    Pleeeeease tell me it gets better?

    So my ds is now almost 6 weeks old. I don't know what is going in but e has not had a day sleep for TWO DAYS! Not more than 5 minutes! He is sleeping great at night, no problems at all but during the day he just seems agitated and uncomfortable, cries a lot and feeds constantly. Will fall asleep on the boob but won't sleep anywhere, even upright on our chests. Is this a growth spurt? Reflux? Colic? Or, (please no!) NORMAL????

    My dd never did this. I have turned into an angry inpatient mummy with my poor dd because I simply cannot put down my son! He's not even happy in the ergo, pram or capsule. I'm completely at a loss to what to do

    Around 5 weeks is a wonder week so my guess is that could be the culprit - some kids seem to suffer more than others. hope things improve soon

    It's very normal? I recommend getting a wrap or sling to wear him in - probably more comfy for him than the ergo.

    I found 6-8 weeks to be the hardest with DD

    I found weeks 5-7 really hard with both my kids. I found just getting out of the house made it better. Even if ds cried in the sling the whole time, it's less intense in the open air.
