    Half the time I didn't know why DS was crying, I had done all the checks three time over and still had no idea what was going on. What worked one day, didn't work the next.
    My DS liked being in the sling, so I carried him during the day for about 5 months, he then started to get too heavy so worked on getting him down in the pram/cot. I did alot of walking and patting. We slowly got to know what was needed. After about 12-15 weeks DS started crying less, now he only has tantrums or cries when he hurts himself.

    Congratualtions and Good luck.

    Have you tried a paedeatric chiropractor or osteopath? They can do wonders for an unsettled baby. My dad is a paed chiro.

    Could you perhaps talk some sense into my DH so he lets ME sleep?!
    Congrats on the new bub, we've just had our first bub 2 months ago and we had the same problem at 4 - 5 wks, but got told by the Child Health Nurse (CHN) that it was a growth spurt.. Hope everything gets better for you soon
