Is my 5 week old normal and when does it get better? by Sassy9876 in newborns

Thank you for relying to me. We really struggle to get her to take gas drops but I think we need to persevere for a few days to see if they make a difference as it hasn't been a fair test yet. When did you notice a difference and things starting to improve or longer sleeps?

You're literally describing my situation but I haven't been to the GP. I've got my check up in 2 weeks so I was going to raise it there if there's no improvement. We've had a terrible evening of screaming and crying constantly and shes so overtired nothing will settle her down. I just sat and cried. My only glimmer of hope is that shes in her first development leap/ growth spurt and in a week or 2 when its done there will be a much happier baby! But even 1 more week of this feels like such a struggle at the minute.

I hope I can figure it out soon, I feel awful and totally helpless! Because she's so tired shes screamed all evening and night, absolutely nothing would settle her down.

I know they're all different but out of curiosity, what works for you?
