I dont know what else to do.

Paul has been awake and crying since 9:30. It's now midnight. After 10 minutes DH said he wasnt feeling well and went to bed. I've tried everything and then start over again. He will take a breast about every half hour but feeds for less than five minutes. I dont know what else to do. I'm about to put him next to DH and lock myself in the bathroom

Re: I dont know what else to do.

  • Poor baby and poor mama. Shame on DH. Sometimes these little babies just cry. Take a few minutes to yourself every hour. The nonstop crying is exhausting. Hugs to you. I hope he's able to settle soon.

  • DD was doing the same thing earlier. I swaddled her and put her in the swing with the white noise machine next to her ear and the paci in her mouth. It took a few tries but finally worked. Make sure to take a break if you need it. Good luck!!

  • It may sound silly but try taking him in the shower. When my lil man gets like that the water and skin to skin seems to help calm him

    I was going to say to try taking him in the bathroom with the shower running. When all else fails, I put DD in her carseat in the bathroom with the shower running and the fan on. The sound of the water running really seems to calm her down within about 5 minutes. She has actually spent several whole nights sitting in the bathroom with the shower on. I know it's a waste of water, but when we're having nights like yours, it is worth it in my book! Good luck, I'll be thinking of you!!

     

  • I second the shower Kenzie doesn't really like baths but a warm shower always calms her down or if all else fails a walk outside in the sling Usually puts her to sleep. I hope you guys get some rest soon!!

  • Running the vacuum works for us! I also vote for gripe water.

     
  • Ditto to everyone else's suggestions!!

  • I'd open this thread, hand the baby to dh, tell him to read this, and go to sleep.
