why is she crying!!

special_kala · Nov 10th, 2009, 16:08 PM

I dont understand why my lo is crying hystericly.

Nothing i do is stopping it, if i pick her up she crys, if i out her down she does the same!

I dont think its colic as she isnt oulling her knees up, actually she kicking out like she is having a tantrum

im going crazy im sure of it

atm she is just laying in her moses basket screaming

This happened a couple of times with Ruby at your LO's age - OH and I were very confused. It was often that she wanted more milk than usual for some reason and was still hungry. Or she was overtired and that seriously makes babies scream.
It sounds like your LO may be overtired or overstimulated (what was happening when the crying started?)

sorry double post...

she was happily sitting on my lap but yawned twice so i thought oh better settle her down to sleep and soon as i tried she started screaming. she will take her dummy for about a minute then start screaming again. shes been like it since 7 (her last bottle) im pretty sure its not wind as she did a big burp after and has done a poo today so shes not bunged up.

i can feel myself getting angry but i know its not her fault

Have you tried feeding her? Taking the dummy then screaming sounds like hunger to me, I'm sorry I'm sure you've tried that but just thought I'd say it anyway.
It's frustrating isn't it when they're upset and you just can't work out why. It's hard not to feel irritated.

Ok hun go out of the room breat and count to 10

Are you sure she isnt hungrey?

Maybe try winding her just incase because we had this with aidan and his legs werent going up but in the end he actually burped

Also when aidan used to get like this OH used to take him for a walk in the oram the fresh air calmed him down and being wrapped uo nice and warm in his pram made him feel really safe and warm, and he would be gone to the world within 10 mins

Not cold is she? Ruby was refusing her nap this morning and getting upset until I realised she was a bit chilly...

special_kala · Nov 10th, 2009, 16:26 PM

I tried giving her a bottle but she just held it in her mouth and ended up choking.

it sounds horrible but i just put her in her moses basket and let her cry for 5 minutes and came in and gave her the dummy. did it twice and she has settled slightly but is starting to get worked up again. I know she is to young for controlled crying but im getting so frustrated.
