Lost my confidence this morning and feeling anxious 😥
My little one was crying and screaming from 6-10pm last night and nothing me and my partner did would console her or make her happy. I swear she had a panic attack because she was panting and fast breathing, I think she cried her self to sleep which broke my heart.
This morning I feel all nervous and dare not even try leave the house and I’m dreading it when she’s awake. She’s 6weeks old tomorrow.

Our five week old is going through this right now too 🥲 She cries inconsolably from 20:00 until midnight every night and it truly is awful. We try everything to calm her down but it just doesn’t work. One day we had to just let her cry herself to sleep as we were so stressed out. We have noticed that her crying isn’t as loud as before and sometimes we can calm her with rocking or a feed. It will get better, I promise 🤍

We’ve had a couple of night like this and I felt so anxious the next day. But then we had a good night and I felt okay again. 6-8 weeks is peak for witching hour - inconsolable crying. Fresh air, sling wearing, nursing (if breastfeeding) are meant to help. My husband put his noise cancelling headphones in and paced the house with her but it was horrible!! Just here to say, I hear you and I empathise. You’ve got this!
