My 5 weeks old cry when ever she wakes up even after feeding and changing and holding and burping her?

Question

she does this all the time day and night and she doesn't like to be swaddle. I took her to the doctor 5 times and they say there is nothing wrong with her health wise, please help!!!!

Answer 1

If the doctor already said there's nothong wrong with her health, don't worry, especially if those were different doctors.

It is normal that a baby at this stage cries a lot when waking up, even  at night. I know it's a mother's hard task not just physically, the feeding, changing and everything, but this soon will pass as she grows older, approximately 3rd month. Bear with your child's needs.

At night after burping her, cuddle until she falls asleep then put her back in the crib. After few hrs she'll wake up again, & you'll do the same routine. Sleep deprivation is part of motherhood, but u can ask someone (like dad) to change shifts doing this routine.

Some says cuddling all the time is not good, but for me i'd rather cuddle my little one til he falls asleep rather than hearing him cry all day or night. At this stage you're not spoiling your child. And yes it's on his 3rd month that he slept longer, even without much cuddling.

Answer 2

Your baby could be going thru a growth spurt. Mine daughter did at this age. It lasted about a week and she would cry from 8.30pm till anywhere between 11-3am! It was exhausting and stressful but we got thru it. It is normal for a baby this young to cry a lot.

Maybe try elevating her cot/crib so she's not laying flat, could be helpful. She could have wind, i used to lie my bub over my knee on her tummy and this helped her (this was the only way i could get her to sleep for a while!) Maybe try a nice warm deep bath or baby massage. Rubbing her belly in a clockwise direction may help also.

Good luck and just remeber they're not like this forever! They grow up so quick and you'll wonder where the time went and would even be happy to go back to these harder stages!
