Been locked in our house the whole time , minus doctor appointments, because she just screams . She’s getting plenty to eat from breastfeeding and has all her needs met. This is not what I thought having a baby would be like. I knew there would be crying , but I never imagined the inconsolable, non-stop screaming in my wildest dreams. I just love her so much and want her to be happy .

We call this purple tears. It exists. It is not unusual. Being a newborn is quite difficult. With time, it improves. Try your best to take care of her developing digestive system; it aches when they struggle to pass gas or stool. But throughout the course of the weeks, their digestion does improve.
It’s a very challenging stage.

Sending you so much support right now.you’re doing an amazing job! It sounds really tough, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Babies can be incredibly unpredictable, and sometimes all the love and care in the world doesn’t stop the crying. Hang in there, and don’t hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician or a support group for help. You’re not alone in this, and things will get better. You’re a great mom!
