Why?!?!

Question

Why does he cry so much? I think I'm going crazy! He's diaper has been changed, he's been bathed, he's been fed! Why does he still cry?!?!

Answer

Babies are crazy you have to try so many different things. My baby calms down when I take him on a tour of the house or show him out the window, put him in the baby swing, sing to him, breastfeed him.. and when that doesn't help I give him to his dad and go take a long shower

Answer

Gas? Maybe he has a burp caught and just needs burped a lot. I had two like that.

Answer

Gas....Or just needs a cuddle or a walk around....a change of activity

Answer

Download The Wonder Weeks app. Worth the $2. For your sanity alone. It lets you understand what your baby is going through developmentally and why they're doing what they're doing.

Answer

Also, just so you don't get too down on yourself, read about the 4th trimester. It's normal for babies to be a hot mess for the first few weeks. Try to hang in there. My baby is 5 weeks old today and he just yesterday started to get his act together and slept much better last night

Answer

Could be gas...try extra burping. Or could be that he has to poop. Some babies have a hard time going #2. Could also be colic or acid reflux...does he cry non stop? Does he arch his back when he's crying?

Answer

One of my daycare babies has horrible reflux and we finally figured out that sleeping upright in a swing and adding infant cereal to his formula (which was switched to soy bc of all the tummy issues). His doctor recommended adding the cereal though so don't try that unless directed by your pediatrician.

Answer

My son got very fussy and I couldn't figure out why when he was 4 weeks old! Come to find out he has thrush and apparently thrush is very painful for them! You might check your baby's tongue and see if it has a thick coat of white on it

Answer

With my first she needed to be burped ALOT it could be that honey
