why won’t her pediatrician see her? I was actually going to buy some but haven’t tried any yet. It’s hard to find anything that you can give a baby that’s safe for her age.
@tiredmama0917, oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear that ☹️ I hope she is doing better! I hope it is too - it is heartbreaking when your child is hurting / upset and there’s nothing you can do to remedy that. Have you tried any probiotics...? I’m wondering if I should get some for her since her ped won’t see her just yet 🙄
@itstessa, that’s how my baby started her reflux. No real pattern and not too often but she would randomly start crying and nothing we did calmed her down. Then it got bad and she stopped gaining weight and it ended up being a bad case of reflux. I hope it’s just colic for your little one and that it goes away. It’s not easy to hear them crying when nothing you do helps them. I hope it gets better. Is she breast or bottle fed?
@bren, I’m thinking she may be colicky 😞 have those drops worked for your little one?
@tiredmama0917, She spits up from time to time - but never a lot, and not consistently
@bj1605, Yes. Her ped told me it didn’t warrant bringing her in to be seen right away 😒
My baby did the same around five weeks doctor told me it's colic she recommended Gerber colic drops ask her dr
Why is my baby screaming and crying after she eats, she had a clean diaper.. bright eyes, doesn't seem to be sleepy😟🤔.
FTM please help me.....
baby is screaming like she is in pain fed her changed her n burped her.. she needed help with her poop she gas been constipated but she got some poop out and is still crying.. any ideas??? pls help
How do can i help my baby with gas,he crys from it for hours,gas drops don't seem to help and pushing his legs up makes him cry more HELP
The one thing I wanted to be able to do with and for my daughter, I can’t seem to do without the help of a LC... I can’t seem to get her to latch like they do and all my family is telling me to do is switch to formula.. I can’t help but cry at the thought of all of this...

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
@itstessa, good I’m glad you were able to get in somewhere. I hope it’s just colic and that it will go away soon!
