Leap is rough!!! Anyone ekse?

Question

Anyone else going through the 5 week leap?!? Baby cries non stop between 3/4 -8 at night Only wants to be held... Falls asleep for 20 min then screams and cries again?! Ugh

Answer

Mine is 6 weeks today and she screamed so much this afternoon. I had to put her down to change my sons diaper and she screamed her head off and then fell asleep. I felt so bad but seriously she was driving me nuts. Then she would only sleep for 15-30 minutes unless I was holding her. Needless to say, I didn't get much done today.

Answer

Ohhh so that’s what I’m going through today! It’s been rough! I’m so exhausted. He’s not usually a cryer and he’s been crying and just non stop nursing. My supply can’t even keep up 😩😭

Answer

Yes! Officially started his today but have noticed the fussiness the past couple days. Definitely wants to be on the boob all the time and needs constant interaction and attention when awake. It's exhausting but cool to know that he is growing and learning. Not so cool when he wakes up and fusses all night...

Answer

My daughter has been up for 8 hours straight now, every time she starts to fade from nursing and I set her down she wakes up and fusses. I need to sleep 😩😩😩

Answer

That’s what happens to my 5 week old too when she’s overly tired so I try to get her for her sleep at 8pm

Answer

The 5 week leap was hard for us! The 7.5 week one has been much less eventful and actually really fun because he smiles, laughs, and coos now. Hang in there!

Answer

Yusss!! Mine started today around 2 and finally stopped and had been sleeping for about forty minutes now. It was a rough afternoon in our house.

Answer

Yes its awful!  Always keep in mind that it will pass.

Answer

Got a notification this morning that baby should be starting her first leap. So far it’s not bad but I’m just waiting anxiously.

Answer

Yes! Our poor kiddo the last few days was just screaming her head off and could not be consoled. I’m sure all the traveling didn’t help, along with a few more bottles that may have given her some gas. She’s finally back to normal today.
