I have taken him to 8 different pediatricians, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. Not even reflux. We have tried numerous formulas, we chose the one he likes the most and he’s thankfully thriving physically.

I’m so upset right now. My baby is very difficult. He’s 3 month old and i haven’t been out of the house since he was born (except from morning walks while he’s asleep in a sling. Also, morning is the only time he is not crying while baby wearing). I haven’t seen my friends or anyone because he is impossible to be outside. People told me it will get better after 6 weeks. Then it was 8 weeks, then it was 3 months but still no change. All the other babies i know have begun to sleep through the night and they are happy to be outside, looking around. Only my baby is still acting like a 3 week old colicky newborn. I feel left behind because my mom friends have just moved on to their next milestones while I’m stuck in the same circle over and over again. I have accepted that it will never get better and since then my usual days became just dull unhappy hours divided by feeding times. At least I’m not disappointed any more. I was so excited about everything we could do together but now i just look forward to his sleep hours, which are short because he still eats every 2.5- 3 hours day or night. He’s formula fed by the way. I thought the only advantage of formula feeding was that they go a bit longer without eating. I don’t know why I’m writing this, I’m just exhausted and sad that after everything i’ve been through, including late term pregnancy loss i still get everything the hard way. I just can not have a break. I wanted to be happy and i really tried but it’s not meant for me as I see.

I saw a psychiatrist and i don’t have ppd. Just an unhappy baby. I prefer to stay anonymous, all i want is to share it with people who won’t judge
