Question

ive asked before but nutttin seems to work....ive taken ma kid to th drs she 5 months but nothings rong with her, i feel stupid askin the pc ive asked EVERYONE but nothings helping..................................
she crys all night n dont eat or nething, her mum lft her to me, is it dat she dont like me? ive only had her for 2 weeks n a bit

Answer 1

She's probably confused. She has some sort of seperation anxiety. Poor baby :'( It's not that she doesn't like you....she's just not used to you. Once she figures that you are the mother figure in her life, she'll love you to death.

Answer 2

You know, my kid cries uncontrollably when he has gas. Is she farting? Give her BABY gas medicine. Also food allergies can make a baby cry. Try eliminating one thing at a time for 3 days, if on the 4th she is still crying then try eliminating something else. Rice cereal really hurt my boy. He couldn't handle it until he was 7 months old. What are you trying to feed her anyway? I assume you know to give her formula only - NO Cow's milk or dairy products! No eggs, no strawberries, Honey causes botulism so none of it, no peanut products.... Avoid all the things that are the top allergies in adults.

Was her mother breastfeeding her? Have you had your baby tested for drugs? Maybe she is going through withdrawal of both the breast and the drugs in it. You know my baby won't take formula b/c he is breastfed.

Either way I know at 5 months it would have been traumatic for my son if I had disappeared.

It's only been 2 weeks, although I know it seems like an eternity. Time will settle her down.

And don't give up going to the doctor's! I've already had one doctor tell me nothing was wrong when my baby stopped eating and starting getting fussy. I waited one week got pissed and took him to a Different doctor and found my baby has Thrush. If your baby has a white fuzzy tongue and white patches on the inside of her cheeks then that's what she has too.

I thought about you all this last weekend. I send you lots of loving energy and hopeful thoughts. Are you anywhere near Ventura, California?

Answer 3

I may be some withdrawals. Try not getting upset and hold her close and talk to her softly until she calms down. Remember babies can since when we are nervous, upset, and/or angry. Try wrapping her tight while holding her. Things will get better. Maybe she has colic or reflux. Try giving her a bath then a bottle when she gets this upset---this calms my 5 month old down. I think its great that you took her in. It may take a little time but she will adjust and thing will get better. It seems like you are already a good parent to her because you asked this question. When she is older she is going to love you for being there for her. Good luck and best wishes.
Parenting is a wonderful and rewarding experience. You and the little one are in my prayers.

Answer 4

Definitely separation anxiety and perhaps teething or colic. Mine were a nightmare at this age and we only had teeth to deal with.
Get onto your health visitor, usually contacted through the Doc's surgery, becuase they will give you so suggestions to make you feel as if you really CAN do this!!
She doesn't hate you she's totally confused and probably sore if it's teething.
Remember that some children do just cry for no specific reason!

Answer 5

First of all, babies cry. They just do. People with babies always look tired... that is why. My daughter is nearly 4 and my son is just 2 and I haven't slept well in years. Just so you know it is normal.

Having said that I wanted to ask are you giving your baby formula? She should be drinking quite a lot of progress formula at this stage. She could be thirsty. You really do need to call your health visitor to make sure she is getting the right fluids and the right food... you are at the weaning stages but if you have no information about this you need to get some.

She could be thirsty, hungry, dirty, wet, cold, hot, colicky, needing a cuddle, over-tired... but in this situation I am sorry to tell you but she is missing her Mum. This will ease in time as she gets more used to you. Try and just relax as much as you can, as kids pick up on your stress so easily. Also try and give her as much love as you can, no matter how fed up you feel.

Try and get as much rest as you can when she is resting in the day, if you can. People always said this to me and I know how hard it is when there are so many other things that need to be done, but sometimes you just need to rest when you can.

Good luck... but please do call a Health Visitor. If you don't have their number, you will be able to get it from your doctors surgery.

Answer 6

Your not stupid for asking hun, it's great that you are trying to get some help...babies feel it when your upset ..or nervous or uncomfortable , angry, confused,,it's not that she doesn not like you...she would be missing her mummy and wuld be confused by the sudden change ... babies know it..and they respond by getting upset themselves.. gotta try and relax with her, get her into a routine that suits both of you and she will settle right down.stay calm and positive . maybe take her for a walk , holding her, talk softly to her and point to things and tell her what they are...just baby chit chat, she will listen to everything you say, smile at her all the time.. then when you get home , give her a nice bath, and try feeding her then, if you can get some sort of routine like this everyday, she will feel so much more relaxed ... and settle right down... all the best to you and baby.

Answer 7

Oh my lord, that must be awful for you, and your baby, you MUST get help, I wish I lived nearer I would love to help out1
I am sure the baby does know DISLIKE you, she is probably hungry or something, babies do not cry for nothing, certainly not because they don't like someone. She probably would enjoy being held rather then left. But you must get some help, there has to be some females about that could advise you??
This poor little soul is looking to you for help, go get it.

Answer 8

you need to phone a health visitor. The baby will cry and needs cuddling, this fixes 80% of crying.

What are you feeding her, when?
do you have a routine?
what is she doing now?
What are the reasons you have her?

IM or email me if you are really stuck.

And she does not feel abandoned by her mother, she is too young to even realise she has gone.

There are loads of people out there who can help you make this work.

Is there a reason you haven't seen the health visitor?

Answer 9

What state are you in? If you are in Everett or near there I have a friend that may help you. Her daughter has a child and she takes care of her friends child but I could ask her to help you. I will help by sending her some money every month but I would expect you to pay something too. Contact me if you are near there and I will contact my friend and see what she says.

I am in the UK
