Answer 2

Newborns (and babies in general) fuss for so many reasons; it's impossible to even guess from such a vague title/question. If you check all of the baby's immediate needs (hunger, gas/burp, diaper, temperature, comfort) and all seems well, the best things you can do for your baby are 1) continue to hold him/her, because at the very least they know that you are there taking care of them; it teaches them to trust that you respond to their cries, which is currently their main form of communication... and 2) do NOT take it personally that s/he won't stop crying. You aren't a terrible parent or doing anything wrong; sometimes babies just cry and we never figure out exactly why. If you can accept that you're doing all you can and somewhat tune out the crying itself, just focus on doing the most soothing/comforting things you can for the baby, and remain calm. Nothing terrible will happen if the baby simply keeps crying, but terrible things CAN happen when parents/caregivers get overly *frustrated* by the crying.

This, too, shall pass. In a few months, you will be back here answering someone else's fussy baby questions, as an experienced parent!

Wear your baby. Hold her close. Sing to her. Play some soothing music. Newborns need to be held close, swaddled, rocked, and "'shh'ed" to. In other words, you need to recreate the warm, comforting and tight embrace of the womb. Read Happiest Baby on the Block for more ideas. I highly recommend wearing your baby in a carrier and walking slowly about the house. Also check out the Continuum Concept for more ideas.
Good luck!

newborn needs to have a clean dipper and full stomach. may be she has gas or tummy pain. try to make her burp after each feeding by patting on her back while you are holding against your shoulder. may be there is a digestion problem with the formula/ or whatever you eat makes the milk you breast feeding affected. in this case stop eating broccoli and sth like that. holding her and comforting her in all he cases will help. unless she has a cold which can bother her. if you are not sure about the situation ask the nurse they give you good advice.

Answer 5

Rocking usually calms them down. Singing to them. Make sure diaper is clean, baby is fed, and burped. Talking to them sometimes helps to. Babies can be fussy for many reasons. Mom to 3 here.

Answer 6

Is your newborn frequently fussy or just right now? She could have a tummy ache. I would lay mine on my stomach, stomach to stomach, and rock them.

Answer 7

the baby is trying to cope with a world he or she in unfamiliar with - its a totally new environment for the little one, and adaptation to a new environment isn't easy. Make sure baby doesn't have gas, that you are HOLDING the baby while feeding him or her - not propping a bottle up with a pillow. Also try swaddling the baby - wrapping him or her up tightly, so baby feels secure and snug, like in the womb.

Good luck and hang in there.
