Anyone else have a nightmare baby?

Question

Mine is 10 weeks and still colicky, has a bad latch, is a bad sucker, a bad sleeper and has tummy issues 😩😩😩 We’ve seen his doctor, an IBCLC, a chiropractor and a cranial sacral therapist. 
I’m just venting, this kid is a nightmare. Yes I know he’ll be worth the trouble. Yes I love him, but every day I find myself wondering why on earth I decided to have a baby. It’s been HORRIBLE. 
Anyone else having troubles and wishing their baby would hurry up and turn 6 months old already? It’s ok to feel this way. You aren’t a bad mother and you aren’t alone. Some newborn experiences are just awful.

Answer

My first was a mess until the 8-10 week mark. The only reason it got better was that I stopped breastfeeding and put him on nutramigen. He had silent reflux and was put in Zantac at 3 weeks. Then at 6 weeks blood in the stool (if your baby’s poop looks at all mucousy take it to be tested for blood.) I also tried to cut dairy for 5 weeks and there was still blood. The first bottle of nutramigen I saw improvement: after 2 days a different kid.  Of course I wish I could have continued to breast feed, and I know you are working hard for your baby to do the same. But it’s always an option if you cannot figure out what is making him so miserable.

I’m having a lot of the same....time is what it takes, and on top of all that, he’s teething at 2 months!🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

It will get better! When you have a fussy babe (I do too) the first few months are so so so hard!!! You got this momma!!

Answer

I feel you momma! Mine’s gassy so there’s a lot of fussing & sleep crying. She also has a touch of silent reflux and chokes on saliva/milk.. violent hiccups that make it difficult to fall asleep.. it’ll all slowly get better: this too shall pass! My 1st was such a difficult baby the 1st year but the easiest toddler. There is hope.. haha

Answer

I’m in the same boat. My son is 11 weeks tomorrow and all he does is cry, that’s all he’s been doing since 3 weeks. I’m exhausted to say the least. And I’m with you, just wishing he was older and over this because it’s honestly horrible.

Answer

Have you had your baby checked for tongue and lip ties? Even the smallest ties can cause so many colic issues and it’s definitely having revised.

Answer

My baby was colicky till 8.5 weeks and crosses finger she hasnt done it in a while now. It was horrible, yes, there are times I am just so helpless. Hopefully yours will get better soon. Also, I started incorporating routines and she is less likely to feel confused all the time, it kinda help..

Answer

Girl. poor you. Seriously!! It’s rough! My little girl still has tummy issues at 11 weeks. But the first 6-8 weeks were worse. She cried every night like clockwork from 7-11pm. I also have a toddler so I was stressed to the max. She was a good eater tho, so no issues there. 
So sorry 😰 I am hoping my girl gets to 6 months quick too!!’ Lol
