newborn and fussy

[tbyrd_88]

I had my son on the 16th and I feel like I don't know what to do when he cries, especially at night into the early mornings.  It's 2:48am and he fussy and won't sleep.  Idk what to do, when his pacifier falls out his mouth he gets so upset he starts kicking, waving his arms around, and turns red. Please someone help is there anything I can do. I feel so alone, I'm a first time mom and I feel like I'm doing something wrong.  I just want to cry

I used a womb sounds bear. My youngest wouldn't sleep in a silent or really quiet house.

Try laying him on your chest so he can hear your heartbeat. He was so use to hearing yours for 9 months.  It's a soothing sound. Sometimes that's all it took for my daughter to calm down.

Definitely recommend "Happiest Baby On The Block" dvd! For a quick shot at his techniques, go to YouTube and look up "How to calm a crying baby in 5 second".

After checking the basics, I would hold him and gently massage his stomach,  it maybe gas.

My son was the same when he was hungry.Do you breastfeed??? Try feeding him when he cries if he doesn't want the pacifier (i was never able to use one my son never liked them) is because he is hungry or he have some gas!!!

My daughter did the same thing when she was born. I walked miles through our house pacing back and forth bouncing and swinging and trying to do anything to get her to stop crying while I cried. It is pretty miserable and I did feel pretty helpless. I had a wonderful nurse at my pediatricians office that told me that for some reason 6 weeks is a magic number. That I just needed to hang in there and around 6 weeks she did just what the nurse said. She said it's like an adjustment period for newborns and there's really not much to do. Good luck. The first one is uncharted territory.

Maybe he has colic?
Have you tried gripe water?
Once I started giving my baby gripe water he hasn't been as fussy
Good luck

I'm sure your doing a wonderful job! It can be tough! If he is not wet,hungry or cold, maybe he is lonely and needs your love. Just being there for him can reassure him... As he gets bigger he will cry less, he is just trying to get into a routine.

Best advice I got was too keep in mind that crying is the only communication skills they've got at the moment and at this age it's all needs driven. Go back to basics and check if baby is warm, dry and full. If all those are met start using all your tricks, swaddling, pacifier, walking around in circles, rocking, singing, etc etc. And remember what worked one day may not work the next and its not a reflection of you and your parenting!

Try swaddling.  I really liked the techniques used in "happiest baby on the block." You can get the dvd on Amazon for less than $10. If you are nursing, try feeding your baby again from the side he ate from last to get the hind milk.
