Take it easy, darling:)
1) Definitely, ask family members to babysit so you can have time to yourself every once in awhile.
2) Call doctor if you think something is wrong
3) Check to make sure the baby's needs are taken care of-- fed, diaper change, warm, etc.
4) Hold & comfort baby
5) Give baby a pacifier
6) Take a deep breath
You'll be fine-- hang on in there. Make sure you talk to your family members/friends/doctor about how stressed you feel:)

Well, also make sure you are taking care of yourself. Could you have postpardum? Do you have a friend or family member you can call to watch the baby for a couple hours while you get out. I am sure people you never thought would help would be happy to. Also maybe try joining a playgroup to just get out of the house and have social time. Of course Colic is a possiblity and the only thing for that would be mylicon drops. I use to put my baby carrier on and walk the baby around while I cleaned and stuff and MY girls loved this. Also if worse comes to worse does she like riding in the car? Just take a car ride to ease the stress a little. and also do nto feel bad about letting her cry. If you know she is fed and diapers are changed then let her cry a little. It does not make you a bad mom, just a sane one.

You don't say what the problem is. Is your daughter fussy after eating? You may not be burping her long enough. Does she seem fussy before laying down for bed? She might be having digestive problems and you might want to get a library book on infant massage (this was a life-saver for me!). Does she nurse? Maybe she still hungry. My son seemed to nurse around the clock for the first four months or so. Does she just want to be held? This may be a classic case of the crabby baby. You probably will have to experiment for a few days with different things to see what calms her. Maybe rocking in the rocker, maybe walking the halls. Maybe a car ride. Maybe a bath. Sorry I can't be of more help, but those are some ideas to try. Babies are stressful, but try to stay calm and clear headed about the situation. The baby can sense your tension and will express that herself too. Best of luck

Maybe she is teething and her gums hurt her. The next time that she cries try putting some Oragel on her gums and see if she stops crying.
If that isn't the proable then maybe she has colic. If she does then you will have to wait it out. Also maybe you can try rubbing her belly she might have a belly ache.
If you can't figure out what the problem is you need to take her to the doctor they might be able to check her and she if everything is alright.
HOPE THAT THIS HELPS YA!!!!!

she is probably starting to teeth.
just feed her when she is hungry and play with her and cuddle her.
if she is extra whiny and keeps putting her fingers in her mouth. has a diaper rash and even a fever, drooling excessively then she may be cutting a tooth. she doesn't have to have all of these symptoms, however.
i give our son tylenol infant drops for his teething pains, however, i recommend you consult your pediatrician on how they want you to treat his teething. a baby can only take so much tylenol, so ask for specifics on dosage, how often and how many days in a row you can give it to him.
hang in there mom. if you have to, sometimes just lay him in his crib and walk away for 5 mintues to re-group.
i find baths and diaper changes are good ways to combat a bad mood baby.
take care:)

she might be starting to teeth which can make them a little grumpy and gas which can cause alittle colic and if you think it gets worse and it be becomes more of concern ask your doctor. But try alittle tynolen to see if it helps.

do you have a vibrating bouncy chair? if it is colic this can help. Some babies just have issues with digestive situations. remember this is not a stupid thing to bring to the doctor.

could be colic, or it could be she's picking up on your stress and frustration. Talk to her Pediatrician.
