Advice needed please.....
Hi,
I feel really guilty for posting this and asking for advice but i'm hoping someone can give me a 'quick win' to solve my problem!
Our beautiful baby boy is 2 weeks old and is as good as gold......most of the time! He is breastfed on demand and feeds for around 20mins then has a nappy change and then another 20 mins. I wind him after each feed and don't always get a burp but will 90% of the time have milk come back up. He sleeps every 4 hours or so and hardly cries.
Sounds good up to now........only between 11 and 2am he has a 'high maintence' period, he is fed then winded and nappy changed as usual but then he won't stop crying and throws his head back and tenses up. We continue to feed/change/wind him for another 2 or 3 times but we find it really hard to get him to settle enough to swaddle and put in his basket.
Am i doing anything wrong? He is such a perfect baby all day and evening then is a little screamer until 2am.
Any suggestions?

I hadn't thought of colic tbh but on searching it on the internet his symptons are spot on.
Last night was better, we kept him awake abit more in the evening and then gave him a bath with Johnsons bedtime bath and then gave him a massage with the lavender lotion. I fed and winded him then swung him from side to side in my arms to calm him down. He was put in his moses at 12 fast asleep and woke only for feeds.
Fingers crossed the massage and swinging soothe it.....after hearing it can last months i hope its just a glitch and not colic!
Thanks for advice xx
