I dont know what is the matter with my 3 week old today, usually she is so happy and content, eats/sleeps well.... but today! She has been up since 6am with 1.5 hrs sleep since then. she is crying, ive fed her, burped her, shes poo'd and piddled, we've been for a walk, spoke to her, played in her baby gym - all the usual things to keep her amused but nothing is working.
Ive just put her down for the 5th time today and im sure the monitor (that would usually be silent for a couple of hours) will go at any point. I hate to see her upset but i dont know what is the matter with her. she doesnt have a temperature. Any advice from experienced mummys would be appreciated! :-(

I swaddle her at night but she doesnt like her arms being restricted for some reason.

I also posted on the main board...it really does sound like colic. Is she bringing her knees up? Try the car seat and also try putting her on her tummy over your knee or 'rowing' with her feet.. u swaddle her?

Thanks H.A.K, i was advised to move it over to this forum instead. I did wonder if she had "growing pains"? Couldnt think of anything else as she isnt sick etc

I've just posted on teh main thread... likely it'll get moved here soon enough. at 3 weeks old, who knows really?! Unless she's presenting signs of being unwell, it could just be that she woke up a bit grumpy today or that she's growing a bit... either way, lots of cuddles are in order! Enjoy!
