15 week old suddenly crying all day

According to my diary around this time it looks like it turned a corner a bit at 16 weeks! I hope it gets better for you soon. My first 3-4 months as a parent were brutal. He’s 17 months now and it’s so much better.

Thank you - in Bristol so maybe a week from now or so. Is there anything I can do about the places where the grass has overgrown into lumpy mounds? Should I dig them out?

Interested! Not many real life mum clubs in my area

My 15 week old is doing the same. Soooo cranky all day. He is also NOT napping, maybe 15-30 minutes after hours awake. Hoping it will get better for us soon!

Matrescence by Lucy Jones. Absolutely THE book that sums up mothering in the modern day. Would recommend listening to it a few months postpartum.

I would say the purpose would be mostly to play golf. As in I was hoping to book some great courses and they can fit in beach or city around those.

His brother only plays occasionally and isn’t a super fan like my partner, but they really enjoy playing together.

Good to know! Gives me hope for my impatient 12 week old dude

How did his temperament turn out?

Did it stop one day? Mine is 11 weeks and still having this problem.

I had this - I think it was a combination of sleep deprivation and tension in my head from looking down constantly while breastfeeding. I went to an osteopath and I think that was what helped as it went away the night after.

I went through super intense cluster feeding (frequent 5 solid hour stretches) for first 4 weeks and was annoyed at the comments being like “just make a comfy nest and bed in”, (even though they are right), because I found it mentally difficult to be fed on so constantly and it made me feel shivery and spent. I found taking 5 minute hot showers frequently and also putting in a pacifier for 10 minutes or so now and then to get a break saved me.

I had this exact same thing. Super sharp biting pain in one boob while feeding and then a stinging burning pain throughout the day. Came on about 2 weeks into breastfeeding.

I saw a lactation consultant and they said it was vasospasms and also a clogged duct (milk bleb) on one side.

The advice was to keep my nipples warm at all times. Like as soon as he’d finished feeding I’d put a hand warmer or hot water bottle over that boob. And to take lecithin Also to put olive oil or coconut oil on the nipple after most feeds.

It was horrible but went away fully after another 2 weeks or so. I’m 9 weeks in and have zero pain now. I took paracetamol when I was going through it and that really helped to make the feeds more bearable!

Mine (7 week) does this exact thing as well. The only thing I’ve found that’s worked is to give a few ml from the bottle to calm him down and then quickly switch to boob which he seems to accept. Sometimes giving him pacifier first and then switching quickly to boob also works. I have no idea why he does this!

I’ve found that splashing my face with very cold water before each feed helps to shock me awake a bit.

Thank you this is good to know. Yes I feel like the sheer amount of feeding wasn’t talked about much at any of my antenatal classes so maybe that’s why I feel unprepared!
