14 Week Baby None Stop Screaming!!!!

[Ilovemytwins]

Hello Everyone!

I am very new to Mumsnet, and hope someone can help me! :)

My 14 week old baby screams from morning till night, she is very rarely happy and it is starting to get me down! I love her so much but she is becoming very difficult.

Background-
I have tried colief, dentinox, infacol and had her to the hospital twice to be checked over. She has reflux so they thought the acid was hurting her so they put her on Donperidone and Rinitadine to help. This made no difference to her! The doctor upped her gaviscon to 8 times a day, this helps the sickness but not the crying. Then I got told to try Crainial massage, we went to see them and they couldnt find anything to adjust. Tried baby massage and herbal tablets to calm her! I have even changed her milk to lactose free and the comfort milk but nothing has helped! (Doctor advised this).

I think she is teething, but am not sure if this could have caused the crying over the last 2 months! She is not doing it for attention as she doesnt stop when she is cuddled and picked up!

She is a twin, the youngest. And I am running out of ideas, I am knackered and I just want the screaming to be reduced! I am sure this amount of crying is not normal.

Please somebody help! :(

I wish I could think of something to help.

I really feel for you OP. My DD1 was similar to this but not quite as bad I think. I had a lovely friend who was on maternity leave at the same time who would swap babies with me to give me a break. I'd walk round the supermarket with her lovely calm baby in my trolley while listening to mine screaming a few aisles away. I think this friend saved my sanity. She is a social worker so perhaps she could see that I was an the end of my tether.

We actually resorted to a sedative (from the GP) to do the 5 hour drive to Cornwall once because it felt so dangerous to try and drive all that way with that noise getting inside DH's head and stopping him concentrating.

I had to rub emollient all over DD1 every night and that did seem to calm her a bit. It might have just got rid of the itching though

I really hope you find something which helps even if it's just a good friend who is willing to take her for a bit to give you a break.

Ilove just a thought, my DC couldn't take SMA. Once I changed to Aptamil they were both fine. SMA was too rich for them

My ds1 was a screamer too, he improved dramatically at 10 months when he started crawling.
I actually put him in a nursery 2 mornings a week at 3 months so he could scream at someone for a few hours. I think I would have gone insane otherwise

Good luck with it all. Do go to groups, maybe noisy ones like a music class, you'll find you're not on your own and other new Mums will have some of the same problems!
