6 weeks

[ljob22]

LO will be six weeks on wed. past two days she has been constantly fussy when awake, won't stay asleep when i put her down during the day, and wants to bf constantly. she will spit it all up and be rooting as she's spitting up. nothing seems to appease her: i've tried holding her different ways, putting her in carrier, walking around with her, swing, bouncy seat, etc. is this a growth spurt? i'm going a little nuts!

Could be a growth spurt. Could be a baby.

Try gripe water for her; bourbon for you.

It may be a growth spurt, but have you looked into reflux?

it has been well-documented that fussiness, particularly in the evening, peaks around 6 weeks. i don't remember exactly what they called it. it does get better. you just have to do what you can to soothe LO during this period and wait til she grows out of it - sucky advice, right? good luck.

My LO is almost 5 weeks and for the past week or so he's been extremely fussy at nighttime. I'm hoping it's a growth spurt or some kind of phase that will pass. It's extremely frustrating trying to comfort a screaming baby that is having none of it.
