So I’m a first time mum my baby is 3 weeks old, for the last week he’s became so unsettled and it’s breaking my heart.
I’m running on empty sleeping an hour or two a night as he cries for hours any time he’s awake (unless he’s feeding).
The second he wakes up he cries, as soon as he has had a feed he cries, if we put him down he cries or try put him in his basket to sleep. I’ve tried rubbing his tummy in case it’s hurting him, giving him a warm bath, burping him and nothing seems to help.
I took him to my mum and dads yesterday and he was perfect, didn’t cry, slept well, was happy after his bottle, then the second we got home the crying started again. Same goes for my in laws, when we have visited them he is so content, they came over this morning and he didn’t make a sound and the second they left started crying.
I feel so defeated I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m starting to feel really low and in all honestly just wish I could disappear at the moment I’m so tired.
What can I do to help? I feel so useless
