It’s colic and won’t last forever. It’s a passing phase and diff babies have it for diff periods of time - mine was for 3 weeks and always only at nite, made us very sleepless and tired and helpless but it is just like this, have to ride through it. Do get help to maintain some sanity. And yes, it’s because they lack security and need a lot of skin to skin to feel safe in this strange new world they are born into. It’s a growth spurt phase and after you ride thru it, they develop quite significantly
it gets better when it's older, I can imagine but it happens to most parents, if you feel stress maybe still not so prepared as a parent. imagine a little baby in tummy for 10 months so protected then suddenly exposed to the huge world new environment. baby will be scared and always need coaxing, it's not just wind or colic. but baby needs a lot of care and cuddle especially during first 3 months. it's like if you can't get through this then it's going to be a tough road ahead.
my baby also liddat, maybe try do tummy time as the pressure can relief the wind! try letting baby sleep on your chest while u lie down also, ur comfort is good for baby and the pressure on the belly can relief
It is colic. my baby was like that too. I tried all the methods you mention, aeroplane carry, massage and even went to 3 PDs. It will get better once she is older ( around 4 months)
