Up until a couple of days ago my dd was feeding every 4 hours pretty much and cried when she was wet/hot/hungry. Wednesday night she cried all night long and wouldn't settle for more than about 10 mins before crying again. I was up all night trying to comfort her but nothing seemed to work. Yesterday carried on the same way, she'd have a jolly kick after a nappy change but then start to cry and scream when I picked her up but keep screaming when I put her back down. She'd fall asleep in my arms but scream when I put her in her cot. This carried on all night - I ended up co-sleeping which worked reasonably well but she was still unsettled. Today she's been the same: crying if you put her down and only sleeping if she's being held. Her skin feels clammy but she's still feeding well but seems to accept it a lot more often than before - any ideas or am I worrying for nothing? She seems to be in pain but I can't work out what or why...
