My 5.5 month old baby over the last couple of days has become very unsettled, doing a kind of semi-cry on and off all day long. He has never been a cryer at all, genuinely such a happy smiley boy always laughing and he seems to have changed really suddenly. I’m not exaggerating when I say some days he wouldn’t even whimper let alone cry. But now he’s much less smiley and so irritable. I believe he is in some kind of pain.
Nothing else has changed. He sleeps through from around 8/8:30pm till about 6, has a bottle then back to sleep until around 8. He’s still doing that. He’s not a big day sleeper but even after a nap he’s doing it. He’s having his milk as usual (5-6 bottles a day), lots of wet nappies, no fever. He’s on his 12th day of lactose free formula as he had 3 weeks of diarrhoea which now is believed to have been a big that’s caused a temporary lactose intolerance. But I don’t think it’s to do with that. I’m just worried, I’ve called the doctor but just know they’ll fob me off.
Any ideas?
Also I know it’s been really hot recently but we’ve been inside with a fan for most of the day so he’s not hot. Feeling so worried and just miss my not being his happy little self. He seem so uncomfortable. Something just isn’t right I feel it in my gut.
