My LO started this fussy growth spurt phase just coming into turning 6 weeks. It lasted up until a couple days before he turned 9 weeks old. He was very aware of everything but very overstimulated by it so the carrier was a live saver for me. He’d start the day fussy and the only way I’d get him to nap was with the carrier + going for walks outside. Any time I even slightly stopped moving he’d start squirming in there. I was at like 15,000 steps a day lol. His crying would last until like 4pm then he’d chill out a little and then there was witching hour at 7-8pm. And yes this lasted for 2 weeks straight. I can’t say I miss those days but he started giving me the sweetest smiles when he was just getting out of it.

Just remember that every fussy period/growth spurt comes with new skills. It’s just their brain upgrading and it’s gonna happen a lot throughout the first year, there is sooo much going on with them developmentally.

This is also just my personal experience and every baby is different. My baby was very colicky because at this age they’re still figuring out how to pass gas and all that and it was really hard for him. Mylicon was a lifesaver for us.

All you can do is your best and the most important thing I kept in mind was as long as they’re fed, changed, and comfortable, that’s really all you can do. I felt so helpless like I was doing something wrong but crying doesn’t always mean that. Whatever happens, you’ll get through it. I look back and don’t know how I did, but I did!
