Did your newborn cry a lot? Was he/she always fussy?

My five week old daughter cried a lot too. My doctor suggested thefussybabysite.com and that is suppose to be able to answer a lot of questions so maybe it will help you. With my daughter she would be up crying a lot too. And she did pacify at the a lot. I don't really remember how i made it through it i was so sleep deprived its all a fuzzy memory now. I switched to pumping my milk and feeding it to her with a bottle at 3 wks. So i could get more of a break and i could monitor her feeding a bit better and could tell what was pacifying and when she was actually drinking. Does she seem gy? Is she jerking her feet a lot when she cries? Maybe try burping her more often? If she doesn't get that burp out it can cause gas pains and make them fussy that was a huge problem with my daughter. We have her on formula now (make sure when you do you find a good formula and switch slowly to it, if you switch over without weening her it could be harsh on there tummy) and she is doing better now that we have her on a better formula. We also found out she had eczema and that was making her fussy because it itched and burned and we had to buy certain bath wash and lotion(aveeno and aquaphor). Is her all red? Could it be a diaper rash? Also my daughter liked to be walked a lot. It seemed to calm her down more. It wears you down i know but it worked and put her to sleep sometimes. Hopefully you will find something that works. ANd when you do I was told to stick with it. If you switch things a lot it could be confusing for them.. Hope I helped. And definitely check out the site. its free. if it is gas you can try mylicon gas drops. Also babies do go through a growth spurt at around 3 wks so if its a recent development she may be going through it early. they also go through one at around 6 wks, 3 months and 6 months. (according to the packet i got from a program we have called WIC, not sure if its something you have where your from, they help pregnant women through pregnancy and after birth and give you checks to help with food and formula).
