Dolly-Mama

When she is hungry, she paws at her mouth and sucks on her fingers. Lately she has been grabbing my finger and putting it in her mouth and chews on it. Thats why I thought she might be teething. She is eating her normal amount of formula, 4-5 oz each time.

I was breastfeeding but I don't make near enough milk to satisfy her so she does get mostly formula. I pump still and only get collectively about 3-4 oz per day. When I first lay her down to sleep at night, she will sleep about 5-7 hrs. but after that she is up about every hour and a half to two hours. She has recently been awake more during the day, usually I can get her to take only one good nap and the others are about 45 mins to an hour and the shorter ones are not consistant.

I have a 12 week old daughter and starting about 5 days ago she has started to be very fussy. She acts like she is hungry all the time, and sucks and chews on her fingers. She will eat her normal sized meals and still cry and act like she is hungry afterward and when I try to feed her she doesn't want anymore. She also does not want to be laid down. It doesn't matter if it is in her crib, on our bed, or on the floor with her boppy pillow. She just screams and screams. The only thing I can think of is that she might be starting to teethe but as my husband pointed out she is still kind of young for that and she hasn't been drooling at all. I don't know what to do but try to comfort her but even that is hard when she is screaming in my ear. What else could be ailing her and what can I do to help her?

They make some called Goodnights that come in a style that are shorts instead of the more diaper looking ones.

I just had my first baby in April. I am a first time mom and definitely learning the trials of going to work with sleep deprivation.
