The 5 month old I started babysitting about 2 months ago screams all the time. I have over 10 years babysitting experience and am a child development major, so I like to think I know babies pretty well, but I've never seen anything like this. She screams, not cries, for 7 or more hours a day. Her face is bright red, the veins in her head are throbbing, and she writhes around, arching her back. She never naps and she only stops screaming to take her botttle. I have tried everything like burping her, holding her in all different positions, rocking her, walking with her, singing, playing classical music, putting her on a blanket on the floor on her tummy or her back, so on and so on...Nothing ever works. I know it isn't me because she does this with her parents, grandparents, everyone. They have had her checked out at the doctor, and she is fine.What could be wrong? Epilipsy? Mental Problems? Oh, and I don't know if it is relevant,but she sneezes at least 10 times an hour.
