What is wrong with me?

Question

Everytime I feed my baby today, she falls asleep for a few minutes then she wakes up crying.  I just want to scream at her make her stop. It sucks, she's been like this all day. I can't put her down without her freaking out. She is 3 weeks old

Answer

Skin to skin is my go to every time when baby is like this. Sometimes we think they want to nurse and they are just wanting confort. I would also recommend baby wearing. Otherwise just ride out the growth spurt it won't last forever mama.

Answer

be patience that happens ...it is temporarily ;) just enjoy ur baby cuz she/he won't be small for ever ;)

Answer

Same with My baby girl. Shs three weeks too. She hasnt slept well today.

Answer

Growth spurt and comfort feeding.  Give it about 2 days. Until then, post up and find a good series to watch on tv

Answer

Hang in there. It's temporary. Try to rub her back and tickle her feet to keep her awake during feedings. Nurse her whenever she seems hungry, because she probably is. She may be going through a growth spurt.

Answer

The first few weeks can be very hard, the sleep deprivation and recovery along with a fussy infant can turn us a bit crazy. If you do not have any help then It's even worse. I'm gonna give some probably unpopular but true advice. If it gets so bad that you want to scream at the baby or shake her just put her down in the crib and walk away for a few minutes until you can handle it. Screaming won't do any permanent harm to the baby, but you can. Sometimes taking 5 minutes to decompress does wonders.

Answer

You guys are amazing, thank you all soo much.  That makes me feel better.

Answer

The same thing just started with my 4 week old, it's been happening for about 3 days now... pretty frustrating

Answer

Hang in there, there are some extremely rough times as a mom.. just try and comfort her, maybe her belly is hurting or she's hungry. My son ate every hour for like 2 days when he was that age. I couldn't believe it lol

Answer

Like everyone has said, it'll change! My babe will be 11 weeks today and things are more consistent compared to the first few weeks. Thought I was going to lose my mind!!! Take deep breathes, find somewhere comfy to sit and I always tried to remind myself she's a baby who doesn't know what the heck is going on and trying to catch up with her brain and body growth.
 
I downloaded the wonder weeks app and it tells me of possible growth spurts which can mostly likely mean a fussy period so you get a little heads up. Check it out!

There will be good days and bad days! You're not alone 💜
