Very Unsettled Baby

[Baby~amore`]

to you and yes it can be so stressful to have a bub who screams for the majority of the time.You sound like you have tried all avenues and remember you are doing a fanatastic job .

my suggestions are

1. get him checked by a paediatrician maybe for silent reflux - my friends son has this and screamed all the time too except when on the boob or cuddled and was feeding all day/night to ,not sleeping. Since starting on meds last week he has improved dramatically.A general checkup too won't hurt.

2. We took our unsettled bub to a chiropractor (also had reflux) and his neck was also out due to being twin B, squashed and prem.It stopped him being so unsettled but he didn't scream as much as groan and arch his back.It stopped all this.

3.Other mum in the July belly buddies - she took her gorgeous son to an osetopath ... read her story here Babies Born July 2006 #4 - Boisey Jensens mum and here

Let me explain...ever since Jensen was born he would cry! Id feed him and then straight after he would cry, if I didnt bounce him on the fit ball he would cry, Id be lucky if he slept 1 hour during the day and he would wake every hour on the hour at night!!! Needless to say I was going crazy!!!! As I could never put him down or be away from him...and then things just got worse ...it went from crying to screaming almost 24 hours a day!!! It was about 7 days ago when I called my Mum balling my eyes out telling her I was going totally crazy and that I couldnt do this!! ANd poor Rob was in syd for work...anyway Mum insisted that I take Jensen to an Osteopath ...which I did...who looked Jensen over with a fine tooth comb and said that he had a very sore neck and lower back due to the dreadful birth he had with the forceps and very long labour...Anyway after seeing my Miracle Osteopath 3 times now and him using very gentle massage...I now have a new happy, smiling and gurgling and SLEEPING little boy!! Its a bloody MIRACLE!!!!!!! LOL!!!!And with that I now have my sanity back!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Id have to say that the last 7 weeks have been total hell for me and Jensen and now its like I have different happy little baby....

4. see your ECHN and ask about Trescillian type placement because they can help or call the TRESCILLIAN help line 1800 637 357 outside Sydney.
