Hi all,
I am a new mummy to a 5 week old ds. He's quite grumpy, cries a lot and is difficult to settle.
In the last five weeks I've pretty much brought everything and anything that may help. I was just wondering what products others have brought in 3 am desperation and did they or didn't they help.
So far we have tried:
Ewan the dream sheep: ok but settles me more than him.
Cocoonababy: easier for me to carry after c section but he doesn't seem to like it any more than his crib.
Ifacol/ gripe water ect: no noticeable difference.
Dr browns anti colic bottles: see above.
Bouncy chair: ok for ten mins but starts crying again.
Comfort milk as is ff fed: to thick for him to get out of the bottle.
Hundreds of baby books, gina ford, happiest baby on the block, baby whisperer ect: all made me feel like a crap mum as baby doesn't do aso the booksame say.
I've now booked him in for cranial osteopathy but dh thinks it's a snake oil. I'm still holding out that this one will be the miracle cure.
