Just had a really frightening 30 mins with ds (10 weeks old) totally screaming his lungs out in a very uncharacteristic way. He seemed in agony. The scary thing about it was the way he'd scream then not breathe for what seemed like an eternity at the same time as doing a full moro action, going absolutely red all over. Like an awful silent scream. Then fINALLY he'd inhale and scream again. He just looks like he might explode or something and I can't help thinking it must be really bad for him, his heart or something. Is this a ridiculous thing to think?
We can't work out what set it off exactly, but he'd just had a bath and I applied some sudacrem around his bottom. Could it have stung him like crazy? Perhaps he is allergic to it? Anyone had the same thing?
