Hi @yvonneb13

How is little one doing now?

My little boy is 2 now. I'm so glad I'm out of that phase. I really struggled with the newborn phase. At 4m, we found out he had severe reflux. With meds crying got a bit better but we still had "witching hour" in the evenings which went on FOREVER!!

Is baby suffering with sickness/reflux/constipating/trapped wind? I hope you're doing ok ❤️ xx

Hope your little one has stopped crying as much. My DS was a very fussy newborn and this went on until he was about 6 months old when he finally started to becoming a bit easier and now he's a pretty happy go lucky 3.5 year old!

Some things that helped me:

1. Pass the baby on to someone else when you can and get out of the house! I used to take short 20 minute walks around the block but it was so great to be out of the house! Invariably I would come back and he would still be crying but I would feel a bit more refreshed and ready to tackle the challenge.

2. The old trope of "it'll get easier as they get older" is true for most babies. Not much relief when you're in the thick of it but it will slowly get better.

3. Check with your GP. Perhaps you already have done but worth ruling out any underlying causes like allergies, tongue tie etc.

4. Some of my friends swore by cranial osteopathy, which is a gentle massage and manipulation of the baby's joints. I didn't do it though wish I had to see if it would make a difference! The reasoning is that being born causes alot of stress on the baby's body and they may have areas of discomfort or strain that we're not aware of.

5. I joined a great Facebook group called the Fussy Baby Support Site. It was just great knowing I wasn't the only one with a super fussy newborn!

Hope things are a bit easier for you now!
