New here and just need to unload a little...

So I've been lurking for a little while, so... hi!  Anyway, LO had a great day yesterday, actually took great naps throughout the day and slept for 2-4 hours at a time last night.  Today, however he's back to his old tricks... he was awake for about 6 hours straight this morning, only dozing very occassionally and for a few minutes at a time. 

Since he turned 2 weeks, DS has been quite cranky; he has very few, short periods of time where he is awake and happy.  Otherwise he is quite irritated and fussy.  We try everything to soothe him, and sometimes something will work for a few minutes, then he's cranky all over again.  Our Dr. suggested switching to a soy formula, which we have done.  I see very little difference so far, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm going through the EXACT same thing!!!  I actually just posted right before you.  I'm wondering if it might be a growth spurt??  If you Google "3 week growth spurt" you'll find info that seems to describe our babies.  Man oh man I hope this passes soon.

This shall pass ladies. Patience is key. I know it blows, but it will be over soon.

We went through this and were so scared that we had an unhappy, fussy baby...but once the bad week was over, he was great and so happy.  But we also had a 6 week growth spurt that was hell.  It passes and everything else is great!
