4mo never stops whinging

[CrazyCatMom]

Exactly that really.

My LO has always been a high needs baby. Colic, reflux etc. Now he is through the worst of that but just will not stop whinging.

It’s not proper crying, just whiney noises. He is fed, clean, dry, has napped etc but I can’t put him down at all without him starting to grizzle and whine. Have tried baby bouncer, play gym, high chair, dancing fruit, CBeebies, music etc and he just will not be quiet. He even whinges with his dummy in 😔

honestly I’m at the point where I’m ready to just leave him (safe) to whine so I can have a quiet cup of tea in the other room. It doesn’t matter whether he is on my lap or not he is just constantly grizzling

he is waking every 2 hours through the night and won’t go back to sleep without a feed (EBF so I am doing all get ups)

I’m absolutely exhausted 😖 just needed to rant

4 months can be a tricky time - mine are much older now but isn't 4 months a peak for sleep regression? And also possibly starting to teeth? If you could fast forward a month or two I suspect things will be much better. Sometimes trying lots of different things makes them more grizzly! It sounds like he is happy when you're holding him so capitalise on that with slings when you can. But if he isn't crying; and you're sure he's in a safe place, those 5 minutes for a cup of tea sounds like it might save your sanity! My second child wouldn't sleep for more than 2.5 hours as a baby. I tried to make the bfing as easy as possible for me - we didn't co sleep but his crib was right next to me and I had as little moving to do as possible during the night. Is there any point when you can catch up on some sleep, your dp must be able to take him at some point? I think you're right in the storm just now and it will improve. Probably a bit longer before they can develop a love of cbeebies but that will give you a half hour of peace too.
