It’s all a guessing game!

And also what is right! Sometimes my baby is happy in the bath, happy being charged, happy in his play gym. Other times he's screaming and I don't know what I did differently! I didn't realise before I had a baby how truly individual and just a mini human they are with bad days, good days etc

Story of my last 8 weeks, at this point i feel like he’ll be off to uni before I figure out if anything is actually wrong or if he’s just an unhappy baby 😂

I feel this!😂 we have tried everything, the gp thinks our little one might have cmpa so been trialling that formula but there is no difference😂 so I think I just have abit of a fussy baby!😂xx

In the same boat! It was the same with my daughter too and I found it so hard. Both have had tongue ties and tension and been colic/reflux and suffered with wind and hard to burp. My boy has an awful rash so might be cmpa so I am cutting dairy from my diet. We never found out anything for sure with my daughter and think it’ll be the same this time. But I do know it won’t be like this forever and they will outgrow it. It makes the newborn phase for me the hardest by far and I’ve decided it’s ok not to love it. As soon as my girl got to 3/4+ months she was improving and we were having more fun and even more so from 4/5/6 months onwards. I’d try not to spiral too much or find an exact label for what’s going on as it feels impossible to get an actual answer. Time is usually the thing that ends up helping and it will pass.

I had my son’s tongue tie cut a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was going to be the cure to all our problems but he’s still miserable, spitting up, cries during feeding. It’s relentless isn’t it 😫 Everyone is telling me to wait for the sweet 12 week mark but I feel like I’m wishing his life away x

Same here! My little boy is 9 weeks, breastfed, we’ve had his tongue tie cut, I’ve cut out dairy and I’m still none the wiser about why he cries during feeding and doesn’t sleep longer than an hour at night! It will pass! X

@Victoria Totally relatable, my poor partner has to deal with my crisis on a daily basis. It’s awful isn’t it! Because I’m a FTM I’m struggling to advocate for him, part of me wants to stomp into the doctors and not leave until they give me an answer but I know it’s not that easy. He’s gone from over eating to under eating, he’s spitting up after every feed even hours later and people around me keep telling me ‘babies spit up’. Struggling to accept that as an answer when I see so many babies giggling and smiling around and mine looks like he’s having the worst day every day 😭
