This "grey" fussy period is killing me

Ok so I've got a pretty chill lo. He has slept through night since 4 1/2 months. He rolls with whatever schedule let's anyone hold him etc. The last few night he screams bloody murder when I leave the room. The bump said not to rush back in etc but it's killing me. He's not a big crier so I always think when he's crying he's really upset. Any support suggestions would be helpful

    I had the same experience.  My LO does really good with independent play but there were a few weeks when he wanted me in his sight 24/7.  At bedtime I would stay in the room or next to the crib and comfort him but only picked him up when he got upset.  If he was just grunting or fussing I wouldn't intervene, just stand or sit with him.  It worked for both of us.

    We got teething, grey period and a nasty cold all going on at once. I am so going to go crazy before anything else gets added.

    Teething? When my baby is about to pop a tooth he'll have a few nights of crying often throughout the night. Object permanence is supposed to be kicking in.

    He got two teeth 3 weeks ago but still chewing on everything so maybe more teeth soon.

    DD was doing this also.  She cried like her feelings were hurt, not that she needed a bottle or diaper change.  I just picked her up and rocked for a few minutes and set her back down. Once in the crib she rolled to her side and sucked her thumb and I rubbed her head and back until she closed her eyes.  This went on for two weeks and she's out of that phase now.
