LO is 4w+3d/1-month today, bless her heart, thank-god she is cute, this fussing business is tough on Mom & Dad's heads.

Twice last week we did 6 hours stints, otherwise it's just been 2-3 hours beginning around 4-5pm, but Sunday night it was 7 hours, last night 8 hours of fuss, fuss, fuss.

We coincidentally got a Lucie's List email Sunday regarding fussing, so we are happy it's not just us, but is there anything we can do?!

She is mostly a saint during the day, and sleeping fairly well in the night (once she settles....1-2am or so) on a good 3-hour feeding routine (give or take) and usually fairly easy to settle.

It's so trying on the patience, I know this isn't supposed to be easy, but it's just really tough on the head as the hours drag on. Sometimes she will settle for 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes, but nothing for the night until 1am or so in these fussing stints. We have tried the paci, swinging, swaddling, laying, cradling, over the shoulder, laying her in her chair (we sit on the floor with her, and rock her a little), walking the stairs in our house, into the sling, etc, no way in heck will she go down in her bassinet once she does settle, she's a clingy chest baby or I have resorted to going into our spare room and laying with her (safely...! as safe as we can anyways) in the bed (I can't believe I am owning up to this, I said I never would do this!)

She seems to be hanging on to burps more, I think? And some more spit up in the eve, she is ebf'ed. We just can't seem to get her comfortable, poor DH thinks she does this all day......thankfully she doesn't, but of course his limited time with her with his work day.....makes it tough for him too!

I know it will pass, but just looking for any other things we might be able to try, or something I'm missing?!

Adding some cuteness for fun......
