Hugs hon. I know how upsetting it is with a baby screaming in your ear. AFter an hour or so you feel yourself winding up inside and getting very frustrated. This affects how you hold and talk to bub, which they sense, and therefore don't relax either (just to make things even more difficult for us mums!). I have a very grumpy DS that seems to have tired signs almost all the time. I do the usual, walking, patting, singing, shushing, wrapping tightly etc. DH just puts him down and holds him still until he shuts up, which is usually alot quicker than with me! Perhaps some tiny controlled crying, which one poster mentioned, put bub in bed, go out for a few minutes to let her cry, then sneak back in and see if she has quietened, or is just whimpering.

Good luck again. Do you have support available? Get a friend, relative to spend some time holding bubs to give you a break and allow your batteries to recharge. DHs are great, but after a few hours of juggling a crying baby, the both of you will be exhausted.
