Lol.. Good to see that you are patient. There’s not much you can do about the “screaming at nights”. Its an amazing experience, of course, its filled with smelly diapers, screaming nights and many more, but in the end, the feeling that you feel when you hold that lil one.. AMAZING!
Hi, your baby is almost the same as mine when he was some months old. :)
You are doing a great job. When i know i was pregnant, this site helped me a lot.

I swear that said 20 hours…I was like…Whaa? Poor mommy. Maybe your baby has Colic…Im not a mom or anything. I am only 14. But I know a lot of ppl who has babies and they cry all night and it always turns out that they have colic or something. But you should look it up. Here I even did it for you. Read that please. And let us know if thats what you think it is.

i would take him in to the Hospital for Children, there could be a few things wrong with him .Your Milk doesnt agree with him, let them check him out .I would not wait….
Get some Calpol give him a bath nice and calming. This should help. Does he draw his knees up to his belly?

like as if his tummy hurts? no. and the thing is, he’s fine before bed. it’s only in the middle of the night that he does this.

I agree you should get him tested to see if he is allergic to the formula you are giving him, also maybe give him a spoon of gripe water just in case it is colic - but are you sure he isnt teething?
i’m still nursing so i’m pretty sure that he’s not colic. as for him teething-YES i think he is absolutely teething. last night he started to jerk his head and body while i was feeding him, so i gave him some teething gel and he calmed right down. last night was a good night. he woke up at 1,3 and 5. it’s only 6:30 now, and he’s still sleeping. so three times may seem like a lot but for him, lately, that’s a good night. also because he was calm, he woke up and went back down without any screaming fits.
Anyway we are going to the pediatrician today so i’m praying that all it is is teething. i hate to see him so upset. it breaks my heart. especially when i can’t do anything to comfort him
well, if he begins the screaming for anything other than a colic or for teething, or just generally misbehaving, take your index finger and thumb like you were about to flick something, then give the baby the lightest of thumps in between the eyes. thats how they did it to me, anyway, it works pretty well.
Your an idiot {=) I can’t stop laughing.
Back to the matter at hand. It seem’s that at his age the waking up is a habit that you need to break. Try doing this. The first time he wakes up do what you usually do, Pick him up and give him a cuddle, coo, kiss put back to bed. Each time after Leave him for 2 minutes and if he hasn’t stopped go in don’t pick him up but lie him back down and stroke his tummy. Then try and increase the time before you respond. This is going to be hard as it’s not nice to hear your baby crying. You should be able to increase by 5 minutes each time. Eventually he will understand that you are still there and he will start to sleep longer between wake up. Eventually sleeping through the night. Did that make sense?
coddling your child for crying and throwing a fit is sending mixed messages. its like a reward for misbehaving.
What does thumping the baby right above the nose do???
Very good point, but she’s having problem’s with getting him to sleep and a whack between the eyes will not help in this situation.
Don’t get me wrong I have disiplined my child the same way short, sharp, shock, but at a much older age than this baby. The idiot remark was a jest you made me laugh.

thank you. that picture was an action shot!:) i went to take a pic and he rolled over. at the time of the pic he wasn’t a pro at rolling over like he was now. i wasn’t trying to take a pic of his bottom! but if you could only see the before and after pics, it’s soo funny. this one is the after shot:)
its ok to get up set everyone has there moments when the just need to take a walk or some thing and its normal for u to feel concerned with your child cause of course no one in there right mind want to see there kid in pain or distress. i think the reason ur kid freaked is because he may have gotten use to u holding him and not the crib so as soon as he realizes fully that he isn’t in Ur arms he flipped and on top he probably was still tired and cranky but I’m not doctor just my opinion i hope everything goes well and you find out truly what was bothering him
