My 3.5 months old baby suddenly crycries very hard. A little bit of background:
- BabyThe baby is currently 3.5 months old
- HasHer fussy hour started at 1 month and tapertapered down when 2 months old
- In the past fussy hour, she would cry but can be easily comfort downbe comforted by holding her or feeding her
- At 1.5 months she hashad a routine where she would normally bath at 9:30, follow by a feed. She sleepsslept at around 11 PM.
- She sleepslept till 5 AM at 2 months and 8 AM shortly after that.
- We never useused any sleep training.
- BabyThe baby seems to be progressing normally. She coos a lot and just learnlearnt to roll herself one way.
She was behaving so well in the last month but things suddenly change:
- Started a week ago she wouldwill cry till her face is red, usually started at 8PM and can last for 1-2 hours.
- It seems that she will just wake up from her evening nap and went fullstarts full-blown crying. This is different from her normal crying since she always show some warning sign:
- We tried all the obvious routeroutes - feed, change diaper, hold her quietly, play soft music, dim light, no light etc. The only thing that MAY work is hold her and move the body side way.
- Getting her to bath when she crycries doesn't work. She is very tense and makes undressing/dressing a nightmare. She does calm down in water but will resume crying within a few minutes when moving out.
- We also tried moving the bath time early and reduce her day time activity to prevent overtireovertiring, but that doesn't help.
- I thought about her being colic, but it doesn't seems like it. We tried bicycle kicks and doesn't work. Mom is/has been already avoiding all gassy food.
- There is no diet or environmental change.
- After crying for 1-2 hours she wouldwill suddenly decide to stop crying and fall to sleep. Then she would wake up shortly after and cry again, but she can be easily calmcalmed down this time. After one or two more feed she would sleep.
- DoctorThe doctor couldn't find anything wrong.
