Is there such a thing as the 4.5 month colic?

Stick out tongue

Seriously, though, this little baby will NOT stop crying! She cries in my arms for 20-30 minutes. She's not hungry, she's not wet, she's clearly exhausted, but she refuses to sleep! She won't calm down, she won't be my usually happy smiley baby, she just screams and fusses. I think it's teething. She has to be in some kind of low-grade pain all the time or something. My poor girl.

    It's probably teething. Mine is having a tough time with his right now and it breaks my heart. I get so mad and just PRAY his tooth comes thru. Try gripe water, it seems to help him with it.

    When DS got like that turned out he had an ear infection (only other symptom was a cough, no fever, no pulling on the ear, nothing).  It could also be teething, they can teeth on and off for months before a tooth breaks free.  Try giving her some tylenol, if she calms down after that then you know that something is hurting her.

    Sorry, I should clarify. I *know* it's teething. She's got two teeth broke in and two more straining at the bit. It's just been going on for weeks and it's messing up the schedule I spent the first part of this month getting her on! This was mostly a  vent, and an AW about my poor napless munchkin.

    We had an entire MONTH where she was cranky and I figured she was teething and didn't know what was wrong. Sometimes I did have to give her some pain reliever and it did help. Now we're over it and still no teeth, so I'm thinking it must have been growing pains.

    This is both my twins right now. It's a fvcking disaster at my house. Naps have gone right to heII and the screaming between 4-630 when they get bathed and go to bed is ridiculous. I don't know how much more I can handle. It's awful and nothing seems to calm them down -- except bedtime. Well I can't really put them to bed at 4 in the afternoon. I give them Tylenol and Advil occasionally -- not sure if it makes a difference or not. I don't think they're teething, although I could be totally wrong about that. I'm clueless ... just dieing for it to get *better*.

    that's exactly what I'm dealing with. i'm so impressed you put them down at 6:30! my husband doesn't get home until 9, usually and he likes to put her to bed.

    My son has been really crabby too and wont sleep anywhere but in my arms.  I think its a mix of growing pains and possibly teething.  It seems like it started right after the 4 month shots. Hope she feels better!
