My 1 month plus baby is being fuzzy and keep crying non stop. Give milk, carry him, no matter what I do.. still keep crying. My granny come to me and ask me apply ru yi you.. not working.. then take '红花' put it on him to calm him down. Also no use.. all the supertitious things my granny and parents keep asking me to do. Until I flare up and walk off. Really feel irritated when baby is already crying so badly for 2 hrs.

Hi it is normal for baby to be very cranky during the first three months. They are also trying to adapt to the new world. I find that newborns usually cry coz of tummy upset like bloatedness, hunger or tiredness. If you have tried ru Yi oil and it doesn't work maybe you can try rid wind drops or massage his tummy clockwise more and press his knees to his stomach. If this doesn't work maybe he is tired. Newborns usually need to nap like every two hours so have to make him sleep before he gets over tired. Stick to a schedule. Another reason could be he is hungry? They go through several growth spurts during the initial months and especially in the evening they like to cluster feed , meaning feed a few times in a short span of a few hours. This is to prep them for the long night sleep so maybe you can try to feed him? If all these don't work then you have to stay positive and just think these will pass in a few months time. My gal was like this. She cried and cried and could not nap unless I carry her. I could not see light at the end of the tunnel and I was always in a foul mood too. All these will pass eventually . Cuddle your baby and listen to some music . Take care
