This doesn't happen every single time, but my baby starts to cry when she's being picked up. I looked her over, (head, neck, shoulders, back) and nothing seems to be physically wrong with her.
However, when I slide my hand under her and she knows she's going to be lifted, she crys. If she's already crying, when I pick her up, she will sometimes cry harder.
What's wrong? Is it the sensation of being lifted? Does it just trigger more fussiness? Am I actually hurting her? Is she just releasing some energy?
I don't get it. It's not just when I pick her up (she does this when my hubby and mother pick her up too), and it's not just when I pick her up a certain way. Again, it's not EVERYtime someone picks her up either, but she seems to cry about it more often than not.
She settles down after a short time while I'm holding her, but it's pretty distressing in the meantime.
