Hi, my almost 5 month old has always been a happy baby, very rarely cried at all, never had any issues and did sleep through the night for a little while.
At 4 months he struggled to get to sleep, waking up more etc and put it down to the sleep regression. Tried to implement a routine with naps and bed time from this point and was working for a couple of weeks.
However about a week ago everything changed, he suddenly started screaming alot, crying and just very unsettled for most of the day, wouldn't let me put him down at all. I put it down to teething but even Calpol wasn't working.
I found that if I sat him up on my lap he was letting out loads of gas and 2 poos in one day so thought this was the issue (he usually only poos every 3 days). I spoke to the health visitor who said gas wouldn't be the issue as this is usually gone by 3 months. I ended up taking him to hospital last night as his cries were definitely painful. They said it was a viral infection. He's no better today, and again has done a poo/gas while sitting on my lap. He's showing signs of teething although I can't see any sign of teeth.
Has anyone had anything similar? Just have 3 possible issues and unsure what to do with baby 😔
