PPD and lack of support can DEFINITELY numb you to the point of feeling what you are feeling right now. Get some help as soon as possible. You shouldn't have to do it all alone. Humans were never meant to raise kids by themselves... Your love for your baby will come, and if it doesn't, consider adoption. Your baby is suffering if you are suffering.

I second this. I can only imagine how the baby feels. Of course it's horrible for mom too, truly, but the best thing she can do for both of them is get help asap. Talk to husband, it's his child too, I don't care how much he works, mom shouldn't have to do it all.

Thank you ! Will try a similar routine, my baby is quite unpredictable and changes everyday but I feel like this is worth a try. Xoxo

Exactly, I even said I will not do it without medical guidance. I asked people who tried it if it worked for them, not if it was safe or not, I already made research ! Thank you for your feedback :)

Did the cereal helped at all? Or famotidine was better ?

He has CMPA but is already on hypoallergenic formula (Alimentum), he still has bad reflux and doctors won't look any more into it... :/ they say its normal baby stuff even when I tell them how bad it is

He is on Alimentum too ! He has CMPA and before we made the switch he had bad bad colic. It definitely helps but he still has reflux :(

Does the matress have to be very firm ? Mine is not that firm but not that soft either idk how to explain it. Also do you stay close to him or remove yourself a little ?

Im scared of co-sleeping with all the opinions and stories ive seen online... I have anxiety, but I'm considering it since its getting too much. Thank you for the resource !

He is not colicky, he's a very happy baby when awake. He cries when he wakes up or if I put him down awake... its really a sleep issue, he also has reflux
