My three month old baby is so grumpy!! He is constantly crying is not happy to sit in his swing or bouncer by himself for two seconds.. It is really hard as I have two other children, ages 3 and 1 who also need a lot of my time and when I cant put him down I am getting really stressed.. He is well fed, always clean and dry and sleeps really well, but he just doesnt seem happy when he is awake. I never had this trouble with my other two at all. How can I get him to just sit in his swing or rocker for 5 mins without screaming?? please help!!

Maybe he just needs a little extra loving right now? Have you tried putting him in a baby carrier (sling or pouch) and carrying him around in that. It's a good way to get some extra exercise, and I found that whenever my daughter was really fussy at that age it helped a lot!

maximum infants strengthen out of colic around 3 months, my first son replaced into like this and regrettably there is not any medical care if she is being grumpy for no reason then she is merely grumpy. the only ingredient you're able to do is practice her to understand that she would be able to no longer get interest every time she whinges, i recognize its quite difficult to forget approximately yet its the only ingredient that worked for me (in specific circumstances even that would not artwork) with any luck as quickly as she is up and around on her little legs she would be able to be plenty happier. My 2nd son replaced into the alternative luckily. they at the instant are 18 and sixteen and are the two very happy and loving sons so the ignoring the grumpy toddler as much as i could desire to bear did no longer do him any injury. good success

My trick was to put my son in a small hammock (cannot fall out) and play classical music every day around the same time for an hour (lunchtime) . After a few days he was hooked and virtually waiting for it. Also try to watch the sugar and bloating foods. give him enough (bottled) water, most babies do only get milk, tea and juice, all of it sweet...but often kids are borderline dehydrated very often which causes a slight headache and they can't tell you...good luck with the little one

Have you tried a wrap or a sling to wear your baby? Perhaps a Moby or a Gypsy Mamma wrap? They are both really good. They allow you to have your hands free so you can interact with your other children while allowing your 3 month old seem included and snugged close to Mom. Try Dr. Sears book they talk about the benefits to baby wearing.

Have you tried playing some music for him? My daughter was a grumpy child at points too..she didn't want to be put down but when I played some music for her she seemed to be happy, even if it was just for a short period of time. I've noticed that some babies just require a bit more attention sometimes, too. Another suggestion might be seeing his pediatrician. Maybe it's something else that's causing him to be so unhappy. Hope my advice helps..good luck!

Try getting one of those baby sling so you can have him with you and also have both of your hands free. Because if he's near you and can hear or feel your heart beat then it might help him relax more and help you.
And for yourself if you like green tea you might want to try drinking some of that. I do have to give it to you for someone who has three kids that are that age your one of those strong Moms that never give up. I thought my 7 year old and 1year old was a big job.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!
My 3 month old is right little nightmare. But then so was my 4yo son at this age.
I think the trick sometimes is to not let them get overtired!!! They really get cranky when overtired, so heed the tired signs and act on them. Mine will only sleep in his swing. Then betweet 5 and 10 each night, he cries and carries on, on and off the boob blah blah blah...
How do we do it? LOL
Take heart that you are not alone, and that while we stress about it, they grow up overnight!
Try a massage and definately look into chiropractic care...
