My lo is nearly one year old. He goes to bed at 6.30pm on a bottle of formula. He wakes around 9pm completely distressed. He is shouting/screaming/crying. We have tried everything we can think of. Milk, burping, hot/cold, nappy change, cuddles make it worse and this has been going on for about 3 weeks now. Its EVERY NIGHT. My dh and I are running on empty. We constantly bicker at each other now as we are so stressed and he has started sleeping in the spare room.
Lo is like this all day. Last Sunday we had to take it in turns going upstairs for a time out because the baby was just so grumpy and crying/whining.
We have tried calpol, teething powders, bonjela, ibuprofen, ewan the dream sheep, cuddles, stories. During the day we take him out for walks or to the library. Hes just constantly crying.
I have found myself doing overtime daily because I just don't want to go home. All thats waiting for me is crying and screaming. I have annual leave next week and I'm dreading it.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and had success at the docs? Been tested for anything?
Im keeping a diary this weekend of all meltdowns and I'm going to record this inconsolable screaming and see what the doc says on Monday :(
