Is this colic?

Being new to this all I don't really know what's what's but our 8 week old has become very cry-y. She feeds and as soon as I put her down she screams. Only feeding passives her.

It's not a growth spurt, they seem different, more clustered during evening hours. This is throughout the day. Is this colic or has she sussed that if she cries she gets cuddles and booby?

She feeds then falls asleep on me but if I move her to the cot she wakes and screams...she still sleeps through the night from about 11pm ish...bit confused!

Colic tends to come with a high pitched scream that is persistent regardless of what you do. Red faced, frantic, loud crying.

As her crying stops once you feed her I would be more likely to think its because shes got what she wants rather than colic.

I agree cupcake . Colic is mad red faced screaming whatever you do. This sounds like hunger and comfort . Lucky you having a baby who wants cuddles . Although it is hard .My babies are 6 &9!

You'll definitely know when it's colic. Hours,days, weeks of crying with no real idea of how to soothe your child. Baby just wants comfort, she's only 8 weeks old so not surprising, enjoy while you can, before you know it she'll be a back chatting moody teenager who is too cool for cuddles with mummy!
