My 6 month old cries all day and all night since she was born. Is she always going to be this moody?

Question

I am at my wits end with her. She is okay when we are out, but when we are home she cries all day. Will this ever end?

Thanks for the answers. I have taken her to 3 different dr's and they say there is nothing wrong with her.

Answer 1

1) Check into gas--go to the doctor. Is it reflux? Figure out WHY she cries?

2) There is an end, but you just have to figure out what is wrong. Is she not getting enough sleep?

Answer 2

Maybe she likes going out a lot. Try to take her out of en then take her to the park, for walk lit til baby love going to the park and for walk. At night before going to bed give bath and read her nice story book. And also check her with Doctor just in case if she have gas or colic problem. Or she might be teething already because baby usually start teeth in 6-7 months. Mine all three kids st rated teething in 6 months. Give her chewing cold rings and Tylenol for pain.

Answer 3

Oh, I feel for you. A few advices:
- check her for colic. If you are breast feeding, check out all the acids in your diet and drink a lot of boiled warm water. If she is bottle feeding, try the non cow milk formula (use goat or soy)
-There are great results with seeing an osteopath. I worked many years with children and really saw a huge difference. Try one with child and mother experience and a good degree. I guarantee you will find a difference.
-One of my bibles: The New Contented Little Baby Book: The Secret to Calm and Confident Parenting by Gina Ford it is really a bible, and it really works- talking from experience of years of working with children.

Lastly, do anything to relax yourself... Bath, book, yoga.
Good luck to both you and your husband

Mine did that and all the drs told me he was fine just colic no big deal but I knew it was more. So I took it upon myself (my insurance didn't need a referral) and took him to a pediatric gi specialist who informed me it was a milk protein allergy. Which is a massive difference than lactose allergy. If it is lactose you can go to soy and lactose free, nutramigen, and other specialty formulas, but with a milk protein allergy they have to have a prescribed formula. It made such a difference in my son. You may try that. If you want to e-mail me at [e-mail] you can to get more symptoms my son had. There is an end just be patient and follow your mother instincts.

Answer 5

Don't know what to tell you. Mine wasn't like that. I read someone wrote it could be gas. Are you taping on her back after feedings. To take out the gases. Is she getting enough formula or whatever it is you have her on. I ask that because I saw on tv that a baby was acting up. But it turned out her mother was breast feeding her and didn't produce enough milk for the baby. So the baby crying and carrying on was that she was hungry.

Answer 6

My niece used to cry like that constantly. They found out she had gas and also had to change her milk formula. She was perfectly fine after that, slept thru the night. Breastfeeding vs bottle may make a difference. Also i'm sure you've tried a pacifier.

Answer 7

Sounds like she's bored. Buy her a walker and some toys, and rotate them frequently. Keep her in the room as you're doing other things, and take frequent breaks to play with her.

Answer 8

Baby sounds colicky, Has she been to pediatrician?? You can buy gas pill that melt in babys mouth, You can get it at just about any drugstore or store. It's worth a try.

Answer 9

My daughter cried a lot too. Found out she was allergic to regular formula and had to switch to soy. I'd talk to her doctor.

Answer 10

Sounds like she has colic. If it isn't colic, it is just a stage. In time she will grow out of it.
