Answer 2

If you mean consistent, non-stop crying, not even for a minute, then your child is more than likely suffering from colic. Because I'm not a doctor I will not recommend any treatments, but I will tell you not to worry colic is treatable. See your child's pediatrician. In the meantime, try singing to the child, while walking and rocking the child simultaneously. Make sure your child is feed, his diaper is changed and the environment (your home) is a peaceful one. My 5 week old child cries a lot too. Crying is an indication that something is wrong (not always terribly wrong), but something is wrong. Babies loved to be carried around and sometimes it may take a moment or two before he calms down, but do you get impatient with him. You have to remember that he was in a nice warm, safe, environment before entering this world and things are different. When he starts to cry respond immediately. This will allow your son to gain your trust and don't worry about spoiling him just yet. As the other person answered too, make sure he is having normal bowel movements, which typically shortly after every meal. If all checks out then resort back to reason number one colic. To avoid colic, make sure your son is not drinking his bottle with air bubbles in the milk. Laying on his stomach while sleeping is a recommended no no, but as long as you are monitoring the child during waking hours then its fine, if it keeps him calm. JUST YOU DON'T FALL ASLEEP. Make sure he is warm also. A one month baby's system is still acclaimating to our environment. Keep is head covered as much as possible too. For this too can cause colic. That's all I can thing of right now.

Answer 3

Take the little one to a pediatrician, and get them to do a through work up, checking if there is anything physically wrong.
If that's given the all clear, then check these things.
The temperature (too cold, too hot).
Whether the clothing might be bothering him. Some baby's like to feel snug (well wrapped) and others prefer a bit more room to move.My daughter was allergic to conditioner and she would have a tiny pinpoint rash where ever the clothing touched.
What he's drinking (if on formula, it might not be the right one for him).
Does he have reflux (throw up often)? Then he might have to be fed smaller amounts more often.
Does he suffer from a lot of wind? Then you might check things like whether the teat and flow are right if you bottle feed, or if there's a better position if you breast feed. Never let the little one suck on an empty bottle that fills his tummy with air. Also there are wind dispersal medications for the little ones.
TAKE A BREAK. If this is all new to you, and you're feeling uptight and stressed, the little one can pick up on that and become stressed out too. Sometimes a short break with someone you trust looking after the little one can be all you need to find some balance. Please try this.
Have a check up yourself - the "Baby Blues" are a very real condition, caused in large part by the changing hormones, the changes that birth makes in your body, and the tiredness from tending the little one. There is help out there, and you deserve to have it.
You need to take care of yourself too, eat well, get a little exercise, and get out once in a while. A Happy Mum means a better parent.
Talk to your Maternal and Baby Health Care Worker to find out some other tactics that might help.
And know this - you are not alone.

Answer 4

First, hang in there! This can be totally normal in some babies and most of the time they grow out of it. Remember if you are getting very frustrated, put him in the crib and step out side for a few minutes (3-5 min) to get a breath of fresh air. Also remember to sleep when he sleeps. Something that might help:
1. try swaddling him really tightly.
2. walking while rocking him can sooth
3. talk to your pediatrician about the formula you are giving him possibly causing bad gastro issues. It might be as simple as changing types. If you are nursing, look at what you are eating. Some babies have sensitivities to dairy, wheats, grains or other things. For example, I couldn't eat tomatoes while nursing.
4. Do you have a friend or family member that can come and help for an hour or two?
Other then that there is not much you can do. Sometimes babies just cry..... all the time. Hang in there and remember to take care of you. If you are stressed and upset, babies sense that. They really can sense it. Hang in there.

Answer 5

First, you should believe that it will get better. It really does but it seems hopeless at the time.
You child may have food allergies. You do not mention if you baby is being breastfeed or otherwise. My wife would eat some foods that just set our son off! particularly Broccoli.
Our son was really tough to take those first 6 months but he is 17 years old and a nice guy. If you are breast feeding, try to keep a log book of what has been eaten and any change in baby's behavior.

Second, we took turns not getting sleep. We set up his room at the far end of the house and who ever was up would be up to take him in the night, while the other wore earplugs.

Third, we used simethcone for gas, which was a constant problem with our son.

Fourth, take to your pediatrician and as for some help or advise.

Good Luck.

Answer 6

This was similar to our 5 week old. It's very upsetting. We used baby zantac, and mylicon drops, and keep baby's head well elevated after feeding for at least half and put a wedge to elevate the crib. It has changed our lives. Of course we had to convince our pediatrician that this was not just normal crying but once he prescribed zantac and suggested mylicon everything got better. We were resistant to try a strong medicine, so our ped suggested mylanta. we didn't use mylanta but it may be a good alternative. Good luck.

Answer 7

Look, you are going to hate me for saying this, but I have been a nanny for years, and I have cared for several different ages of children. You need to get over it. You are the adult, he is the child. He is hormonal, hes 13! This is how teenagers act. Im sorry if I sound like a *****, but you are the one who needs to mature in this situation. If you were more mature and understanding of the way hormonal 13 year olds can act sometimes, then this would not be an issue and you would be able to handle the situation without grabbing his arm or covering his mouth. You should not care for this boy until you learn how to handle things properly. No offense.

Answer 8

The risks of lying on the stomach for babies has been highly overrated, and they keep changing their minds about which is the right way!
If he likes to sleep that way, let him, just don't have really thick blankets or stuffed animals in bed with him. He'll be fine.
As far as what else you could do, if any other problems have been ruled out (I assume you have been back to the Pediatrician to ask) it's surprising how well light Chiropractic treatments help cholicky infants and how quickly. Get one from your insurance website (not the phone book). Best luck.

Answer 9

Please read the book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Harvey Karp. It has a lot of useful information. It sounds like your baby may have colic. You may also want to start using Gripe water, such as Colic-ease or Baby's Bliss. Both are homeopathic remedies and eases colic and gas issues. We have used it with our little one and he seems to enjoy it and we think it helps.

Good Luck!

Answer 10

When my son was two months I took him to his check-up and his doctor called him a "guzzler". He eats to fast and inhales air into his stomache. So to help with the bloating and gas I got him Gripe Water from Walgreens, it was about $11 but it helps with a lot more than just bloating and is completley harmless! And my baby seems to like the taste (its peperment) I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Answer 11

sounds like colic, try some gas drops for infents if that dont work take him to the Dr. but if its colic nothing they can do it usually subsides at 4-9 months I heard, i never had to deal with that but try some gas drops you can put them in his bottle, they are safe use as directed! good luck you must be in a living hell with that, its hard!
