I’m a FTM to a gorgeous baby girl who I absolutely ADORE but I am at my wits end with the screaming.
She is a 10 week old generally very smiley little bubba and throughout the night and 90% of the time during the day I have no issues with her, however whenever we try to put her in her car seat or pram she starts scrying (scream crying). The pram is a mixed bag - sometimes she starts crying as soon as we put her down before we even go out, other times she’s fine for 10-20 min of the walk and starts then. The thing is when she starts scrying she is inconsolable. It doesn’t matter if we pick her up, she is screaming bloody murder and really hard to settle, so what ends up happening is we go home where she would eventually settle and fall asleep. I think what happens is she gets tired and wants to sleep but doesn’t sleep on the go…The other time when she does this is around/before bedtime. Not every night but often enough. She used to LOVE the pram and would fall asleep as soon as we get outside and start moving and so the scrying was limited to the hours between 5 pm and her bedtime at around 9pm, so I thought “colic”. But she does the exact same type of screeching in the pram / carseat now. She gets so upset so quickly (you know, goes all red, lots of tears, deafening screaming) that I find myself questioning every time it happens if she is in some sort of real actual physical pain.
My DH keeps telling me that if she was, she wouldn’t be upset only at these very specific times of day/ situations and she wouldn’t be screaming bloody murder one minute and then when you manage to calk her down giggling and smiling the next.
I don’t know, I guess just wondering if someone else has gone through something similar? I hope it’s just a phase and I really really hoped the closer we get to 12 weeks the less crying we’ll have to endure but doesn’t seem to be the case…yet.
please give me some hope
