My 4month old continually cries like 4 /7 days a week.He has done this since birth.?

Answer 1

have you had its hearing checked ?

Goddaughter was born deaf- no one knew it
baby cried continuously 24/7 since it was unable to be comforted with soothing words

Answer 2

My oldest daughter would cry and cry for hours every night. It stopped when she was about 4 months old. I tried everything, and the doctor didn't see anything wrong either. I don't know if you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding but I had to feed my daughter formula and the only thing that helped her colick was ready made Similac - the kind that you don't have to add water or mix at all. That didn't make it completely go away either. I feel for you! This is no fun for you or the baby to go though! If you need to put the baby down in his or her crib and take a break from the crying it's ok. There is a lot of good advice people have given you, give those other things a shot too.

Answer 3

My baby hasn't gone a day without crying since birth. He's 13 months old. Aside from "mama", "dada", and "nana" (nursing), he doesn't have any other way to communicate.

I'm not sure exactly what the question is. Is your baby crying for an extended period of time (an hour or more) four or more days a week? It's possible your baby has colic. Is your baby formula-fed? He may be uncomfortable if the formula is upsetting his stomach and you may need to change formulas. Is he crying after eating? He may have reflux. Is it the same time of day every day? (colic) Or, maybe he wants to be held a lot (some babies need this more than others) and he's crying when you put him down but happy when you are holding him. There are so many possibilities. Give us some more details to work with and we'll try to answer your question better!

Answer 4

It sounds like he has a bad case of Colic. I feel for you honey but my son was the same way . He cried all day and night for about 5 months. Eventually it got better..but I still remember being exhausted and him up all night crying and i would cry right along with him. Talk to your pediatrician and just be sure he is not sick but my guess is it is Colic they do cry a lot when they have it. Hang in there it does get better gradually. Good luck.

Answer 5

It may be the condition they call "colic". Doctors still do not understand it. My oldest had colic and was given medicine for gas, but the medicine didn't work. He grew out of it. My youngest gets fussy in the evenings, and is even fussier if she doesn't get a good long nap in the afternoon. This evening fussiness is suppose to go away as she gets older.

Another possibility is an allergy to their formula (if he is not breast fed) is giving them stomach cramps. Ask your pediatrition their recommendation of formula change.

If your child is otherwise healthy and is growing as he or she should be, I wouldn't worry. I know it frazzles your nerves. Just keep your head together and know that if it is just colic, he'll grow out of it.

Answer 6

You need to speak to the pediatrician about this. My baby pretty much cried all day and most of the night. She was very colicky it seems. She also got teeth very early. It was very difficult to sooth her . Thankfully there was nothing wrong with her health, just a very fussy girl.
Speak to your pediatrician about this. He may have some kind of reflux or needs to eat more, or even less. I feel for you. Good luck.

Answer 7

it sounds like your baby has colic. my daughter had it mildly. all you can really do for him is soothe him. Mylicon can work but it isnt totally effective for colic. Try walking him. I would put my daughter in her car seat, take her in the bathroom, set the car seat on the floor and run the bathwater. the loud and constant sound is usually very soothing to a baby. also try stripping him down to his diaper, take your shirt off lay down and put him on your stomach, tummy to tummy, and pat him on his butt. the warmth of your body heat along with the patting can help get rid of the bubbles in his belly. and the skin to skin contact is comforting to them. good luck!

Answer 8

You should have him checked out by a doctor. It could be something simple, or it could be something that would need some more serious attention.

Answer 9

could be anything. have you asked your pediatrician? my daughter had bouts of crying that lasted for nearly an hour once or twice a week, sometimes more, but by the time she was four or five months old, that had pretty much stopped. i have heard from several other parents that they've had similar problems, and their pediatricians all gave them different answers. anyone who tells you it's colic, and suggests a way to get rid of the colic, be careful what you try. 97% of colic has no diagnosable cause. in fact, colic is really just a kind of catch-all term that means, " the baby is crying and we don't know why." most people think of colic as having something to do with the stomach, and in 3% or so of cases, they may be right. think of it like this; the poor little guy can't talk yet, so if he needs attention he cries. he might want attention because he has pain, like from gas or upset stomach, he might want attention because he's bored (wouldn't you be if all you could do was lay there looking at the ceiling?), he could be too hot/cold, he could be lonely, he could have a tag in the back of his shirt or pants that's rubbing and itching (and wouldn't you cry if you had something like that going on for hours and you couldn't scratch that itch?), he could have been startled by something. one of my friends said that their pediatrician told them babies will cry because they have to make a poo, but they don't know how to use those muscles and MAKE the poo come out, they just have to wait for it to happen on its own. i don't know how true that may be, but it does sound logical, to an extent. there is the swaddling technique that seems to work really well to calm babies. if you wrap him snugly in a blanket, but not too tight, with his arms and legs against his body, it feels to him similar to what it was like in the womb,( and i'm sure you know there's not a whole lot of space in there!). after he is swaddled up in the blanket, you are supposed to lay him on his back in your lap with your legs next to each other and him in the center, head at your knees, his feet at your tummy, and jiggle him a little bit back and forth, the idea being that this is similar to the amount of motion he would've felt in the womb. you could also try laying him across your lap with his legs hanging down and his face laying on your leg turned towards you, and pat him on his bottom, regular rythym, and a very, very little bounce up and down with your legs. i did this and found myself sort of chanting in time with the panting and bouncing, just nonsense like,"oh,oh,oh,oh," or whatever, but i thought that the sound of my voice would help calm her too. i also found that the chanting thing while kind of waltzing and patting her back worked pretty much the same as the butt-patting. sometimes i didn't want to be sitting down, my legs would cramp from the bouncing. there is a thing that i've heard about rubbing or massging, get him down to his diaper and rub his back and tummy, arms and legs, not so much gentle stroking, but not like shiatsu massage, either. sort of like when you briskly rub your hands together if they're a little chilly, know what i mean? i never tried that, but if he IS itchy, i bet he'd like it! ultimately, if you are afraid there's something wrong with his health, take him to the pediatrician. otherwise, keep in mind that every time he cries like that, it will probably be for a different reason, so what works to calm him down one time, may not always work. be patient, it sounds like a normal baby thing to me, but if you find you can't calm him, put him in his room, close the door, and go wherever in your house you have to so the crying isn't that loud. don't go out of earshot, just far enough away that he's not blaring in your ear. if you get frustrated, he might pick up on it and just get worse. i did it all the time and it doesn't make you a bad mom if you let him wail away for 5-7 minutes in another room so you can get some relief. the last thing you want is get so frustrated you lose your control. i repeat LEAVING YOUR BABY CRYING IN ANOTHER ROOM DOES NOT MAKE YOU A BAD MOM! i think that a lot of these younger girls who end up shaking their poor little babies to death got to that point because they thought that they had to have that baby with them 24/7, and they wouldn't let themselves have a break. just don't leave him alone like that for too long; the longest i ever did it for was 10 minutes.one more thing you could check on: look behind his ears and see if there's any yucky crusties back there. i know it sounds gross, but when they lay on their back and drool, that's where it goes. i had my daughter late in life, and hadn't been around infants for such a long time that i had forgotten about this problem. if you do have that going on, don't try to rub it all off at once, it's essentially a drool scab, just wash gently back there after every time he wakes up, just a damp cloth.

Answer 10

call the doctor and ask them they will tell you what it is and what you can do about it. they may want to see him or they may not but i would call to be safe.
