Do you use Infacol or gripe water ? If not, these might work for her wind. Also, if you don't already swaddling her this may also help to settle her back to sleep.

Hope things get better for you soon.

when baby grows and settles more i think you will two. these early days are really tough hun, it will pass if it doesent then you need to see doc, but lots of us fond it hard it aint easy being a mum to a little baby who needs all the attention.

When my lo cried a lot in the early days i would cuddle and hold her with my ipod on to get a break from the noise, then i would put her down for a bit in safe place and get on with things and then check on her, she may be a bit colicky as its quite common i the evening.

When she gives something back and interacts more its nicer for you as you feel you are soothing them a bit,. like mine stops crying and tries to smile at me and i can distact her by talking or singing. it wont last forever every bad day is another day gone. you will have more good days than bad, the turning point for us was colief drops OMG i cant live without them she was like a different baby, she is 12 weeks and i stopped then in 1 day that eve she was back to crying and fussing with the bottle, went back on them and she was fine, might be worth a try 4 u. xxxxx

hth. xx in the evening come and have a chat with us take your mind of the crying xxxx

in the same situation other half works 12 hour night shift, jennifer is 3 weeks old on monday, labour was a complete shock to me, as first time mummy, cry for no reason. i have found that talking about everything helps, but if you think you need to go to doc then book an appointment.

the best piece of adcive i was given was to make sure you go out one a day even if it just to get a pint of milk even if you don't need milk.

It sounds like you're just finding it difficult to cope & I'm not suprised! I'd have a chat with your MW/HV to see if there's anything you xcan do to help settle LO.
DS can be the same......feeding is horrendous & today he's spent every waking hour screaming. I'm dreading tonight as he's been sleeping all day!

My dh is on 12 hour nights atm and before he leaves i get really tearful and worried about the night alone. dd is a monster at night,very windy and takes 2 hours to settle after a feed so i end up getting really stressed and upset.

I start getting tearful as soon as dd starts crying, even tho I know its just cuz she's hungry to start with, but I know she'll cry for ages after the feed and I won't get much sleep! Is this the start of PND? Should I speak to the doctor? dd is 3 weeks old.
