Fussy baby!

Baby is 5 months old next week and my god the constant fussiness is driving me insane!! He doesn’t want to be held, but doesn’t want to be put down. Is hungry but is refusing his bottles. Can roll one way but not the other so gets stuck and screams every time he’s put down on his play mat. Then the teething on top too! Sleep regression, 5 night wakes and crap naps all day!! When does it end 🫠 I feel like I spend all day just being cried at! Everyone says about making it through the newborn trenches but my god, this is such a hard stage!!!

Mine was like this for 2 weeks I cried holding him as he was crying, he had his jabs at the same time. All I can say is hope it passes quickly for you xx

I’m here for this too. It’s been horrendous now for about 3 weeks 😩😩😩

I was oddly thinking about this today. Mine is 5 months and 17 days and omg the fussiness and moaning drives me nuts 🤣 it’s non stop for me as well. Bring back the newborn stage any day of the week!!! I feel like this age is so so tough, haven’t slept in 5 months and 17 days either

@Sam me too with the sleep 😴 😣

I’m losing my mind with the constant fussy noises! My new catchphrase is “I just don’t know what you want” (I do, it’s sleep - but she just refuses to 🙃)

@Heidi I feel like all I say all day is “I don’t know what you want! I just don’t know what to do.” Glad its not just me 🥲

Thanks for the solidarity all! Honestly I don’t even know how long it’s been going on now. It feels like forever! But it could only be a week 😂 we had a week or two of sleeping through so everything felt much better then. But now everyday is a battle 🥲

Oh it’s so, so hard. Especially when my partner is like “it’s good for them to cry a little bit, she’ll get bored” or “just let her fuss, tone out the noise” - just not how it works when it’s 12 hours a day, pal! Haha I genuinely thought it was just me going through it and not managing. Thank God for this group and for posts like this! Hang in there, we’ve got this… Even when 1 week feels like 20, it’ll pass 💪

I’m right here with you. Only hope I can give you all is this is my second and my first was a delight from just over 6 months onwards. Once they can start trying new foods, playing with toys and being more of a human it gets easier and dare I say it fun. I hate this stage 😅 xx

@Heather this has given me the hope I need haha, how is it with 2 kids? We were gonna start trying again at the end of the year but this stage has thoroughly put me off for a hot sec 😂

@Heidi if I hear let him cry, let him be bored, just put him down any more times. I think I might lose my mind with my husband first 😂😂😂 just zero clue! Just spend all day fighting little one to sleep basically as that solves most of his issues. But he doesn’t want to sleep either 🥲 sooo hard!
