ER visit, ER Nurse

I recently gave birth to my beautiful baby Girl she is 2 and a half weeks old.
She is my second child, my eldest is 4.

This afternoon she started crying uncontrollably, nothing soothed her, it was relentless and continued for a few hours. We called nurse on call who advised we should go to ED or our regular paediatrician. Yes I get babies cry, but nothing settled her at all..and her cry changed and we too the nurse on call advice and went into our local emergency department.

The triage nurse was awful, she said what is with parents who can’t stand a baby crying ? Babies cry you know? I felt so small and humiliated in that moment. Yes this is a new baby and we’re still getting to know her, but also not our first child.

Anyhow turns out the paediatrician thinks it’s just colic, which I thought she was too young for but he said can occur anywhere from 2 weeks. My son never had colic so I didn’t know
Now I feel so stupid for going to the Emergency Department

Not sure what I want or why I posted but anyhow I did..

2 week old unnamed baby girl

Hi All

Needing some outside perspectives. We currently have a 2 week old unnamed baby girl that we are currently calling baby girl. Where we live you have 60 days to register the birth, originally I thought it was good thing as it gave us time to get her home and test out the names, some days either one of them feels they would be her name, other days none of them feels quite like her name.

We are in Australia if that matters

My partner and I were both raised by a single mums and have decided to use combinations of their first names (Rosemary and Leeann) to give our daughter the middle name Rosalee.

We also have a 4 yo son Ashton Gray Surname (Gray from Grayson my partners grandfather who he credits wirh making him the man he is)

Names we are considering with our daughter:

Eden Rosalee

Arabella Rosalee (not sure if siblings having a first same initial is an issue)

Jada Rosalee

Thoughts?
Thank you reddit
