Just put her in her crib, and shut the door.

Answer 2

Try a pacifier. It sometimes does the trick, probably by helping to soothe and calm your baby.

• Place your baby, tummy down, on your knee or on a hot-water bottle wrapped in a towel (or cooled to a temperature that causes you no discomfort when held against the skin of your wrist). Rub or pat your baby's back, which may help relieve some of the pressure in her stomach.

• Pick your baby up, talk to her, rock her, or swaddle her. Granted, it's not always rewarding to be close to a screaming baby, but sometimes simply touching your baby will do the trick, and it's important to be there to comfort your child. You can also try placing her, securely, on a running clothes dryer — the motion is often soothing.

• Carry your baby. Some colicky infants simply prefer to be picked up. If this seems to be the case with your child, invest in a baby sling or front pack and tote her around with you.

• Take a shower with your little one: The rhythmic beating of the warm water has been known to soothe many an irritable infant.

• Try a change of atmosphere. It may help to take your baby for a walk, either in the stroller, a sling, or a front pack. The fresh air and rhythmic movement of walking may calm her and allow her to fall asleep.

• Keep a diary of your child's day, noting everything she does and what you did in response. A pattern should emerge. If you notice that your child becomes a screaming banshee right before nap or bedtime and you've been rocking her to sleep, it's possible that you're overstimulating him with all the movement. Try putting her in her crib when she looks tired.
• Once you've fed, burped, changed, and otherwise tended to your child's needs, it's okay to put her in her crib for a few minutes — even if she is crying piteously — so you can take a break. Having a little time out will help you maintain your nerves (and sanity). Spouses should spell each other, or you can hire a babysitter for a few hours.

I hope this has helped your out a little.. Good Luck

I would say colic, my son had colic, it is so stressful I know exactly what you are going through. Lay her on her belly sometimes that helps, my son liked the sound of the running bath water so he got alot of baths. Try the vacuum, it does get better trust me, although right now it will seem like it won't end. Sometimes you just need to let her cry. I would set my son in the swing and he would cry for a while, not long maybe five mins so I could regroup. We also had a mobile that played music and he liked to look at that alot. Hang in there, we had to switch our son to soy milk, they say this is better for babies with colic, not so hard on their bellies. We used Nestle Good Start Soy milk, a little spendy but it works, not so gassy.

Good Luck, try your doctor again and ask them about the soy milk and switching her over and any other suggestions they may have.

Answer 4

Try using a 4 ounce bottle of warm water, put in a peppermint candy like you get from restaurants, or a candy cane, shake the bottle a little, you don't want to dissolve the mint you just want it to flavor the water a bit, take the candy out.(you don't want it too strong) Then dim the lights, and play some low mellow music while you feed her some of the mint water. This soothes their tummies if it is upset. Or try putting her in the car seat or a baby carrier, and put her on the dryer, it works like the car. Most important keep yourself calm they, can sense your nerves and emotions. I would also take her to the doctors asap, they can tell you if she is teething, or if she is sick, like an ear infection. Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

I would definitely look for a new doctor. You should call them repeatedly every 10 min if you have too until they return your call. I would start now. If you get no results call the hospital and take the child to the emergency room just in case something is wrong. It can't hurt to be sure. Make sure you stay with the baby in case something is wrong that way you will know if something is happening. I would call and call and call until someone returned my call. Keep trying or go to the emergency room.

Answer 6

take her outside under a tree so she can look at the leaves blowing, try the cradle hold, putting her belly down on your forearm, with your other arm underneath, and rock her, put her in a basket on top of the washer (not unattended of course), put her in a bouncy seat in front of the dishwasher and let it run a cycle, sing "shoo fly, don't bother me". If you get too frustrated, put her down in a safe place, leave the room for 10-15 mins, turn up the music, or pick up the phone and call someone. Best of luck. If this happens around the same time every night and doesn't stop, and you use formula, try switching to soy after talking to your doctor.

Answer 7

Get another doc first thing. Second, sounds like colic. Try soy formula. Go online and see if there is a nurse helpline at your local hospital they might be able to guide you over the phone and almost all are there 24/7 to help.

I wish you all the luck!

Answer 8

dont know how old she is, my son became colic-y at 3 months but he was literally screaming. but it did not last very long- i had to switch formulas and that helped. make sure she doesnt have a fever, and is not in pain. maybe she is just constipated or teething, or even just over tired- alot of times a baby will cry if they get overtired. if she has been up for a very long time, she may have to just cry herself to sleep. holding her is the best, most soothing thing for her, especially if you could rock her in a rocking chair. does she use a pacifier? maybe you could dip it in whiskey and sugar. If all fails, there should be a nurse hotline to call- do you have a patient-first near you? you could talk to a nurse there, or even a hospital nurse- sometimes just talking to someone can calm you and the baby might calm down if you can. Best of luck!

Answer 9

I just had my second baby 4 days ago and he does the same thing the first night home he cried and cried all night and then the same thing the second night at first i thought he was colic but i think the formula gave him gas and stomach aches i switched his formula to something else and he seems to be alot calmer maybe you can try that

Answer 10

Well first I'd get a new doctor..one that actually responds to patients. The baby may just have colic (which just means constant crying) Or it may be gas which many babies suffer from. If you are worried that it may be something serious call the ER or bring him/her in for an evaluation.

Answer 11

The try the vacuum or put the tv on a channel with just snow on it.... sometimes the white noise helps. Have you looked for sores in her mouth? my nephew did the same thing.... he would not eat and just scream at the top of his lungs... he had hoof and mouth disease.. and it was little sores that were on his tounge and throat. They hurt him to swallow so he was hungry but did not want to drink his bottle because it hurt him.you can also try to give her some gas medicine for babies. i cant think of the name... but it might be gas pains that have passed beyond the area that they can be burped out. I hope it helps
