LO keeps crying

My LO is 2 weeks transiting to 3 weeks. The past few days (we thought it’s growth spurt) she has been crying. I suspect she is overtired. How do you soothe overtired baby? She keeps showing hunger cues but actually sometimes she just needs to burp. She will cry and scream so loud, i tried to put her in my arms, rock her, try to make her to sleep but she just cant stop screaming. I am at loss now.. #firsttimemom However when the nanny took over, she is quiet for a while then cry again…… but with nanny she will continue crying on and off about 10 mins then quiet. If you think i didnt spend enough time with her, the answer is i always spend time with her from the moment she wake up until dinner time🥹#firstbaby

Hang in there mummy. With newborn its really must trial n error see which method is best. You’ll figure it sooner or later. Both my kids were totally different from each other in terms on how to soothe them when they were newborns. But what I realise is its just most probably wind. Try to hold baby upright on your chest and gently tap ur fingers around the whole back. Avoid shushing or rocking, maybe just sway your body slightly. Best to remain calm, try to talk to someone while doing it so that you wont focus to much on the crying and maybe baby will also calm down while listening to the convo. Or Try walking around the house also. Most impt dont stress! I feel like babies can sense your emotions and the more you stress, the more they will cry. All the best! It will all be better don’t worry☺️
