XP: Is this a growth spurt??

pamelamelanie924

DD is the definition of the perfect baby until the last couple days. She'll be 10 weeks tomorrow and the last few days all she has done is cry! Just during the day..at night she's fine. I change her, feed her, play with her, swaddle her, rock her..you name it, I've tried it and she still cries. The only time she seems somewhat pacified is when I'm holding her, but that's not always good enough. I thought maybe her tummy was hurting, so I've tried the mylicon drops and gripe water..it doesn't help. I've been feeding her BM during the day and formula at night. The last couple nights, she's slept 5-6 hour stretches, so I know she'll eat more during the day, but she acts like she's starving to death after a hour or so of eating. I don't know what to do & I don't know how to make her feel better. Has anyone else been going through this? I'm really hoping it's just a stage/growth spurt because I really want my happy baby back. If it is a growth spurt, how long does it last? TIA!

Growth spurt.

Formula not sitting well with her.

AR? Maybe. I've heard with reflux babies feel most comfortable either while eating or full... I think. If someone can confirm that for me, that'd be great.

And all babies go through stages whrre they just want to be held.

Hope this helps and y'all both get some relief soon.

How long has she been acting this way?
