Aa
Pissed off.
My daughter is a little over a month old and I feel so angry with my husband!! He promised me on his days off work he would help me so that way I can sleep a little cuz I have been exhausted!!! Well so far, he hasn't helped me!! He let me sleep for a less than two hrs today and woke me up halfway in between my nap cuz she spit up and he wanted me to change her clothes!!! Then, I fell back asleep and heard her out here crying and canned out to help him calm her down, we got into a little argument cuz I've been asking him to plz get me a rocking chair for her to help calm her and I've been asking him for a long time now (she loves the rocking chair, and since I'm the one here who has to deal with her crying fits all the time I really have been wanting it) he has about 1300 in the bank saved and the chair is like 130$ and he won't get it for me and it's pissing me off! He don't care cuz he isn't home at night (he works night shift) and he sleeps all day so he don't have to deal with the crying!!! Anyways after the argument he went back to the bedrm and left me with the baby ... I wanted to go back to sleep after I calmed her down ... Now he is back there sleeping and I get to stay up and watch her ... Again on his day off. I'm so sick of this. He had off yesterday too and he went after work played basketball with his friends, came home and slept all day till we had to go to my moms and then when we came home I had to deal with her crying fit and he just layed on the couch on his phone!!! I feel so angry inside I just want to punch him so bad!
Call her dr my son had colic and screamed from 5-10 pm for two days before I took him in. They gave him some drops and it worked great!! Lay a towel on your dry if you have one and turn it on and let the heat and vibrate might help just make sure it don't get to hot. My son dr told me that one.
She is drinking similac alimentum it's supposed to help with colic idk. I used to think it was colic but idk at this point.
No cuz sometimes holding her don't work n she will keep screaming and I have nobody .. :( my ony family here is my grandma and she is old so she can't handle really helping.
He promised before she was born he would help me. I asked him if in the morning he would watch her so I could take a shower atleast to wake up and before she was born he said he would I've only asked him one time in this whole month to let me take a shower when he got off work and he said he was too tired..

Is there anyone else that could maybe come over and help you out? Sometimes men are scared to deal with small babies that size. I'm having my 2nd in 2 months and I already know that I'll need extra help from my mom. I understand stand how you feel bc with my first I used to get mad bc he never heard her cry throughout the night so I was never able to sleep in.
Do you think she has colic? What kind of milk is she drinking? Or does she just like to be held? If she just likes to be held don't worry as she gets older it'll get better.

No, she gets about 3 ounces every 2-3 hrs nd she turns her head away when she don't want no more.
Well it's a good sign that she's sleeping well at night in between feedings.
is it possible she isn't getting enough to eat?

Yeah I have a swing that really does not work I lay her in it one time while she was having her fit and she starting screaming so bad she turned purple so I took her out quickly. I have talk to the doctor multiple times and all try do is switch her formula :/ thy don't seem to care. The reason I take her from him is cuz I get upset cuz he don't even seem to try very hard to calm her and I think he gets stressed out which just makes her cry more cuz she can sense it..
Yea. It seems like she is a lot like yours cuz if she is still she will start bawling again. I feel like I can't stop walking her around cuz she starts again.
The rocking chair has worked every time I go to my grandmas or my sister in laws house when she starts they rock her in their chairs and she calms down. Idk if it would work every single time but I'm at a point where I want to try everything cuz I just feel so drained from dealing with this everyday with no help. :(
I normally have my fan running on high and tht helps her sleep pretty good thru the night. I just don't get it cuz at night she is fine she will wake up, I feed her, burp her an change her and lie her back down and she is so good. But during the day I'll do the same exact stuff and she just cries and cries. Every time she is up during the day all she does is cry.

Have you tried a swing? He does sound like an ahole though, next time is his turn to watch let him deal with it! Dnt help him it's not fair for you to be doing everything for both y'all daughter
I know you want a rocking hair, but have you actually tried one? My first baby sounds a little like yours, although he was happy if we were walking and "jiggling" him at the same time. He just really needed stimulation. Rocking didn't do the trick at ALL.
I got some really good walking shoes because both my husband and I did so much walking up and down the hall and up and down the stairs jiggling jiggling jiggling him. If he was still he'd start to fuss and then cry.
A couple things work pretty well with babies who cry like yours - the jiggling thing, and also white noise. Have you tried running a blow drier by her head? Also, they often respond to being taken outside.
Best wishes. This won't be your life forever although it probably feels like it.

You should tell her doctor about the crying...
Bump
Yeah, but rocking her seems to help. So I try like rocking her moving my body but I can't do it for long cuz ever since I had her I've been getting really bad back pains if I stand too long or anything. She like screams forever and it's very hard to calm her down and I deal with this pretty much everyday so I really want him to help me when he is off cuz I deal with it every single day alone.. So I can get a break cuz sometimes I just feel like pounding my head against a wall it gets so bad just a few days ago she was doing this for four hrs she would stop a tiny bit and the start back up again for four hrs straight I was dealing with this so you can see why I need a brk sometimes.
It sounds like you need help with her crying. Does she have spells where even if she's been fed and you're holding and walking with her, she's still inconsolable?
