My baby is 3weeks old. She crys all the time. The doc said theres nothing wrong. Is it normal?

Answer 1

1st I'm so sorry, I know it's hard

2nd, Get another doctor, this is not normal!

3rd, babies cry for a reason, there is something wrong. Heis too young to try and minipulate you.

4th get a sling, carrier or wrap--babies who are held more, cry less (check out this website for make your own, no sew wrap http://www.wearyourbaby.com/ I made one for $5 and LOVE IT)

5th does your baby have signs of reflux?

Even if he isn't spitting up he might have silent reflux http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/gerdinfant/index.htm which some doctors won't treat--if your doctor won't--find another one, there is no reason for your baby to suffer!

If so elimanating certian foods from your diet if you're breastfeeding (I can't have milk, eggs, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflour, chocolate, spicy foods, carbonated bevs, prenatal vitamins, the list goes on LOL) or changing formulas (under a pediatricians cares care) might help.

Well, first, babies cry a lot. However, if the doc says nothing is wrong,It could be cholic. If she cries and you try to comfort her, but she continues to cry, that points to cholic. There is no known cause or cure for cholic, the baby just outgrows it and you suffer. Also, try pushing her legs inward towards her stomach. If that calms her down, she has gas. There are gas drops that are safe for all ages---like myelicon. If you are using powdered formula, try switching to premixed. With powder, sometimes it doesn't dissolve and constipates the baby. Finally, if you are breastfeeding, make note of what you are eating. Whatever you eat, your baby eats. You may be eating something to cause her to get an upset stomach. If you think she is constipated, you can do a few things: take a thermometer, put vaseline on it, and insert it about half an inch into her anus. Hold it there for a few minutes until she has a bowel movement. Or try some prune juice mixed in with her formula.

Answer 3

Get a second opinion first of all! Your baby may have reflux. Yes this crying could be normal as some babies take longer to settle into a routine & feel secure in their new world. How are you though? A crying baby can drive you to extremes that you never thought possible. If all else fails go for a walk or drive & see if this helps settle your baby to give you some peace & quiet & recovery time. I hope you have a supportive person with you & if not you need to find some kind of support service as you are dealing with a very stressful situation.

Answer 4

VERY normal. Welcome to colic or just a cranky baby. If your doctor said it was normal, dont change the formula because that could just make it worse. She might have some gas in her belly. I highly recommend Tittle Tummies which can be found in your local grocery store in the medicine isle.
If it is colic some things that helped my baby were car rides at night when he was not sleeping. Swaddling is supposed to help too
And for a cranky baby...there isnt much you can do. Rock her, sing to her, cuddle her, and most of all love her. Hold her close and let her know you are there. Babies like to be close and loved.

i hope everything gets better! good luck

Answer 6

Get the doctor to check her for colic. Sometimes too, babies do take a while to settle down. Be patient (although I know this is hard at times) and she will. If you feel yourself feeling depressed because of her crying all the time, find someone who you can talk to, a family member or friend.

Best wishes and kisses to your new little girl! How sweet!

Answer 7

yes, it is completely normal. Our Daughter cried everyday for the first 5 weeks and we nearly went insane. If you think about it, it must be a pretty enormous shock just to be BORN.
It could be a number of things upseting her, in our case our daughter was just having trouble falling asleep, once we learned how to get her to sleep she was fine.
Take her to a baby clinic and see a specialized maternity nurse, they have seen every possible baby trouble and will surely put your mind at ease if not find the solution.

Answer 8

when i was a baby i would cry uncontrollably at night my mom took me to the doc and said i had night horrors (not normal night mares) and now sleep walk because of them. One time i woke up and had scratches all over my legs and didnt no why so when i went to the bathroom my shaving cream was every wher and my razor was on the floor and there were little drops of blood on the floor. my mom decided to lock up the nife drwar in the kitchen

Answer 9

Yes. Babies cry like that. Usually, there is a reason, we just have to figure out what that is. I remember not being able to figure out what my son wanted. One night I was at the end of my rope, crying and confused. I put him down on the bed next to me and he fell asleep. :) Guess that's what he wanted.
If it is getting on your nerves, ask for help from friends or family, or put her in her crib and go into another room to relax.

Answer 10

keep going to the doc because my daughter cried the first 8 weeks of her life come to find out she has a milk and soy protein allergy and i was breastfeeding her!! you never know and it took the docs 8 LONG weeks to find out and she was bad holding her didnt even help...if you feel something is wrong go by your instinct...momma knows best
