Every time I put Alex down he starts to
cry soon after. I just fed and changed him
so that's not it. I want to put him to
bed.. Now even if i hold him he cries..
I'm getting so frustrated :'(

he might have colic, macy would cry for 2
hours for NO reason. I know its
frustrating but try just holding him so he
knows your there. its sad to just listen
to them cry i know. have you tried walking
around with him? do you have a sling?

I did try walking and it helped a little
but only if i held him to where he was on
his side. I do not have a sling.. Well, I
just put him down on his stomach and he's
fast asleep. But I'm TERRIFIED to leave
him on his stomach.

upstairs in her apartment. She has been
trying to leave me alone as much as
possible to do this on my own but said if
I need her she's just a walk up the stairs
or a call away but I feel bad if I ask for
her help...

Please go get her. I never let my
daughter cry like that because babies only
do that when they are in great need of
something. He may be in pain. You are
his only source of relief. Please go get
him help NOW.

he stopped crying.. I put him on his
stomach and he automatically quit. He
might just not laying on his back anymore.
If he had still cried when I put him on
his stomach I was gonna go get my mom....
If he was in pain wouldn't he have still
cried when I was walking with him and when
I put him on his tummy? Also..most of the
time I held him he was ok...

Your walking around maybe was relieving
his pain, like a back massage helps your
back or anyone else's back. Lying on his
stomach maybe putting enough pressure on
his intestines to help ease the pain from
constipation just enough to allow him to
pass out. Being in extreme pain is
exhausting.

that is entirely possible. he could also
just have colic right? Well, if it was
that I don't see why putting him on his
stomach would have any affect.. When he
wakes up for his bottle I'll see what he
does when he's on his back...

when he was a newborn and the only relieve
he had was laying on his tummy while i
rubbed his back

Well, after he woke up for his bottle he
was fine on his back but then when he woke
up the second time he refused to lay on
his back :S If the change in formula
doesn't work I'll believe it's colic...

I thought you already narrowed it down to
hard stools and constipation? That he
screamed the entire time he was trying to
poo?
Have you discussed this with your mother
yet?

yes, the best so far is doctor browns.
they're abit expensive but well worth it.
we bought mam anti colic bottles and they
worked wonders as nothing else seemed to
work. they have a special feature in the
middle of the bottle that reduces the air
that your baby swallows
