Arabella has been amazing...she never fusses...well until this morning...and now tonight...I SWEAR she doesn't even know why she is crying/whining....it's like she enjoys hearing herself cry/whine...ohhh dear lord...and it will be a high pitch, then a wimper...then a sob...with NO tears...sooo I don't know what is going on! (I am not complaining..she is a good baby...I just need some advice...from mom's who have done this before!!!)
I've tried it all...holding her, swing, feeding, changing diapers....the mat, belly time, bouncing, bathing...
ANDDDDD it is not constant....she will just stop...and then start....and then stop....
PLEASE tell me what to do so my non-fussy baby will come back!
Love your friend....the very exhausted new mom....
Oh Sweetie!!! I'm so sorry!! If I had to guess I would say colic or gas - but that's a guess based on what I've read here on your blog. My babies used to do that occasionally and I know it's exasperating just cause it's so hard to resolve. Keeping her tummy warm should help - Mylacon is also useful. I used to put my babies up against me so their tummy was directly against my chest, for warmth and then walking until my legs fells off.

I'm new to your blog so I don't know how old she is, but like the PP said, it sounds a lot like gas. With both my girls, I had a lot of success with the 5 S's from the Happiest Baby on the Block--swaddle, suck, sway, side/stomach, shush. When my 1st was colicky, walking her around in the Baby Bjorn was the only thing that would soothe her. Good luck! Take heart in the fact that at this age, they change really fast, and what seems like an endless time right now will seem like a blink of an eye in a few months. Just enjoy it and take a billion pictures!

Oh no!! Maybe it's just temporary... Maybe trying giving her a nice warm bath and see if that helps. Or rubbing her belly counter clockwise with a little bit of baby oil or baby cream... sometimes they won't show that something is up but there is some sort of discomfort going on. (even without the tears!)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope she sleeps well for you tonight :)
I have nothing to say about this besides please remember what my child was like at her age, then look at your baby and smile. =) haha
