Life is so hard with a newborn baby and other small children. I don't know what I would do without my husband and older children who understand that Mom is so busy with the baby but the baby will grow soon and won't be so fussy.

I love my son more than life itself, he is 3 weeks old and yeah he's amazing. That being said from 12am to 4 am he turns into Damien (the omen child 😄). Thank you for the tips because it is very difficult!

My 2 week old doesn't use the paci much. Got arms like a quarterback though and launches the paci out of his bassinet.

I'm a new mum, and your videos literally saved me ❤ my baby slept like an angel, waking up just for the feeds. I'm so thankful I ran into your channel 🙏

One thing I try to remember is that the baby picks up on your emotions. If you're stressed out, they may fuss even more... I have 3 young children, 6yrs, 4yrs and 2yrs. It is REALLY hard when the toddler wants or needs something, or just wants attention. But these days fly by and one day, they'll be running around the yard playing.

Bouncing on the yoga ball really helps my baby... I didn't realize it was the up and down motion in general!

really important thing...you shouldve added that colic may be caused fully or partially by their digestive system being underdeveloped and needing to finish developing, meanwhile giving the baby pain because of their digestion. this is a really important factor, as not every baby cries just because 'scary new world'. where I live (the Netherlands) colic is just a synonym for digestive system issues in babies. and in order to calm those down these tips in the video will not help in the long run (they will help deal with the aftermath, but not prevent issues happening). digestive issues in newborns are unavoidable but there are some things you can and should do. you need to go back to what food they are getting if youre using formula, what bottle youre using, how much air they are sucking in while you feed them if they are a bottle feeder, do you burp them if they are a 'burp baby' etc...thats why they sell 'anti colic bottles'' as well for slower eating. there are medicines that you can feed to your little one before feeding time, and they help them with digesting, and that are perfectly safe and common to use. so before a feed i give my baby infacol. then feed her but not too fast if it is via bottle. take breaks when baby asks.so after about 10-15 mins feeding time via bottle, its time to burp. but, my baby is not a burp baby , but a farty baby, but we give her opportunity to burp anyway, and keep her upwards for about 10 minutes after a feed to make sure food goes down. we give her gentle leg massage (keep in mind do NOT do 'bycicle' massage on babies as it can do harm to their developing hips) , and prepare a 'warm pillow' that is size of her tummy , we warm it up in a microwave and we place it on her tummy either while shes awake and looking about, but usually i put it down on a safe surface like her crib, put it down where shed lay then lay her on her tummy with tummy touching the warm pillow. she usually falls asleep really nicely too, and thing stays warm long enough to soothe her. also, a warm nice short bath also helps.

Just had my first “witching hour” experience with my 10 day old. I did frequent feeds and the flex and hold which worked a treat. I also had your comment “it’s a normal part of development” in my mind which calmed me in this process. I’m loving all these video’s 👍

So far, the best KZfaqr for baby tips. I love that you show pictures of the poses… it makes it easier to understand… thank you, thank you!

We had a hard time around week 2 and 3. We tried everything, until we finally by week 4 understood our little one was getting overstimulated and overtired. Now we keep an eye out for any tiredness cues, and we pick him up asap and go into a darker, quiet room to cuddle (typically me giving boobie) and when he is just about to fall asleep we put him down and leave the room. If he starts crying we help soothe him through shushing and giving pacifier to suck, and some gentle touches, once he is calm again we leave the room. If he continues to fuss, we try changing diaper and giving a small meal. He seems a lot more hungry during the evening, wanting frequent smaller meals. We have used white noise a few times, and it has worked wonders.

Our 1 month old boy only soothes when we take his clothes off and mummy holds him on her bare bosom. Skin contact helps us a lot.

I love your videos, they really helped me out with my newborn 😊

Thank you so much! Love all your videos! They have been super helpful with our new baby! You are doing such important work. God bless!

My baby is 6wk and its definitely the peak. Hes so fussy and I didn't know what was wrong and why he was crying. Thank you

I got a habit for every new channel subscribe … the first video. I look is the oldest and then I’ll decide if I continue subscribe or not and you’re Emma, you have nailed it thank you for everything on behalf of every new parrent

My husband usually takes the night shift from 10-2 and has just experienced babies Witching hour! I'm so glad this video popped up cause I wasn't sure how to help and didn't know what the reason behind it was. Thank you! ❤️

Your videos are the best. I had seen this one before, but today has been quite difficult, I don't know why she's crying so much, and it has been so reassuring to hear that she's not in pain and that it's a normal stage.

Thank you so much for the list

This channel is gold. Thank you!!

My son is now almost 3 months and it seems that we already got through the colic period. I can say that all of the tips in video are great and worked for my baby, plus we did lot of chest to chest time and belly massage. When it was very bad we bath our baby and that was great for him, he was distracted and warming and soothing effect of water helped as well.

What a great resource! Number 5 works a treat. Will be sure to try some of the others in the pdf

Wish I had found this when it started for my little one. We've already weathered through it and he now sleeps through most of the night. The only times I really struggled with it was if I was the over tired one.

Great tips thanks so much! Have used the regular breastfeeds and worked a charm! 🙂

Thank you so much 😊 I’m going through it and I’m not sure what to do now I know that it’s normal thnx again

I didn’t know this was the witching hour, I thought my baby had an sudden increase in appetite.

New granny here…thank you for explaining in simple terms, these great tips for soothing newborns.

Any special witching hour tips for a Mommy of twins? Asking for myself lol. They're going through this period currently. Thank you!🙏🏼

Wow! What great 5 tips. Learnt a few new strategies to use for next baby during the ‘witching’ hour. Explained very well and useful resources to use in time of need.

thank you for every amazing informations

Not planning on having kids anytime soon, but found your videos very helpful and I love that they're research based, now im going back to take notes so that I'll be ready when the time comes

New Dad here, sending thanks for the help with dealing with the tiny gremlin in the other room. 👹

My son has been doing this loud cry since about 2 weeks old, he is now 5 weeks. Every single day he does this around 5-7am! Hopefully later on tonight these strategies work- I am going to try the carrier he seems to enjoy being in it

Amazing insights. Thanks 😊

Thank you for sharing!! I wish I had have known this with our first - I remember feeling like I was failing her because I couldn’t calm her down. So glad I know better now for our next little one. 🥰

Great advice. I have used four of the five soothing strategies mentioned in this clip and they really helped. Both my girls refused the dummy. I always offered regular breastfeeds first.

Just the things I needed as a first time mom. Thank you. I subscribed immediately.

I'm through this period with my 2 months old boy. I will try these tips. Thank you!

Thank you 😊 just found your channel.

Thank you for the information it was helpful to us

thank you and i love your top ❤️

Here are some things I've learned with my 2 month old boy: There's a technique which helps me, learned it from dr Hamilton, name is "the hold", you can look it up at KZfaq. Also, another thing that helps: lying down on your back, your head on a pillow, child on your chest in a position belly-to-belly or child could be curled: knees touching their belly. In this position you can carefully rock them up and down. Just swiftly. In addition, you can also gently pat them on their back or butt or stroke them. Sometimes bathing him in warm water helped. Hope my experience helps someone else. Lots of love to everyone

Thanks for sharing...

it's great tips now we comonly used regular breastfeeding

Okey, this explained a lot and thankfully we’ve been doing everything right to keep our baby calm. Thanks for the video

Just had a baby! super helpful!

Thank you for everything. You are a lifesaver for new parents. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hello, thanks for the video. When can we start using a baby carrier/sling for a newborn?

What baby carrier do you recommend?

Thank you so much for such great tips,will definitely try all the tips you shared. Thank you once again😊

Going through this right now with our 3-week old. The car ride is the winner...after he cries it all out in the car, he falls asleep.

Great tips 🙏🙏

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

Ours happens at 10pm-4am straight 😳

How long should you continue after they stop crying ?

Thanks so much I thought my son is very sick and no doctor can find out why

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Oh my goodness, I had started questioning myself and wondering why I was such a bad parent who couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her baby. This coupled with my inability to produce enough milk to breastfeed my baby was really stressing me out. (She was born prematurely so it’s been hard from the beginning to produce milk.) Now that I know what’s going on I know that I’m doing all that I can to make my baby comfortable and that it’s just a stage we have to get through. Your videos are very helpful.

Very informative. Thank you.

nice job

Thanks so much for this, I didn’t know about the witching hour and I’ve noticed it in my 5 week old. I was afraid my supply was decreasing but he also didn’t seem hungry. I frequently nurse him and that soothes him, but I have to keep holding him or he will start crying again. The carrier helps and a paci but it takes some time for him to calm down

My baby cries on time like she know how to see the clock

***side note*** it’s not considered safe to cook while baby wearing. Hot foods can splatter or pop and may hurt your little one. Agree with everything else! Love this channel and you have been such a help whenever I have a question! Thank you for all your work!

Thanks, we've been doing some of these strategies already and others we haven't tried yet, great to have some different things to try. I like that you say to continue to do sooth baby after they have calmed. I've been stopping once calm and then confused when they start straight back up again. Will keep it up from now on!! :)

When can I start using carrier for my newborn? She is 19 days old

Mamaroo worked for both my babies. Only the first 2 motions though

How can we differentiate between gas pain and witching hour?

What is pourpuse of this development? WHat they development during this period?

For How many minutes per day to do tummy time please for a 4 month old?

My eldest daughter never did this. She almost never fussed at all. My 3 almost 4 week old daughter is the same way. She will make some not quite crying sounds for a few seconds at a time to let me know she is hungry other then that she is silent. She is always just looking around smiling or making an O with her mouth. She pretty much never fussed at all.

You have a baby face ❤️❤️

My son started the witching hour from 3 months and he only would sleep first if he is in my arms walking the house. I walk for 40min first and now with 10min is enough after he was feed nicely, but can’t wait for this period to finish 😅

Does running water help ??

I haven't received the pdf. I been trying?

I noticed you said you don’t have to worry about spoiling your baby at this stage, like with holding them to comfort them so much. At what age would it be more of a concern that they become reliant on you to hold them for comfort?? Thanks for all the help!

I think what really helps is the mental point that these witch hours are part of the new "job" and everything in the evening before 11pm is not over hour but normal "work time". Try to do the best out of it. I turned on some fancy music and started to dance with my little boy on my arms. Both of us liked it 😊 Next thing - use feeding times during these hours for your own rest. Close your eyes, take deep breaths. You will need all the energy you can get for the next crying period. And don't focus on that this feed should make him or her sleep. It might not and that's totally fine. Also, when your little girl or boy stopped crying be aware of the fact that due to moving arms and legs during the cry he or she is heated up and should literally cool down. It might help to put off one layer of clothes for a few minutes.

Where is your pink horse wall print from?❤

Going through this now at 4 weeks and we feel hopeless. We thought something was wrong and only wondered if it's colic but didn't realize it most likely is. With Colic/witching hour, is it more likely that the baby won't sleep? We're having a hard time putting him to sleep, lots of crying (we've followed the tips that are in your 7 tips video) - and really the only thing that works each time is if we put him in the stroller and push it around the house.

I can't seem to find the pdf document you refer to in the video

witching hour is so hard on me. I can't see him crying like this

My baby carrier says to not put him in it against my chest until he’s 4 months. I’ve yet to find any that say they can be used with newborns. Do you have any suggestions for holding him during these times while I care for my own needs and the needs of the rest of my family?

When they are ready they will unlock there ja or maybe there ja is tired

Trying the baby carrier and regular breast feeds

I thought my baby was mad at me lmaooooo

Awww mine is 5 weeks. My baby is weird, cries when i swaddle him and spits out the pacifier i got him. He liked paci at first and happily used it for a few days but now he doesnt want it. I find he is usually most fussy around 6 to 7pm when he gets tired and ready to sleep, i put him in his cot, normally if i leave him at this point he wont sleep and will cry after a few minutes or immediately after me putting him down. But ive discovered rubbing his tummy and singing or reading to him softly will soothe him enough for him to drift off to sleep. Every baby has their own quirks i think.

Is lots of spitting up common during this time as well? My baby is constantly throwing up through her nose and choking on it and my other two spit up and screamed constantly. They're both Autistic, though

Mine is going through this badly, she is 10 week and having it again from last 1 week , she doesn’t even bf that time neither she takes pacifier, walking works for 2-4 minutes and again starts crying

Have people had the experience of your baby making an irritable moaning sound after feeding. Is my baby bored? I run through my checklist: hungry, sleepy, nappy, gassy and sometimes the baby is crying or appears upset for no obvious reason.

My baby is 4 months old and this is the worst he has been. He has been pretty fussy up until now but now it's the worst it has ever been. 2 hours straight of crying and me trying a million different things and nothing seeming to work.. 😖😩

I never used a pasi sine I was born

At what age is it safe to use a carrier?

this only started when he turned 5 months... what could this be?

My baby's witching hours starts from 11:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. And its becoming worse for me.

My babby just eats and chat as i call it during witching hour

I have a 3 week old boy (almost 4 weeks) he’s started to get really fussy during the witching hour. When he has his first evening feed he has around 4oz of formula, after this he is bobbing his head like he’s routing for more so we try to give him more but he just rejects it and screams! Is this normal?

my baby is 4 weeks and is driving me insane from the afternoon till night.. she keeps fussing and doesn't sleep.. ends up overtiring herself.. doesn't sleep on her bed nor in my lap.. I don't know what to do I wanna run away :((

I have a 3 week old and noticed he's fussy more in evenings just crying non stop tried everything still nothing and is hard for him to fall asleep

Should I be concerned if my baby never goes through this?

It last until 3 months?? 🥴

How to make my baby use pacifier?

My baby is 2months old and always pushes the pacifier out with his tongue
