Hi,

I'd love to hear other mums experiences with unsettled babies.

My little one cries what feels like constantly and I have no idea how to help him.
He has been a very unsettled baby since birth and until now we had always put it down as colic. At around 3 months he seemed to improve for a couple of weeks but then went back to crying for around 5 hours a day. When he isn't purple crying he is whinging without tears.

I do regular baby massage for wind and colic so I dont think its tummy troubles. He is never awake for more than 2hrs between naps so shouldn't be over tired. He feeds well so isn't hungry. I'm sure it isn't teething as teething gel/powder doesn't make a difference and he settles well at night so doubt he is in pain. Any ideas? I've tried giving him quiet time to play on his own with no tv etc so he's not over stimulated. Help!

Silent reflux? Do you ever hear him regurgitate? My son had it, for 8 weeks i thought it was colic too.
