okay so here I am with DD being 6 months old and things are some what the same.She is still screaming all day long she sill be happy for maybe a few mintues then the crying will start again.She is not gassy anymore and she is not archin her back anymore.I stopped burping her a about 3 weeks ago bc she wouldn't stat still anymore. sometimes she will burp on her own.Right now it's the crying she does all day long.
She does not have acid reflux bc we got her tested for that and she came back fine.She has a clean bill of health besides the crying that is going on but she has been crying sents she was 2 weeks old.Here she is 6 months and 2 weeks old and still crying.Most of the time if I pick her up she will stop crying.I dont if she was colicky at the begin and now she is used to me picking he up. Bc when she was little I used to pick her up when se cryed.I dont know what else to do. My house right now is very stress full bc of all the crying.
Do you think I should let her crying it out? This morning she cryed from 6am to 8am.From 7:30 to 8:00 I let her cry in her crib she didn't even stop once at 8 am I went in there and tryed putting her to sleep I got her mp3 player with the white noise on it and layed her on her side and gave her, her blanket and binki and she went to sleep.
I'm coming to you guys bc I don't know what eles to do.I would love some really good advice.
thanks in advance and please no bashing.
The only good advice I have is get a baby sling or wrap! My first son was that way until he was 7-8mos!
Everyone told me it was because I held him all the time and spoiled him - but seriously, I tried MANY times to let him cry it out, but that just did not work, and I could only stand so much of it! ;) He would get progressively louder and worse with the crying and screaming. He would work himself up so much that he would start choking! He would stop the second I picked him up. He would be freshly changed, fed and everything, but that never made a difference.
I just got used to doing everything one handed - he just demanded to be held all the time. It was very frustrating! Especially since I had no one around to help, and even if I did - he wouldn't stand for being held by anyone but me! I really wish I would have known about slings/wraps back then!!!
I took a full time job when he was a little over 6mos and my husband was staying at home with him, my baby literally screamed all day! The only thing that worked for my husband to get him to sleep was to swaddle him and strap him in the bouncy seat. Needless to say within a few weeks of dealing with that my husband got a full time job!
I wish I had some more good advice to offer. It does get better once they get more mobil - once they learn to crawl and cruise and find other things to occupy their time.
