Hi all,
FTM so everything is new to me, but this is something really out of the ordinary for our baby who is 3 months and 1 week old. He naps well during the day and normally sleeps well at night too (wakes up for feedings every 2h though, he is breasted, but that's fine as he eats quickly and goes back to sleep).
But for the past 3 days he's been acting very very strange! All of a sudden, he becomes absolutely hysterical every evening at around same time (around 7pm) and nothing can calm him down! He cries with tears rolling down his cheeks and he gets red and hot and he screams and wails and starts coughing. He refuses the boob and the dummy. On the first night, we thought smth was wrong with him and went to A&E. However as soon as we started the car he fell asleep. So we just drove around and he slept, he then slept at night as usual. Last night I managed to make him take a dummy and eventually he fell asleep in my arms after lots of rocking. Tonight same thing, he was not himself. Absolutely inconsolable and hysterical. Finally after an hour of this he took a dummy, calmed down, then he took a boob, ate, then dummy again and fell asleep next to me hugged up (we co-sleep).
What on earth has happened to him out of the blue? He has never had colics and he has never acted like this before. Any advice very much appreciated.
