Need some support

Ftm to an ivf baby who is 1 this month. She won’t sleep and spends every night inconsolable screaming and crying. Tired, teething and has a virus. She won’t take milk and calpol when she’s hysterical, nothing I do will make her calm down. 2.5 hours non stop crying tonight: I don’t know what to do. Uk based. Who can I turn to for help?

Hello Please contact your health visitor or midwife or GP. Reach out to friends and family for help if you need it as this can be really difficult x

Hey darling! I hope your well. This is completely normal for babies to do this. Have you tried swaddling her? My little sister used to do this all the way up until around 1 years old and the only way she used to be settled was by swaddling, and for the teething anbesol saved us! Also tip for the calpol, pop it into the top of a bottle lid and act like a dummy for your baby. With my baby going for a walk calms her down. I really hope this helps; I’m only a message away. Take care xx

The night time teething and winter virus is same here, horrendous for the past month. I find with my LO he takes the calpol better from a spoon, there are different flavours and brands you could try. My little one takes nurofen better, so you could try that, though GP advised not to use it all the time as it can dehydrate them. Talk to your health visitor for some advice. Take care

If in doubt, give them a bath! I find water to be a great reset ❤️
