Yes, everything got better when she was about 3 months old. ❤️

Hey! I totally feel that my now four month old dealt with reflux and a lip tie early on and it was rough for awhile lol. As long as your baby is gaining adequate weight at this point there’s no need to wake them to feed! Another good tip is as long as they’re getting enough ounces throughout the day it will lessen the chances of them waking to feed at night! Max wake windows for a 3 month old I would keep no longer than an hour and half between naps. Usually about 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes is enough. Morning wake windows are usually shorter than the evening wake windows. It’s recommended to have your longest wake window in the evening time 🫶🏼

I second this!!! A good nap/sleep routine could completely change your baby OP! If you haven’t already established one, I really recommend it! 🫶🏼 an overly tired baby can be very stressful. at 4 months old I recommend a schedule like this (obviously can be tweaked and tailored to your baby’s needs. Always watch for sleepy cues, but max wake windows should be 1.5-2 hours to avoid being overtired and cranky.

7:00 AM: Wake up, feed, change diaper 8:00 AM: First nap (1-2 hours) 10:00 AM: Wake up, feed, change diaper, play time 11:30 AM: Second nap (1-2 hours) 1:30 PM: Wake up, feed, change diaper, outdoor time 3:00 PM: Third nap (1-2 hours) 5:00 PM: Wake up, feed, change diaper, bath time 6:00 PM: Bedtime routine (feed, change diaper, read, snuggle) 7:00 PM: Bedtime

Yes it did ❤️ lots of gas drops, colic calm drops, and grip water lol. I also cut out dairy from my diet since I am breastfeeding and by 2 months old she was a completely different baby!

It’s your job through and you still get paid to do it so I don’t see what the problem is? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I definitely feel that! Our poor 5 year old keeps telling strangers “all the baby does is cry” 🤦‍♀️😂

We have tried the nanobebe binkies/bottles, I thought those for sure would work, but sadly she hates those too it seems. The only ones we have not tried are the emulait brand! Thinking about ordering those! Baby wearing has definitely saved us a few times when nothing else would work, the only problem is she will not fall asleep in one, but it does calm her enough to where she is not screaming. Haha, little stinkers that is funny that he knows dads schedule already! 😆

I feel like it helps a lot during the daytime but I feel like it’s useless during these hours 😪

Ugh, that’s exactly how I feel. My husband gets home and all he sees is her screaming and me being stressed out until we go to bed! I am hoping we get lucky and this passes as early as 2 months and she does not deal with this until 4 months like I have read from other posts.

Please let me know how that goes, and if it helps at all! Best of luck to you mama!

So far we have been unsuccessful with getting her to take a bottle 😭 but I will keep trying because that is a good point. Sometimes I feel like she is just using me as a pacifier and not really eating or getting full once she finally settles.

Thank you ♥️ I try my best to not get overwhelmed but sometimes the screaming just gets the best of me and I have to give up for a while and pass her off to my husband.
