Please help- 2 days old wont stop crying

[Grainedesesame]

I came back from the hospital today with baby girl. Since the last couple of hour, she won’t stop crying. She doesn’t want to breastfeed, she doesn’t have temperature. I’ve changed her nappies, tried skin to skin, tried swaddling. I don’t know what to do anymore. My milk supply is good, the latch is normally good, she had poos and wee. Please help, I’m out of ideas and it break my heart

Ahhh love, that is so hard. It's really normal though, imagine how stressful and scary it must be for your wee baby to suddenly be in the big huge world after being snug in your womb this whole time! The crying doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong, just that she's freaked out and upset. Who could blame her!

Strip her down, and check that there aren't any little pieces of hair wrapped around her fingers or toes or in her nappy, then get your kit off too, put a towel down and have some skin to skin time.

Hold her, shhhh her, rock her, she just wants to know you're there.

The noise can be unbearable, it gives you that panicky feeling and kickstarts your fight or flight, so take deep breaths. It's OK to put her down for 5 minutes somewhere safe and walk away. Try earplugs to take the edge off while youre holding her.

Im up feeding my 9 month old.
I was still in hospital on night 2 but DD cried all night. I just cuddled her and did lots of skin to skin. She did settle bit only if she was held so I didn't get any sleep.
Have you got someone else with you to help?

Thank you both so much. It’s very comforting knowing it’s normal and that I’m not letting her down. My husband helps a lot and managed to calm her down now. Though I know she might be very hungry so I really hope I can breastfeed her once she is awake again. It is tough being a new mum and it’s only day 2!

I'm sat here breastfeeding my 9 week old. Hang on in there. The first few weeks are tough but things turn a corner around 6 weeks and you never look back.
Congratulations on your lovely baby. You will always be doing a better job than you think. They just want love and cuddles and loads of boob if you're breastfeeding.
This is my second baby and it is a lot easier than the first time round. It takes a while to adjust with your first and to stop panicking you're doing everything wrong.

We had this on day two too (now 8 weeks) ended up going to a&e it was that bad. She just wanted cuddles and to feed. Agree with pp skin to skin and try and feed. I found changing where I as helped both of us. We set up camp I. The living room, put a box set on and surrounded myself with snacks and treats and just tried to feed/cuddle for hours. Was tiring but better than being frustrated and stressed and uncomfortable in bed.
Things will improve? In just feeding my dd who has slept for 7 hours ( I'm sure it's a miracle and a one time thing but my god that sleep was good)

I'm less than 2 weeks ahead of you OP but can already say it does get better. Our little boy was very very teary the first few nights, as PP said, not surprising considering how their environment has changed! He has settled a lot now, cries when he is hungry but at least I know what settles him! I hope the same happens with your daughter over the next few weeks :) hang on in there and be kind to yourself OP, lots of snacks and I second the ear plugs x
