Babies: 0 - 3 Months

help... DS SCREAMS for food but then only eats for a couple minutes

Its driving me nuts - what do I do?  Paci doesn't help.  being swaddled doesn't help.  Rocking doesn't help.  He screams till I pick him up and then tries to suck my face off.  So I figure he's hungry.  So I give him my boob and sucks for a few minutes and sort of tapers off.  Then he usually nods off for a few minutes and then he screams again.  :(:(  I've tried to put him to sleep but then again with the screaming... :(  Help.

  • I think my DD is just overtired.  She is down right.  Hopefully it will stay that way.

     I think overtired is a good guess. Btw, your DD is adorable!

  • this was our story until it got to the point where she would scream and twist every time she had a few sips (she's ff). now we're in the hospital trying to diagnose either reflux, a milk allergy, or something else. i'm sure it's nothing too bad, but see your pedi if it doesn't improve.
  • Well, I'm glad to see I'm not alone on this... :)
