Send Help! .....and a shot of whiskey😂

First of all, I want to say to the mommas out there who have fussy, upset babies... y’all are angels. I don’t know how you do it.

My 11 week old was slightly fussy yesterday, but nothing I couldn’t handle. She’d still take some naps and quiet down.

Today.... today has been rough. She typically sleeps all night long, however she woke up last night at 1:30am. Went back to sleep, and woke up at 6am.

Since 6 this morning she has been crying (it’s 1:30pm now). She’s maybe had a total of an hour’s sleep broken up across the day, when she usually sleeps the majority of the day.

I tried playing with her, rocking her, video chatting family, TV, music, singing, feeding, diaper changes.... my fiancé on his lunch break today came home and told me to give her Tylenol (normally, wouldn’t do this unless I knew it was needed but I wanted to avoid adding a fight with him on top of a screaming baby & I knew it’d be okay). Tylenol didn’t help, btw.

I finally, FINALLY got her to stop crying and go to sleep. Even managed to get her in her swing without waking her up (I love my baby cuddles, but this momma needs a break).

Is there anything I can do to calm her down that I haven’t done? Am I missing something that may be hurting her?!

She’s typically quiet, happy, and talkative. She’s been the exact opposite today.
