would you like to hear something that is totally annoying?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

We have been having problems with fussiness and an all around unhappy baby. We think we have narrowed the problem to a milk protein allergy and trying out some different formula.

Long story short, for the last few weeks my kid has been epically fussy, but especially so from 8-9pm until 12-1am. Welp the change in formula seems to be helping the day time fuss-fest. However every night when we try to put him to bed he will pass out for 15 minuets but then wakes up screaming and usually fusses until my husband and I fall down from exhaustion from trying to sooth him.

I mean the kid sleeps right next to me all night, the room is dark and comfy, and sleep is awesome, WTF kid, WTF.

    "WTF kid, WTF" is pretty extreme but yes it is frustrating. Thats what babies tend to do when they have a problem, cry until YOU start crying. Have you taken him to his Pedi? It could be something totally different that could go undetected. Good luck with LO

    It was a joke. 

    OMG I totally didn't think to take him to a pedi! Confused

    I am aware babies cry when they need something, and thought it was quiet obvious from my post we are trying to work through the reasons for his fussiness, hence the whole trying a new formula to see if it is milk protein allergy thing.

    I am sitting here with the blow dryer running next to me, with my kid in the Moby praying he will stay alseep, my post was a means to pass the time.

    Oo. You seem a tad bit mad. Didnt mean for that to happen. When you said "we" narrowed it down it did seem as if you meant your DH and yourself. Have you tried that gloworm or the seahorse everyone is raving about that soothes the baby?

    Sometimes babies cry to just cry. Of course do talk to your pedi about this but I wouldn't worry too much. If your trying everything to soothe him then you are doing an awesome job! The best thing you can do is just hold him while he's crying :)

    Good luck to you!

    We had the same experience, and I used to say WTF, kid ALL the time.  And a lot worse.  No one can understand how maddening it can be unless they've lived with a truly miserable baby.

    Turned out he did have a milk protein allergy AND acid reflux.  So now he's on Alimentum formula, and the doctor prescribed baby Zantac for the reflux.

    Life is much better now.  He's a happy, smiling baby now.
