im afraid i dont think there is much u can really do about it,i think just some babys are like that.i really feel for u though,it must be hard work! just try to stay calm as it will pass eventually and she will settle down. good luck!

My third was like that at night alot and it was wind, I gave him dentinox colic stuff, seemed to do the trick. If its not wind,get your other half or your mum to have the baby in the evenings or weekend for a while so you can spend a bit of time doing something you and your older child like to do, just so you can spend some time together until the baby settles, sometimes babies are just niggley and want more attention and it is hard when you have other kids. Even if you just have an hour with the eldest they appreciate it, but it all sorts it out in the end. I found my second very hard to deal with cos you are so used to dealing with just one, when my third came along it was much easier to juggle. Try to perciveer it will all fall into place eventually and remember to have a rest yourself, take care and good luckxx

heres an idea my mum told me cos my bro constantly cried give the babs quater rusk in a btl of milk n shake well or if ur breast feeding give hot water ormilk n rusk in a bowl , mix leave to cool,spoon feed and then on the breast it worked

I agree with emmal20, my daughter was like that when she was at that age, so i started putting rusk in her bottle, and also infacol, (for colic) it helped tremendusly with her wind. Made life a lot easier and soon she was bringing up wind no problem and sleeping 7hrs on one occasion between feeds. If your baby likes cuddles, have you tried using sling while doing everyday things. I did this on a few occasions, i was still living at home so there was always somebody to hold the baby, when everybody was out i used the sling. that way both of them get equal attention. I hope I have been helpfull. I'm new to these forums and Do not wish to offend anyone by my posts, amnot sure what is allowed and what isnt. sorry if i have upset anyone it was not intential.

benjamin was a quiet baby but i use to give him a small bit of horlicks in his bottle to settle him if he was on one & i used to play a story cd in his room seemed to work.
