my new boy, 8 days old, only cries at night and is only quiet when he's BF. My poor husband's roll is to soothe him after I nurse to give me a break. We have supplemented 1oz of formula, done the 5 S's of a happy baby, rocked in car seat, burped, changed him, skin to skin, and he still cries so much that he has made himself hoarse. He usually calms down around 5am. Any advice would be amazing!
Re: LO cries only at night
I learnt to manage my emotions ( with one of the babies i needed medication to help me do that) but it was a life saver.
Maybe (and again I could be way off) you might be having the same problem?
Hang in there though, it gets better as he grows up a few days older.
Also, some babies like to suck more then others, try a pacifier.
Also, if your frustrated, he's frustrated.
Have you swaddled him?
Do you do skin to skin?
Is he too hot, or too cold?
