Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m a first time mom and my son is almost 2 weeks and has been super cranky, I’ll feed him change his diaper and he’s just start crying and be super fussy. And then once he’s almost asleep I’ll put him in his crib and he’ll just start crying. Help!
Good suggestion about the gas, you may need to burp him more too. May just be getting used to digesting and latching. Too much air getting in. Does he fart. Google the rubbing techniques and move his legs to chest. And at 2 weeks I’d let my guy sleep on me or put him in rocker when he was ready to go down. Movement, Swaddling, white noise? At that age they just need to hear your heartbeat and feel you. Maybe water would be calming?? GL
My daughter was like that when she came home from the hospital, has drops work but she got hiccups after every feeding and seemed really uncomfortable all the time and almost like she would choke sometimes and she ended up having silent reflux, look it up and check out the symptoms
Same with my LO ! I thought it was the gas bothering her for weeks and tried everything from gripe water to gas drops to tummy rubs and warm baths...i took her to the ER today and she has gastroesophageal reflux and She was prescribed ranitidine (zantac). Shes also colic.
Yes could be. He is probably getting air while feeding. My son is the same. Burp him more often and try gas drops. You'll see a difference and they are safe for newborns.
@mommyinwonderland, He gets hiccups a lot, almost every feeding could this mean he’s gassy?
Gas drops and burp him often during feeds!
