someone please help me?

Question

okay look my daughter is 3 months old I took her to the doctor they said nothing is wrong with her. But for 2 weeks straight all she does is scream and cry. I try everything feeding her, bathing her (which works until I take her out), holding her, rocking her, anything and everything and nothing works. Could there be something wrong and the doctor just didn't see it? Oh when I took her to the doctors the doc said her ear was red but thats just from crying. I am so stressed I don't know what to do anymore

she is on similac advance with iron

okay to add more i had the doc look to she if she was colic and she said no that everything in her mouth was fine. and i do put her in the swing and yes everyday at 12 (noon) sharp is when she starts screaming and crying and doesn't stop and if she falls asleep crying then she will still kinda moan in her sleep. i have a portable swing that plays music and a bouncy that plays music and they used to work but not here lately. i even tried putting her on a new bottle. i used to use bg bottles but now i use a dr brown.
and yes very stressful i have 2 older boys and they never acted like this sometimes i just want to cry because i don't know what is wrong with her and it hurts me knowing she is hurting

Answer 1

If her ear is red and you're not happy with what your doctor has said to you, take her to see another doctor it could be and ear infection.

Trust your mothers instinct, it's usually right.

Answer 2

You poor mommy! That is very stressful. Did the doctor give you any advice? Yes, it's always possible that something could be wrong with your baby that the doctor didn't find. So, trust your instincts. Is she eating ok? Peeing/pooping? Sleeping?

Does she seem to cry at the same time? Often a colicky baby will cry for 2 or 3 hours every night at the same time.

Have you tried: Swaddling? Swinging? Shusshing and white noise? Pacifier? Side-lying? Those are the 5 S's, and you can read more about them or learn how to do them by getting the Happiest Baby on the Block video. Our baby had colic and this video taught us all the tricks on how to get her to stop crying and calm down and go to sleep.

Do you have a bouncy seat or a swing? Swaddle the baby tightly and put her in the bouncy seat or swing and swing it hard and fast! I had to rock my baby in the swing in a figure-8 motion. That was the only thing that would get her to calm down. They will show you how to do that in the Happiest Baby video.

Good luck!

Answer 3

She might have colic. A lot of babies get that and they will cry for hours. It's really hard on the parents as well as the baby. I would just give her a bath, since it soothes her when she starts up, and try rocking her and anything that she really likes that is soothing. Give her a gentle massage my 3 year old loves to have a back rub, and it really relaxes her. Good luck and dont give up. Before you know she will be running through the house getting into everything, check out baby center on the web

Answer 4

sounds exactly like my daughter, and she was colic. We had to by that expensive formula because something in my breastmilk bothered her and she couldn't talerate it. You should try it Enfamile Nutramogen. Like I said its expensive but SO worth the money. She was like night and day after that and it works right away. Because they are colic though she will have a few episodes from time to time. The docs didn't see it because it probably happens mostly at night right? or evening? Please give it a try she will feel so much better and you will get peace!!! It can't hurt, although my other suggestion is to buy the ready to feed stuff because the powder type in SOOO oily and that can't be good. Try it trust me IT WORKS like a charm!!!! Good luck oh and use Gas drops!! The syptoms will subside in 24 hours if you have any trouble or need more advice you can contact me [e-mail] COLIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOUTH

Answer 5

It sounds to me that she may be suffering from colic. You're daughter may have a dairy allergy, which would give her colic and also an earache. Go to the link below and read about dairy allergies, and also about home remedy for earache. Call her Dr. and ask if you can put her on a soy formula for awhile and see if that helps her. Also try putting glycerin on a Q-tip and roll around the opening to her ear, just enough to get some to drip down inside. I feel for you, my son had a dairy allergy when he was about the same age as your daughter and it's a nightmare trying to get the Dr. to understand. I had to put him on flat 7-up and mashed bananas for his severe diarrhea, he was on this diet for a few months!

Answer 6

she might have colic it can occur in babys go to a different doc and ask about it see if maybe she has it colic makes a baby cry 24/7 and im not sure but i think that it might be harmfull to her life, plz do check the doc u took her to could have missed something

Answer 7

Try putting her in her nip nap and setting her on top of the dryer and turn the dryer on. The motion put my girls to sleep. Also if you have a toy that plays music, put it in the crib with the baby, it should sooth her. If the baby is grabbing at her ear then I would say she had or has an ear infection and maybe get her checked again. Good Luck!

Answer 8

My daughter, who is grown now, had collic, and would scream her little head off, especially after a bottle. I called the Dr's office constantly, finally a nurse practioner in the office asked if I had tried Milicon infant drops. I immediatly went and got them, put a couple of drops in her bottle, and it worked. You can get them in any drug/pharmacy over the counter and they are safe. It's similar to Gas X, except for infants.

Answer 9

Get a second opinion. A 3 month doesn't scream for nothing, theres a reason. Go and bring her to a doctor ASAP, if the doctor says nothing's wrong, go to another just to make sure.

Answer 10

i worked for the united cerebral palsy agency years ago and there was this baby that cried 24/7 she didn't not have the control to stop herself from crying. what i did was got one of those big exercise balls and put her on it and bounced her gently and in a repetitious motion this calmed her down. it sound like your baby has colic.... make sure your burping her enough, and try swaddleling her in a tight blanket .....good luck
