Hang in there sweetie, we all have these days. I have 3, and my hubby works evenings so the hardest part of the day is all me, solo. I totally feel you. Take a big breath, step outside for a moment if you need to, just know that this too shall pass. Hugs and love
Thank you @katie. I feel like im losing my mind slowly. ?
He is only 3 weeks but since yesterday he's been like this. I feel so guilty for feeling this way. It's unfair to him. The only way I get him to calm down is by rocking him in my arms. He doesn't want my SO for shat (he takes him every time he cries, for feeding and diaper changes), he just stays crying with him and my SO can't calm him down like I do, he tries but it doesn't work. It's hard because every single time I go to pump, he wakes up and cries. ? he could be gassy but how can someone be so sure? Or at least how can I be so sure? ?
Breathe and relax. Take a few mins for yourself. Go outside get some freash air or take a shower. It's ok op. I know how you feel. I remember feeling this way when ds2 was a newborn. You are still getting used to 2. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing great! ???
Now for the crying try skin to skin and see if that helps. Sometimes ds2 would cry until I took my shirt off and layed him on my chest to hear my heartbeat. Usually it helped. I hope he calms down or you firgure out whats wrong. Good luck op.
Mine is going through this as well. It's frustrating, but remember it's normal. It's likely gas. Look up Dunstan's baby language. It's helped me a lot! When she had tummy troubles I'll do bicycle legs with her and that almost always calms her down. Mylicon drops help as well, but I usually only give her those before she goes to sleep at night. Remember it's just a phase!

My daughter is screaming today too. I am sorry long in the living room with her so my husband isn't bothered by crying

Take his legs up to his tummy like knees to his chest and start moving them clockwise and if he starts to calm it's most like his tummy.
Also you can try gripe water or gas drop.
