Hiya, my DD is 7 weeks old today. For 6 and a half weeks she was an angel. Everyone was very jealous and commented how calm she was. However, a few days ago she started getting more and more upset and grumpy.
Normally she has 20mins or so feeding, I breast feed, a bit of a play for half an hour to 45 mins. When she starts to look tired she has a nap for an hour and a half to two hours. It's all gone wrong!! She is still feeding for the same amount of time, so I don't think it is a growth spurt, but trying to get her to have a nap is nearly impossible. She cries and cries. Luckily, DH and me are teachers so he is not at work at the moment. DH is currently sitting in her bedroom cuddling her. She is still not asleep after over an hour of cuddling.
After feeding her she is happy for about 20 mins then she starts screaming again. SO I wondered if it was wind or a tummy ache. I try burping her, but no wind comes out.
Not helping that MiL is staying for 2 weeks and my SiL fed on demand and shared a bed.
Sorry to ramble I need some help and support
