The Child Who Screams
February 14th, 2009 | 
Author: It seems Ru is a non happy baby these days, he spends alot of his time screaming/crying /being completly misrable . Im exhasted and feel as if my emotions have taken a real battering.
Last night at one point i just let him lie in my lap screaming and cried along with him. Some nights and days it goes on for hours and we are all clueless how to help him. He is not sleeping enough, refusing naps and staying up all night.
He is starting again….i just want to run away

Aww honey, I have been there with Max, although he was like this the whole way through. The only thing I can think of is that he’s having a growth spurt? How long has he been crying? Those stretching pains can be awfully sore.
(((huge hugs))) This WILL pass. xxx

Squidge started screaming bloody murder around 4 months. It coincided w/ her beginning to suck her thumb. The only thing I could think was that was getting into her tummy, like she didn’t really know how to suck her thumb properly yet. I would do bicycle legs w/ her and tuck her knees into her tummy. Sometimes she would toot and sometimes she would just groan. It helped a little bit. She eventually stopped after a couple of months but it was HELL while it lasted. I hope it ends soon and I can sooo relate to the sitting there crying along w/ them.

Oh Laura, I’m so sorry! It seems every baby goes through a period like this- even generally happy ones like Ru. Hoping it passes soon!!!

((((Laura)))) How old is Ru? Is it possible that he has reflux? Raya did and she screamed and cried constantly. Especially at night, or anytime she was laying down. I hope things improve soon!

I’m so behind Laura, I’m glad things have improved- I am STILL going through it with Rylan. Sometimes I think it will never end. Happy belated Anniversary, I hope it was great, and wish you may more.
