My 6 week old cries almost constantly whenever he's awake and not feeding. I am losing my mind it's absolutely relentless.
He just seems so miserable and unhappy all the time - whether lying down, being held. He wriggles and squirms constantly. I feel like it might be his tummy causing him problems as it sometimes comes in waves, and he does dozens of dirty nappies a day, and at night wakes grunting and straining before passing wind. However having taken him to the doctor they couldn't see an issue. He was breech so the osteopath suggested maybe his insides had been very squished and need time to relax. However it's hard not to take it personally and think I'm just not doing the right thing ever.
Has anyone got any tips on how to cope? Or just anyone who has been through and come out the other side?!
It's so hard to try and stay positive and upbeat when it's so relentless and not knowing if there's an end in sight is killing me!!
