Struggling with Nighttime Crying + Let’s Arrange A Meet-up!

Salaam Mamas, I hope you’re all doing well! My little one, Yusuf, is 6 weeks old now, and while I’m loving all the newborn cuddles, the nights have been tough. He’s been crying a lot in the evenings, and I’m starting to think he might be colic. I’ve tried all the usual things- burping, tummy massages, bicycle legs, and whilst these work at times, some nights nothing seems to settle him. Any tips or things that worked for your babies? Would love to hear what helped! Also, I’d love to start getting out more and meeting other mums. I moved to Melbourne in 2024 so still fairly new to the city, as I was born and raised in London. If anyone is up for a play date let me know! Would be lovely to connect and get some fresh air together. I was thinking that we could also do a group meet-up if lots of us are keen! Looking forward to hearing from you all.

My oldest was like this for the first 8 weeks or so from memory. And it only happened at night too between 6-9pm I was able to break some of the crying up with feeds, but nothing worked. She was awake throughout this time too, for me nothing worked so no tips besides just don’t stress it doesn’t last forever. I’ve had to put her down and walk away and some nights I’ve cried cause it’s overwhelming. My second was on and off crying but she was fine with being just held, but nothing compared to the first. It does get better, it doesn’t feel like it will now but it does. Would love to catch up depending on where everyone lives.

My daughter was like that also, she’s only now started settling a lot more at 3 months old. I tried infants friend, infacol and biogaia probiotic and they all seemed to help a little bit but what helped her the most was gripe water! I would say they’re worth a shot and see what works best for your bub and if there’s any improvements. It’s so hard going through that and it feels like it will never end but inshallah it will pass soon. May Allah give you strength ❤️ Also I would love to organise a meet up sometime soon, maybe before Ramadan?

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, really helps to hear that this phase doesn’t last forever! I totally get what you mean about feeling overwhelmed; I’ve had a few moments like that too. I’d love to catch up as well, and before Ramadhan would be ideal! Let’s see if we can organise something depending on where everyone is based. Looking forward to meeting up soon, in sha’Allah ♥️
