why is my baby crying?

Question

for the past several evenings I have noticed that my baby has been very irritable, and she crys for several hours.....what could be the problem????

Answer 1

colic, diet, uncomfortable sleeping area, upset tummy, gas, or just wants momma!
babies go through different sleeping patterns as they get older.
my 9 month old slept through the night at 3 months..then all the sudden kept waking up every 2-3 hours for MONTHS!
just run through the common stuff. diaper, food, warmth/cold, comfort, gas, etc.
if it persists for more than a couple weeks I'd see what your peds doc says at her next appt.

Answer 2

Usually babies cry even when we have feed them changed them burped them ect.

Your baby is either sleepy, has colic or has gas problems or is constipated.

A great way to relieve all of these symptoms at once is a baby massage. starting with the belly.

Lie your baby belly up on a blanket in front of you and with open palms placing your hand in the middle of the chest under the chin and with that hand sweep all the way down to the bottom of the bellybutton with a light pressure; before you lift that hand up from the bottom of the belly start the same thing with your other hand never losing contact with the baby's body. Also if you want to relax your baby do the same thing with the babies arms starting from the shoulder to the wrist.

Also rub in a clockwise direction around the belly button to get the intestines moving in the right direction. Another one that helped my Son a lot is while they are lying on the ground belly up take the baby's legs together and bring his knees up to his belly button and then straight again and repeat this until you hear Little baby farts lol. Don't push to hard into the belly just a little pressure.

good Luck and hope that helps!!

Answer 3

How old is the baby? Is it possible that she is teething. This seems to bother them more at night. Try Infant's Tylenol and Hylands Teething Tablets (Available in Grocery stores in baby aisle) My son never like the frozen teething rings...he threw them on the floor so the tables worked great. He slept through the night. Also Baby Orajel makes a night-time gel that work great.

Answer 4

if she is crying the round about the same time every night it proberbly is colic but take her the doctors if you think this dont just go out and by medication ask your doctors advice first in the mean time try winding her different ways if you rub then tap her back and change her position while do this lie her over your knee then lift by your shoulder this dose help also if it is colic shell be bringing her knees up and dont be too worryed if shes sick if you do get a big ball of wind up take care

Answer 5

Can be several reasons, if your ever hesitant call your doctor or go to the emergency room. The baby sounds like she has colic, or is allergic to milk. Anyway, if you ever have any questions, please call your doctor. Or go to the emergency room. My little girl actually needed to have food at 2 months, the milk was not filling her up enough. Good Luck with her and call your doctor.

How old is your baby ?If she is an infant she might have colic. You should consult a doctor and see if she has any ear infections or nasal congestion - another reason why babies cry.

You're baby could have Cholic so I would advise you to talk to your pediatrician about it and just keep tending to your baby until they start to calm down. Just have patience with your baby and it will be allright.
