Hello. Sorry to hear that u have had a bad night. Could your LO maybe have wind or something? She may have had an upset tummy. Toby suffered with wind when he was little and would sometimes take a while to burp and we used Infacol on him before a feed which helped him a lot. Other than that im not sure what it could be apart from she may have her days and nights mixed up a little? We never had problems with Toby at night apart from when he was newborn he would take ages to bring his wind up but he didnt really cry or anything I just would not put him down until he bought his wind up as I didnt want him to be uncomfy. I hope someone else has better advice for you xx

Sorry to gear you are suffering. Molly has a lot of nights like this due to wind. If it is that, you could try keeping her upright for 20mins or so after her feeds, and maybe try something like gripe water or infacol.

It could be wind or something like the other girls suggested, Try infacol or gripe water you can pick these up from chemist or local supermarket.

Just noticed your from Hertfordshire, me too! Where abouts if you dont mind me asking?

It could be her growth spurt. They have one at 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Claire was super fussy during her spurts, really clingy and didn't want to be put down.

I remember those nights well hun... like the other girls suggest it can be wind... or a growth spurt?? Hopefully she sleeps better tonight for you hun xx

aww sounds like a bit of colic hun , you can try some gripe water or something like that , it may help her feel better ..also try burping her at every onz

Newborns just do that sometimes, they are still adjusting to the world. Try what the other girls suggest, and make sure to get some sleep whenever your LO does, at night and during the day (even if your dying to get stuff done around the house) Trust me, this was the only way I got through the first 2 months. It's the advice I kept getting, but its the advice that was the most helpful to me, because Kathryn had nothing wrong, she just didn't sleep well. And I know you've heard it before, but it really does get better
