11 day old bubba cries cries cries very unsettled

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl!

I slept with DD on my chest for 3 weeks. And then only moved her to her cot at 6 weeks...even now she prefers to sleep in my arms.

Remember your tiny baby has come into a very large, scary world, and the only thing she knows are the loving arms of you and DH.

Its ok to hold your baby close if it feels good to both of you. If, however, you WANT her to go in her cot, you may have to coax her..and sorry, but that may involve crying (my DD still cries when I put her in the cot, so I tend to sleep with her in my bed).

As for the vomiting...it is normal for babies to vomit a bit (remember they have never used their stomachs before) but if it is worrying you and bubs isn't gaining weight, then maybe see your caregiver.

:yeahthat:

Its a big cold world out there, all she wants is you! She is very new and needs to be close to you right now. NO baby comes home from hospy and goes straight into a bassinette alone and goes off to sleep. Keep her head elevated to keep the wind up, rub her back in circles, maybe try a deep bath after the evening feed to relax her (and you!).

My little guy did the same thing. I was pulling my hair out, I couldn't handle it. On a visit to the Peadiatrician for his enlarged kidney I asked the Dr about the screaming etc. and he witnessed it himself while we were there. Turns out our little guy has reflux. He said try 1mm mylanta (normal) after every feed and if that doesn't improve much then give him Zantac (he gave me a script). Well the mylanta helped a bit but not much of an improvement. We tried the Zantac and although it has made a big difference he still chokes a bit after a feed and often chucks up, but at least he is not in any pain now.
Where before if he wasn't asleep or feeding he was screaming, it was horrible. Made me think what had I got myself in for.
I would not wait, see your GP as it could be reflux and the sooner you sort that out the happier everyone will be. Good luck.
