Breastfed babies will want to feed more often at a time when you thought life was getting easier. Spend a few days building up your milk supply and your baby will soon settle down. Ask your health visitor s advice about changing to a soya or goat's milk formula if you suspect your bottle-fed baby is sensitive to cow s milk. If you are breastfeeding then your breastfeeding counsellor can help you sort out what it is that you are eating that may be upsetting your baby. She may be thirsty or wanting to comfort suck.
Some babies become cranky when they are over-fed or thirsty.
Some babies cry more when their parents are upset especially if their mother is suffering from post-natal depression. A difficult birth whether it was very long, very fast, premature, or a forceps or Cesaerean delivery can leave some babies shocked and upset. A combination of homeopathy and cranial osteopathy can help these babies a lot. Some mothers find their entire life is ruled by their baby s crying and that they aren t managing to get anything done. Your baby s crying may make you feel frustrated and incompetent and like howling as well.
