My 6 week old baby refuses to be put down. After breastfeeding, she either will settle in my arms (rarely) or sometimes struggle and cry. When I put her down, she cries and fidgets all the time. I don't know what's wrong. I had burped her, diaper is clean, she's well not feverish. Tried singing song to her, talking to her. Tried walking her around the house, she was quiet for 1-2 mins before she got bored and struggled again. I'm so worn out. Any recommendation on how to soothe baby or how to let baby settles?

Hi mummy, I am not sure whether you heard of colic problem that is very common from newborn to 5 months old. There are "winds" in baby's tummy that they do not have the capability to expel it out by themselves. When they have colic, baby tend to be so fussy, struggling and some even refused to drink their milk because of the pain. You can confirm with your paed on this. Normally they will provide colic drop if it happens to be colic. Meanwhile, you can try bicycle kick at home to relieve the pain.
