When he gets fussy try giving him some warm water..It will help calm his tummy...Another thing, wrap him tightly in a blanket, hold him with his head up on your chest and swing him side to side, in a fast motion...It will basically "make" him fall asleep, the motion is too much for them to fight...Also you can pick up "gas drops" from your local pharm....If he gets fussy and there is NOTHING else wrong, try the gas drops...He may be a little colicy at the moment..Are you warming EVRYTHING you give him(besides the breast milk)
And yes, if you are BF'ing you need to watch your diet because he will get upset tummy's from what you eat...
Keep your chin up hunny, it does get easier I PROMISE!!!..I have 4 kids and the baby stages are tough..Especially when your hubby is working all the time and you are left to take care of baby...
It won't hurt him to cry, it actually helps their lungs..Have to tried letting him cry for a few minutes in his crib to see if he will go on to sleep??
