My son is about 3 weeks old today and I am just wondering if all babies are like him or does he just whine alot? He seems like he needs alot of attention. even when I am holding him he will sit there and whine, not cry but keep making noises like he wants to cry. even when he breastfeeds he is very picky. He will whine and cry and the only way to get him to stop is to put him down and let him cry so he gets real mad then he will take the breast easier but he still makes whining noises the whole time he is eating. he seems very high strung. he is always clinching his fists and when he crys he clinches his whole body like he is trying to squeeze out a big crap or something. so all babies do that? any ideas on how to help this fussiness all the time?
kai, I didnt say he was pooping alot. read the question. I said he clinches his whole body and fists like if someone were squeezing out something.
ys he does kick his legs alot n think he is gassy n he is always getting hiccups
 
First of al Babies cry grunt and whine and it is not unusual second of all it seems your Baby has a Gas and he feels some pain he does not whine to piss you off so do not put him down and let him cry out because it is not good for them, as much annoyed you might get imagine how your Baby feels he can not tell you what is bothering him so just take extra good care. reason I told you ll this because your question sounded to me like you thought Baby was an easy job and you are annoyed... whatever happens dont just live him cry
 
all babies whine
but it sounds like he's a little high strung
or could be discomfort from gas.

You can try giving him a massage with baby oil
or a warm bath,
or swinging on a swing like a front porch swing
or a playground swing with him in your arms

Breastfeeding is definately a great thing to do for your baby.
That will give him the best advantages
for his immune system and everything else too.

How about singing to him,
and having uplifting music playing in the background 24/7
talk to him in a clam voice..try not to get upset.
He'll be three months old before you know it...
and the next thing you know, he'll be three years old. lol

but for you this is a special time to be there
and try to meet all the needs of your little one.
His needs might be emotional and physical.
He just needs alot of reassuring and a lot of patience and love.
You are uniquely qualified to be his mom.

My mother was tortured with me as a child. All I'd do is whine and cry. I wouldn't sleep unless she drove me around in the car for a while, (My mother used to work in a factory from 7-5 on a sewing machine with no seat and then have to come home to me!)

When I started Nursery or Kindergarten, the teachers had to tell me she went to the toilet so she could go to work.

All babies are different, the important thing is you spend as much attention on them as they need, and probably more. =] x
 
Sounds normal to me. Sometimes my son would make noises when he was eating to but it was more like happy noises. If you think the whining is bad now wait till they he is two. I know you think it gets easier, it really does not, it just changes. As soon as you get everything down pat stuff starts changing again and you have to learn how to make all the new stuff work. You will get use to it all soon. As far as the fussiness try singing to him, rocking him, put him in a swing, take him for a walk in the stroller or in the car, get a good bouncy seat that vibrates. Good luck!
 
Does he scream or cry for long periods or just fuss? He may be starting colic. It generally starts around 2-3 weeks of age and if he cries for more than 3 hrs a day 3 days a week. Also if your baby clenched fists and arches back (I know you said he did) is a sign of colic. The only thing that worked for me is the nutramigen formula. It's expensive, but amazing! My son Had a crying spell for over 2 hrs one night. Nothing worked except holding him and letting him cry. The formula takes about 2 weeks to start really working, is what my dr told me. Maybe you should call the dr, since you are bf to see what he/she recommends. I tried otc mylicon & my dr said it doesn't really help & is a waste of money. It's worth a shot if you want to try it. It's an option!

I also find over the weeks (he's 11 weeks now) went on, he's more alert & there are new ways to keep his interest & hopefully the crying subsides.
My baby enjoys being held up (as long as the head support is good)
so he can see everything. He gets noted staring at me. When he's awake and not fussy I do tummy time, which puts pressure on the tummy to release gas.
If he is colic, just have patience & remember it's short-lived.
