WOW, today has by far been our worst day yet, i do not know what to do, he just keeps crying, iv tried everything, im not giving him bottles because he seems to be starving!
Why wouldn't you give him a bottle if he's starving?
"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind."

Hes Bfed 99% of the time. and i pump to save.
I feel like there is nothing i can do to make him happy today, hes never been like this.
6 week growth spurt maybe?
six weeks was a tough growth spurt. Keep him on the boob...it'll pass!

Sounds like you have a good little growth spurt going! I've found there's nothing that can be done for them sometimes than to try and soothe them, make sure they are safe, and try not to let it stress you out. As long as you know you've fed him and changed him and he's not tired, you are ok! Dont worry-it wont last forever!
*Growth spurts only occur sporadically from birth to about 17-18
haveyou tried putting him naked on your bare chest? That and just leaving him alone are the two "last resort" options with DS. Sometimes he jsut is really fighting sleep and the warmth of my chest puts him out, and othertimes he just wants to be left alone.
I have a weird child. When he's really fussy I just put him in his bouncer seat and he happily babbles to himself and chews on his fingers for awhile. He's taken to being very offended by the toys that attach to his bouncer so I don't put them on anymore.
I hope you figure something out- I just want to cry when I can't figure out what's wrong.
HANG IN THERE LADY! It sucks, but it gets better. I hated hearing that from bumpies when I was going through it but it's the truth. This phase too shall come to an end.

Thank you all for the support, i just ended up sitting here crying with him at one point. Man, looking into his eyes and he looks like something is wrong and he does not know what it is either. Just killed me.
We did try the naked chest, and he ended up falling asleep on me for about 40 minutes, i slept to! thank goodness. he woke up fed, and i changed him and now he seems to be a little bit better. I hope this passes fast!
GL to the others who are sitting on the couch naked like me!! LOL!
Re: He will not stop crying!

That is probably what it is. I'm going through the same thing right now.
