I am I'm tears and I feel useless I've had my 3rd baby 3 weels ago
I was a great mum 2 my other children. But I am failing miserably here. My baby is beautiful and sweet and 90 percent of the time he's happy and feel like we're doing well. But every single night at 6-11 he doesn't stop crying no matter what we do. I breastfeed he cries . I burp him he cries I sway him rock him whatever he cries . Not a normal cry a heartwrenching absalutely kills me inside, cry. A cry that is inconsolable
Then he passes out then I try pop him in his bed and the crying starts again. We've tried everything. He will sleep.in a carrier on his dad amd still be unsettled but better then crying for hours and getting overtired. He does atleast sleep .But I've got an infected c section scar and can't use the carrier yet. I feel like a failure. My other babies never went through this and my boob would always soothe them. But every night he gets so worked up and upset.then a viscous circle of over tired. But he's gets all his naps. And he has the right amount wake windows. It's like A switch goes off and he's like a different baby. Please someone help. I'm worried about the long term affect on his brain. With all the constant upset and screaming . I'm also really down on myself as I can't seen to settle him 😔

Thankyou all so much for kind words and helpful advice. I am reading through all of the replies. Is so helpful to not feel alone x appreciate u all so much. Mentally feel better n he's been much better since some baby probiotics and also me being calm and accepting it. Last nightthe crying started and with the tips here etc I just stayed calm stopped trying to nurse him, as that was not helping. I am going to try pacifier tonight see if that helps x thank u everyone as this helps me stay positive

Sounds exactly like my daughter. She was lactose intolerant. Eventually worked out that we needed lactase from the chemist. Fed her a few drops in a teaspoon of breast milk before each feed. It's not your fault, it's just an issue some babies have. She grew out of it eventually. Give yourself a break & get as much support as possible, it must have been harrowing to deal with the exhaustion & (misplaced) guilt.
