whats wrong with my baby?

The exact same thing happened to my son when he turned 4 months. After several trips to the pediatrician, we never did find out what happened. All of the doctors we saw put it down to 'colic', whatever that is. He really looked like he had stomach pains so we would spend all day helping him to degas. We treated him for silent reflux, but to this day, I'm still not sure that was it. I don't think it was stomach either, because when he saw something he found very interesting or we took him to eg. the shops, the screaming would suddenly stop.

I believe that it was because he was going through a development spurt and this always makes it so much harder for him to transition to sleep, resulting in overtiredness and overstimulation. Also, I believe that he was cranky and it was just part of his natural personality to shout and scream when he was unhappy or uncomfortable.

We ended up treating him for colic and reflux and just holding him a lot, going for walks outside, going to the shops to distract him. Something which really helped to get him to sleep at night was holding him and going for a walk outside until he was almost asleep.

At the end of 5 months he started to be able to roll around a lot, and we noticed that he did not have the bouts of screaming any more. The more he could move the less he screamed and cried. When he started cruising at 8.5 months he hardly cried at all and when he stopped crawling at 11 months he was this very happy pleasant baby (yet still strong personality and bossy). He is now 20 months and can speak in fairly grammatically correct sentences and I think it has to do with his 'driven' personality.

Teething could be it, or overtired, or gas, reflux, overstimulated, growing pains or development spurt. For sure, get your baby girl checked out for all these things. But, I think there is more to it. I think it has to do with strong personality, crankiness and frustration.

Could be a growth spurt? My little boy used to want to feed every three - four hours through the night and during growth spurts every two hours.

Teething would also upset her and cause additional waking. You can expect teeth any time from now on.

RE Colic: Have you tried raising the bed head slightly? A phone book under the two head-end cot legs will help keep her milk down as the stomach opening can often be undeveloped until they are older (6 months???) and so this might help ease any stomach acid coming up.

Also check your burping technique - burp before and after a meal. There are some great suggestions and techniques on line that you can try such as putting baby well up over your shoulder so your shoulder is on the bottom of her rib cage... the colic hold... etc.

Sometimes my little fella also just wanted company at night (particularly if he was teething) so we would bring him into bed every now and then with his head up high between where our pillows are (the pillows would be well separated). No it doesn't mean that she will be in bed with you when she is seven! As adults, we like to sleep beside someone, so why wouldn't babies want to 'co-sleep' as well?! It is actually a modern concept to separate babies from their mothers into a separate bassinet / cot... remarkable, but true!

So long as you or your partner are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and you are not smokers or overweight and (ideally) if you are breastfeeding then this is safe... but seek out some further advice on this so that you can make an informed decision. Firm mattresses etc are also important... but do your own research and see what works for you.

But hey, it could be just your burping technique or a growth spurt or you may never know what it was... but I hope this gives some further ideas that might work?!

I dont know what is wrong but just wanted to give my support! Get some help from friends or family if you get sleep deprived. This wont last for ever and i hope she goes back to normal sleeping patterns soon. Perhaps having a sleep routine were she is very calm has a warm bath and a big feed before bed.

Your midwife did not degree your toddler at present. It became your uterus that became measuring at 37cm. Many midwives do no longer attempt this length because it truly is notoriously 'off' and can provide unpredictable outcomes. oftentimes your uterus might want to degree the fashion of weeks pregnant you're. even if, measurements might want to correctly be off from the placement of the toddler or perhaps how significantly better weight you're wearing. I measured 31cm at 36 weeks very last week, I have a test day after today to ascertain on my toddler's length. this may supply a better accruate studying of your toddler's length and optimistically placed your options at relax. keep in options some toddler's are in simple terms higher than others and thats ok! solid success

I personally think that she must be teething, sometimes the gums can be really hard and it's difficult for the teeth to come through. Don't worry, it will pass. If it continues though, take her to the doctor again and make sure they check her thoroughly. Better to be safe then sorry. Good luck!

I feel there is nothing very serious. It may possible that she has worm in her stomach. If she feeds every 4 hours then it may possible. Tell your doctor about this and if possible start a protein syrup and iron syrup but before taking an advice from your doctor.

She probably has a lil gas still, or is teething.

Try bonjela could be sore gums was with my daughter

When teething, babies sometimes get red cheeks.
