Crying Baby at Night~ Need Advice PLEASE!!

Perfectly normal. It should get better around week 8, and then be totally gone by week 12. Get hubby to walk her, take yourself to bed.

My son had issues with Similac. We thought he was getting colic - was crying at night for hours...it was AWFUL! I talked to some friends - and several suggesting switching formulas - we switched over to Nestle Good Start and things improved immediately. Turns out the Similac was making him constipated and was difficult for him to digest. Good luck and hope she's feeling better soon!

Get her evaluated for GERD. My little one had it and that's how she behaved.

I'm not sure what you mean by fuzzy?

It only happens at night? Near the rest of the family's bedtime?
Is this a larger feeding than the rest of the day? Does she usually have a BM after this cranky stage?
Did you already bring this up to your pediatrician at the 6 week checkup and they said everything is fine?

If she's burping normally, gas drops don't change a thing and she still poops after every feeding rather than once a day after the 'fuzzy' time, then it could be that she objects to everyone's bedtime routines and the overall feeling that the house is winding down and people won't be holding her soon. In which case, it's a phase she'll soon grow out of and just don't break your normal routines. Let her find comfort in them.

My now 5 year old did the same thing. One night to the point that the neighbors called the cops. The officers walked in and found a very frazzled mommy with a crying baby in her arms while the 3 year old was happy as could be and thrilled to meet a police officer. :) Change your formula! The doctor had us switch to Similac Alimentum or Enfamil Nutramigen and gave him some zantac. After about a month we switched to carnation with their "comfort proteins" because of the cost and were just as successfully with that. With my oldest we just used soy but that didn't work for my second. I too would have thought that it couldn't have been the formula since it was only at night, but switching the formula sure did seem to fix it.

Take her to a chiropractor! A good chiropractor can use their hands or a tool called an activator to gently adjust her. These adjustments can help with things from crankiness (colic) to tummy troubles and even help prevent ear infections. Chiropractors should be a good listener and be able to help find solutions and potential causes. Good luck!

I am not sure what you mean by "fuzzy" but if she is grumpy after feedings..and feels better after "bouncing"...I would think she is gassy. Try Mylicon...better yet...get the Walmart version (its cheaper and does the same thing) A few drops in the bottle makes a WORLD of difference.
You can find it at Walmart in the pharmacy......
We could not have lived without it.

If she's only fussy and cries after her evening feeding, it's probably not the formula- she's just entering into the "purple crying" phase that most babies go through.
Causes are ultimately unknown, however the medical society thinks it could be because their nervous system starts to talk more to the brain, gas pain or a few other things.
With my son I think it was gas. I breasfed him, however every night almost like clockwork he would cry and we couldn't do anything except keeping him bouncing or walking or swinging.
It will pass usually by 3 or 4 months, but until then you could check out some books at the library on infant massage (REALLY helped my son), and also start "wearing" her around the house.
Also google "purple crying"- it will explain a lot.
:) Good luck, this phase is trying but trust me when I say it will get better :)
