8 week old miserable when awake

[StarSB1712]

My almost 8 week old is pretty miserable when she’s awake. If she’s feeding she’s fine, she’s FF. If we are lucky we get about 10 minutes of interaction/smiles/curious looks around etc but it just turns into crying soon after and the only thing that makes it better is when she sleeps.

She absolutely hates time on her mat too, the minute we place her on her playmat to show her anything or play she cries but doesn’t mind lying flat on her back on the bed. She interacts a little better there.

I limit her wake windows to suit her age group but sometimes that feels unavoidable if we go out etc. it’s getting to the point where I feel I don’t want to take her places as I know she’ll just scream.
she’s my second DD and I do think my first was quite fussy too but I think you forget…

Any advice or experience if this?

Can I ask which milk she’s on @StarSB1712 and which ones you’ve tried so far?

She was on Kendmil when she was born but was constipated and had really smelly wind so we changed her to Hipp Organic. She was very refluxly so we put her on Hipp Anti Reflux. They’re the only milks weve tried.
in my head I have questioned a milk allergy as her poos can range in texture but for the most part are normal.
I just don’t know where the increased crying has come from as it’s definitely got worse. Could it be a milk allergy?

I think it could be CMPA. I have it and if I’m having a reaction I’m truly miserable.

Have a read of this from Allergy UK and see if any of the symptoms sound familiar
