She won't stop crying

[Scuba]

ok so i've been up for the past three hours with Grace, since she woke for a feed and have fed, changed, cuddled, winded but still she won't stop crying and i'm at a loss what to do.
i know some people say let them cry it out but i'm worried she'll give herself some sort of seizure if i let her keep crying - she gets so worked up.
i'm almost certain she not in pain or unwell as if i pick her up the crying stops almost at once.
any ideas or advice guys, i'm shattered x

Then cuddle and hold her. Her need for love and affection is no different than her need for food or a changed diaper. You wouldn't hold back those needs from her...

If she wants to be held, and you can, then hold her!

There is no evidence that holding your child makes them spoiled or too dependent on you especially in the first 3-4 months. I can post the study if you are interested. Consider wearing her. It's an easy way to cuddle and keep your hands free to do other thigns.

oh dear,you must be exhausted by now. dont have any advice to give as you have already attended all her basic needs....just keep holding her until she falls asleep.nothing wrongwith that! I totally agree with Margerle.
Good luck!

She wants some time with you. Babies need other things other than the obvious. She's very young and she might be scared/lonely and just needs to be held

I agree. Hold her and cuddle her. She may just want to feel secure and held by mommy.

maybe she is too warm. We just discovered that Bren does NOT like being too warm and will cry like he is being tortured.

Hope you managed to get some sleep in the end

If it happens again tonight maybe bring her into bed with you to sleep if you are happy to do that?

Kieran only sleeps at night in my bed, otherwise like your little girl he will just cry and cry even though I've done everything for him. Him sleeping in my bed means he gets to be close to me but I manage to get some sleep

do you have a baby swing? that could possibly let her drift off to sleep and give you some time to relax?
