Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Help [kinda long]

Lately DS has just been so fussy and I don't know why.

For the past few days he won't be awake for more than a few minutes before he starts screaming.  I've tried nursing him, he just cries into my boob, the swing, he loathes the moby wrap, nothing seems to work.

Then he will look so tired like he wants to go to sleep but he'll just cry instead.  When he does fall asleep his eyebrows are all furrowed like he's hurting and he'll wake up in his sleep and cry and then fall back asleep.  

I thought maybe it was gas but burping him and Mylicon didn't really seem to help much.  I just don't know what could be wrong and I want to be able to help him feel better but I feel like everything I do just makes it worse.  :(

He wasn't very needy in the beginning, had no problem falling asleep on his own, etc., But every know and then we would still take naps with him on my chest but now he doesn't even like sleeping on my chest.  It seriously feels like he hates me which I know sounds stupid because he's just a baby but it's like he doesn't like being close to me.  I'm just at a loss and don't know what to do. 

He just turned 1 month on Thanksgiving if that makes a difference.  Any help?  Please?

  • I would call the doctor.  Maybe he has colic, but I have no idea what you can do about it.  I'm guessing you've tried swings and vibrating bouncy seats too? I don't have much advice except to call the doctor.

  • Gripe Water?  Its for hiccups and colic.  I give it to DS to get rid of his hiccups sometimes.  It soothes their stomachs...its got some natural things in it.  Avail at BRU.

  • I've dealt with this.  I finally turned on the vacuum long enough that he was able to calm down, then I offered him my breast.  He was able to take it when he wasn't so worked up.  Try LOUD white noise.  Don't give up!
