How do you get a 2 month old to nurse better during her fussiness period?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:It’s not uncommon for babies to go through a fussy early evening period in their first few months. My daughter was fussy, like clockwork, around 6 to 7 pm at two months old. Nothing seemed to help. Usually after exhausting all possibilities I would just lay her down and watch the clock. “They” say to not let an infant cry for more than five minutes without responding. It was the LONGEST five minutes ever, but, EVERY tome she would fall asleep at about the 4 minute mark. lol Then, after 45 minutes or an hour of napping she was her usual cheerful, easy going, self again. I say don’t try to force her to your breast. Most likely she is either over stimulated or just tired, or both. Babies are not textbook, if you’ve tried everything just let her be for awhile. The more you fuss the more she fusses. Also..I was big on offering a small bottle of water. Babies need water too, and it gives them their sucking fix. I highly advocate getting her used to a bottle of water between feedings.
