Baby screaming constantly

Hi,
My baby is nearly 11 weeks old and we’re really struggling with her at the moment.
The last few days she has been so incredibly upset most of her waking hours, she will SCREAM like she is in pain, if you put her down. Or if she’s content in her bouncer or on her mat, then you move her. She screams again. The only way she stops is if we hold her over the shoulder and walk around / swaddle her and aggressively shush and rock.
She’s also gone off her feeds, taking just over half of normal.
She’s still sleeping through the night fine. I can’t see it being pain related but I don’t know. I’m a FTM so this is all foreign to me.
Any help? Please 🥲

Silent reflux?colic? X

she does have reflux. We’re using infacol it has been working but the past few days she’s been awful. I’ve read up on wonder weeks.. I wonder if it’s that?

Ostheopath is a go. With mine it was the same. Don’t do chiropractic in this young age.

Is she going toilet regularly? My LO was like that when she was younger, she ended up with the infacol, which made her bunged up, so we left it for a few days and she was fine after that. So just be careful.

yes usually every other day. We haven’t noticed any toilet troubles since starting the infacol, we actually switched to that as dentinox was causing constipation for her. Thankyou for the advice though!

how would this help? What do they do?

Your welcome, how is your LO now? Any problems? My LG was prescribed lactoluce if she ever had problems, we make sure she has it once a day to make sure she doesn't suffer.

she is doing a lot better. She was prescribed gaviscon for silent reflux and that seems to help massively! And use comfort formula inbetween to help with constipation which she doesn’t seem to suffer from :)

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡
