Hysterical crying? (also posted on 0-3 months)

Hi mommies!

I'm hoping someone might have some advice. My baby is 2 months old and so far she's been a fantastic easy going baby. She never fussed unless it was for eating or a dirty diaper. Other than that she's been all smiles and little baby babble that I can't understand. However, this week she's gone from that to hysterically crying (HYSTERICAL) with nothing to console her except that she'll fall asleep after crying for so long. The only things that I can think of are:

1. She had her shots but its been 4 day since that happened so I'm assuming its no longer shot related.

2. Colic? I breast feed her every day except for the 2 days that I go to work. I'm going to try posting to see if anyone has any ideas for different bottles.

 I called the doctor this am and she said that it might be a virus so we are taking the baby in tomorrow just to see. But I figured perhaps someone else might have had something similar (I'm not sure if its indeed virus related).

    I know at only 2 months it might be hard to tell but is she showing any signs of belly pains? I think it was around that age I started realizing that whenever I would eat dairy DD would have awful gas pains...aside from the hysterical crying she would pull her knees up and you could just tell she was in pain.

    This could be it. The crying is so bad and it seems as if she's in pain.. I tried tylenol but she vomits directly after we attempt to give it to her :(

    The only time DS every cried and I couldn't console him, he'd picked up a virus....gastroenteritis, I think. It was just one bad night, though. I honestly don't remember how we treated it. I took him to the doctor the next day, and that's where he got the gastroenteritis diagnosis.

    Maybe she is just overtired? Bad days I had in the beginning with DS were usually due to him not sleeping well and he would cry hysterically. It's the only times it was hard to console him.

    Have you tried any gas drops? I know that when my DD had gas, she would constantly try to curl her little legs up to her chest.

    Has anything changed in your diet? I didn't breastfeed myself, but I know my SIL did and my nephew would get gassy when she added certain foods to her diet.

    Hope your little one feels better soon!

    I she just 2 months or 2 months and then some?  My guy only got hysterical crying at that age around growth spurts when he got hungry.  Around 8 weeks I had him on the boob nonstop for a couple of days - he was eating every hour/90 minutes.

    I am so sorry.  That is tough and so heartbreaking.  Some thoughts (also echoed above)....

    Are you breastfeeding?  I would try cutting out dairy.  And try some gripe water.

     My son was overtired a lot then (had such a hard time sleeping but needed it) and could only handle being awake in 90 minute spurts.  Also, there were a few growth spurt days where he needed to nurse like every 1.5 hrs.  Maddening but we got through it!

    Have you ever heard of the Purple Period of Crying?  It's a curriculum taught at the hospital I delivered at.  You can google it, basically, one of the interesting points is that fussiness/crying usually peaks at 2 months.  At 3 months, it was as if someone turned a key in my son and he was so much more content and calm.  

    See your pedi and hopefully it's nothing serious!
