Baby keep crying for hours non stop

Yesterday was the first day we brought baby home , day 4 of baby, and it was the worse. From evening until morning, baby cannot stop crying no matter what we do, we carry him, we fed him, changed diaper, put baby oil on stomach, swaddled, given pacifier, nothing works. His eyes are just wide open and keep crying bloody murder. Is this normal for newborn to be like this and what do we do ? As we are first time parents we are very helpless and clueless. 😔 Really very stress and i feel useless as a mother that i cant do anything. Esp now im still recovering from e-csect.

Yes it was. Especially during the first two weeks. Maybe it’s because first time moms are inexperience. Cause that’s what I faced. Baby settled down when my in laws or the elders carried them. I just feel baby can feel it if that person is stress out. The more they will cry. When I slowly started gaining confidence, she eventually settled down. Took hours still but it wasn’t as bad as the first few days when she’s home. I invested in swaddle / biogaia / ridwind / a proper baby rocker. Invest in swaddles, it really makes a difference.
