Question: My new born daughter is keeping me up at nights crying. If she does not need changing or is hungry, is there anything I can do to pacify her?
Brief Answer:
Newborn
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Firstly, congratulations on your new baby.
what you are describing is very common. often this is due to gas. I recommend burping the baby frequently during feeds,even interrupting feeds halfway through to try and get a burp. If this isn't working, you can try baby gas drops. This can be purchased over the counter at your local pharmacy. I typically recommend a half dropper full approximately 10-15 ?minutes before feeding. This will almost always work.
