Callum will not stop crying... I have changed his nappy, fed him, cuddled him.. what am I doing wrong...

[SparklyGothKat]

proper screaming!! I can't seem to calm him..

dh's turn tomorrow night then
I would just cuddle until he falls asleep tbh
Are you co-sleeping?

have you tried calpol?i would also recommend baby massage,i dont know if youve any experience of it?

my slings are in the cupboard that must never be opened, too dangerous lol (am sorting it out tomorrow) he is only in his nappy and a top because its hot in my house

Then his tum would be warm from being in contact but you could still do stuff.

yes, i learnt baby massage wih my first baby. i will give that a go. i try not to co-sleep, because he was premature and we have a breathing monitor in his bed

aha i remember that one sparkly, the baby-on-shoulder all evening. It's something to do with their tummy i think. A theory i had with DD (my number3) is that she couldn't tell the difference between hungry / thirsty / tired / whatever, thought she was starving and wanted to feed when actually she was desperately tired and needed a big sleep. might be worth putting him in a suitably semi-sat-up pram for a bit as the others have said? otherwise you are gonna have to resign yourself to just having shoulders of a brickie (join the club)

ok, he is asleep in my arms, going to try and put him to bed

ooh good luck
I am creeping slightly around the house with you... lol

I would go with calpol
have a bath with him start bedtime again.

hope he stays asleep for you

No advice, but just wanted to let you knoe I've been through it too. And at 7 months he still cries randomly, but I still love him x

sending sleepy vibes your way

still sleeping

soemtimes a tired baby that doesn't settle gets more angry/tense/upset until the reason is forgotten. you might need an externam calming stimulus. (like a loud noise that will take his mind off crying, after which he'll forget he was crying...).
try things like taking him to the sink and turning open the tap (sound of water is very calming)...
if it is late at night and you are really too tired try to turn on babytv. he may calm down from the music and images and then you can put him to sleep when he is relaxed.
