She’s killing me....
My baby was 1 month this past Saturday. She is a terror. She is colicky, has reflux, and seems to just hate life in general. I know she’s too young to understand, but all she does is SCREAM. She screams if i change her clothes, change her diaper, give her a bath, put her in her car seat, put her in her swing or crib; pretty much everything I do. If she isn’t sleeping or eating, she is screaming. Everyone thinks it’s funny bc I had such an “easy pregnancy.” If you call 3 days of induced labor and an emergency c-Section an easy pregnancy. She is on reflux meds, gas meds, anti colic formula, vitamin D and probiotics, along with breast milk. I’ve cut everything out of my diet and nothing changes. Her ped said I just have to wait for her to out grow it, but I’m losing my sanity. I haven’t slept in days, haven’t eaten or showered in over 24 hours. But for some reason she never screams for my mom. I feel like she’s the parent in this situation. At a month old she’s already slept over my moms 3 or 4 times, because I’m balling my eyes out, or I’m driving over there for her to calm her down. I feel like a failure. I can’t even soothe my own child. My husband cries that he misses me bc we haven’t slept in the same room or bed in the last month, we have to take shift la on the couch bc she won’t sleep anywhere but her swing in the living room. Does anyone please have any advice as to how I can handle this that may have been through something similar? I was convinced that she was going to be a great baby when I was pregnant and man was I wrong. I think that’s what makes this that much more frustrating. Maybe it’s PP but I honestly feel like having her was a mistake. But she’s so cute just looking at her little face I know i love her more than life itself. I just don’t know what to do. I want to pack her up, take her places. Show her off - but she’s so bad I can’t leave the house alone with her without a chaperone 😭😭😭 someone please tell me this will get better.
