Two of them, in fact (twins), and they're 11 months old adjusted, if that makes a difference. They were refluxy babies, never had colic as such but certainly cried quite a bit. Got a lot better around 8 months ish, started sleeping through the night about 10 months. They got a really unpleasant d&v bug about three weeks ago that totally knocked them for six - ten days of vomiting, over two weeks of diarrhoea. And ever since they have spent most of the day crying. Really full on, in pain, arching back, throwing head back, red in the face type tears, but they do usually - not always - settle if held or in the jumperoo (would they do that if it was pain?)
They have always been very poo-ey babies. Even before the bug they would easily do five or six poos a day each, often very loose, and still sometimes at night (is that odd for a 1 year old?). Post bug it's now back to much the same, although often what comes out now look much the same as what has gone in, as if somehow the food hasn't been digested properly. I moved them onto lactose free formula on a pharmacists' advice, but it doesn't seem to have made too much difference.
I took them to to GP yesterday who has sent off a stool sample but otherwise couldn't find anything wrong with them (checked ears, temp, etc.) I honestly don't know if it's some type of health issue or something more developmental, but the intensity of the crying is really quite scary sometimes, not to mention wearing.
(I don't think they're teething and have tried infant Neurofen to no avail, but who knows?)
Any ideas?? Could a tummy bug STILL be causing pain three weeks later?
