Crying baby & can't soothe
Hi
Yesterday, last night and the night before my baby Regan cried for 2 hours solid at each time, it got to the point where I wondered whether I should take her to the hospital. Nothing I did soothed her, she won't take a pacifier and all I can do is hold her and pat her although this doesn't work. Last night I gave her a bath with lavender oil to help relax her but this still didn't work although during the bath she didn't cry. Admittedly today she is a lot more settled, but I'm at my wits-end as what to do and how to soothe her. I think maybe it's a case of her being over-tired or could it be that something I've eaten has gone through my breastmilk that has upset her. It seems to me that it could be that she's feeling some sort of discomfort. I've tried hot packs on her tummy in the hope that it would relieve the pain/discomfort (if there was any) to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced this where nothing they can do helps? I know there are probably no hard and fast answers and I just may have to ride it out with her, I guess I just need to talk about it and see if anyone else has gone through this as well.
