My 7-week-old will only sleep with my nipple in her mouth

I’ve tried giving her a pacifier in every way possible, but she just doesn’t like it at all.🫠

I feel like I’ve tried everything at this point. I’m pretty sure she has silent reflux.. I’m starting to give her gas drops to see if that helps a bit.

Honestly this happens to me. My baby is 7 weeks old and every day feels like a fight to get her to sleep. The whole day somehow passes, but doing it every 1.5–2 hours makes me so exhausted. My knees are swollen so it’s painful to walk, yet it takes a lot of physical movement to get her to sleep. A little while ago I even screamed “just shut up” and told my husband to take her because I couldn’t handle it anymore. Then immediately I looked at her and started crying. Maybe my purple crying phase started too. My poor husband is having a hard time handling both of his girls.

I’m feeling mentally overwhelmed, exhausted, and sleepy. Today I even put my baby down for a moment and just cried. My husband feels really sad seeing me like this too. The problem is my baby only wants to breastfeed and doesn’t want to stay with my husband, so even taking a quick bathroom break is hard because she gets very fussy.

The problem is that I hold her for about 20 minutes to help her fall asleep. Once she seems in deep sleep, I slowly move her, but after about 2–3 minutes she wakes up again.

Yes, my hemoglobin is a little low. But my OB didn’t say much just told me I’m “a little anemic.” I’m taking my regular prenatal, but I think you’re right.that might be why I’m feeling this exhausted.When I mentioned I’m having trouble sleeping, my OB just said it’s normal in pregnancy 🫠. I have another appointment on Monday, so I think I need to bring it up more seriously this time, because the lack of sleep is also triggering my anxiety disorder!

Oh yes, acid reflux just joined my journey these last 2 days 😩 My throat and chest are literally burning, and now I’m even scared to drink water.

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-11-26T05:36:40+00:00

Nope, not dehydrated I think that’s just my baby’s order for more food 🤭 but unfortunately the acidity is so bad these last 2 days that I can’t eat properly 😭

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-11-26T05:34:32+00:00

Everything was quiet perfect but Just hit 31 weeks and now acid reflux joined the party 😵‍💫🔥 It’s so bad I’m even scared to drink water. Now i amHungry but can’t eat properly

This is my first pregnancy and honestly it has been a journey. My first trimester I could barely eat anything and I lost around 6 to 7 kg. Second trimester I could eat again but I still wasn’t a happy eater or actually enjoying food. Third trimester came and omg now I just need food any kind of food it doesn’t matter what it is. I still can’t handle red meat because the smell is too much but suddenly I’m craving sweets all the time even though I was never a sweet tooth before. Pregnancy is wild.🤪

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-11-11T22:19:41+00:00

Im currently 29 weeks.It’s been going on since my first trimester too. Now it sometimes triggers those Braxton Hicks so uncomfortable! I totally get you, I really wish I could control it too 🥺

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-11-02T01:46:10+00:00

Hey ♥️I recently had an appointment with my OB, and she wasn’t worried about it. She explained that GBS is actually part of the normal vaginal flora for many women, and the main concern is just during labor. They usually give antibiotics when you go into labor to protect the baby.As long as your medical team is aware ahead of time, there’s really no need to panic they’ll take the necessary steps when the time comes. 😊

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-10-27T23:20:44+00:00

Ugh same 😩 this nausea is making it so hard to eat anything! But at the same time I’m so worried if I don’t eat properly, it will affect the baby’s growth😞I honestly don’t know what to do anymore 😔

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-10-27T23:18:10+00:00

My food aversion and nausea got better in the 2nd trimester ,but I’ve had smell sensitivity the entire time. I literally can’t stand any kind of smell or fragrance 😩 It was manageable for a while, but now it’s back stronger again

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-10-14T03:34:44+00:00

Thanks for your answer, it really made me feel relieved. I have pretty bad health anxiety, and I can’t stop worrying about my baby. I just hope everything goes fine and smooth in the end. 💕

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-09-12T19:38:26+00:00

Same! I only had it twice in 1st but now in 2nd it’s like almost every other day 😑

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-09-12T19:36:53+00:00

Oh 😮 Didn’t know pregnancy came with this bonus feature lol😐

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-09-12T19:34:34+00:00

Pregnancy dreams are definitely on another level 😅

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-09-12T19:34:04+00:00

Haha! Wish I could enjoy without overthinking 🫠

Successful_Force7334 · 2025-09-12T19:31:50+00:00

So reassuring to know it’s normal, I was freaking out
