Screaming 13m ds. For the love of God, help me please.

[brusselsbeansprout]

Ds had a cold last week but is better now. During and since then, he has been really clingy. We are now at the point where he screams and cries if I do anything other than carry him around.

Is this a hangover from last week? Separation anxiety? Any tips?

I have a splitting headache from all the noise and I can't get anything done!!!!

Has he got an ear infection? Can make babies really screamy....

Doc checked that when we were there and that wasn't a problem. Is sep anx typical at this age?

ear infection sounds likely.

probably a hangover from last week.

When the DTs did that to me I took the decision to do nothing for a couple of days. I sat with them (and the paper that I never got to read) on the couch.

I found that after a while they got up and got a bit busy, so I kept my paperwork nearby and would sit at the table for a few minutes doing that. When they noticed that I had dared to move I went back to the couch.

I just decided that it wasn't worth the grief.

I don't know if that's any help to you cos my only other suggestion is neurofen and earplugs!

homeopathic chamomilla /nelsons teething powder (same thing) may save your life good for soothing irrate babies works wonders and is harmless !

buy at boots or the chemist

poor you

try bach rescue remedy also

how old is he brussel is it teething

if chamomila doesnt work try pulsatilla
do you use homeopathic stuff ?

I would take him back to the GP. Or a different one preferably.

Luna and Mars - great advice, thank you so much!!

you're welcome

I hope it stops soon!
