Already moms help please!

I don't know her to post this but I need help . Ima daughters a week old and she has never cried this much . She's basically Been crying 5 hours straight now only has taken a few minute breaks . I can't find anything wring with her . Not Hungry, not her diaper , it doesn't help when I hold her , I tried doing the leg thing for gas , she doesn't wanna be swaddled , I can't do anything to make her stop crying .. I'm getting so frustrated cause it's been 5 hours something has to be wrong . I've even had to set her down and walk away a few times cause I don't want to end up shaking her. Does anyone know what I can do to make her stop ?:(

I would take her down to a&e. Get a friend or family member over to help u so u can have a break and keep calm. U know your child. A&e wont mind. Its better to be safe than sorry x

My son was like that. At the time I called a nurse helpline and she told me to strip the baby and check its clothes for tags or loose threads that could be annoying, check if its hot or cold to touch and take its temperature to rule out fever, give it a nice relaxing bath even if it screams it might be enough to tire it out to sleep if its crying from being overtired, check if there's a position its more comfortable in ( colic babies sometimes stop crying when held slightly raised or completely upright, thats how she knew it was colic and the next day our dr confirmed it).

I would say colic too. My daughter once got like that, and never again. But I'm sure it was colic. Try gripe water.

She might be colicy. But yes don't shake her. You can call the hospital and ask them if there could be something wrong.
