baby crying inconsolably
so my 4 month old is usually super chilled and happy. today she woke up from a 2h nap in the carrier at 3pm, fed for half an hour and then just cried inconsolably - tried feeding her again, changing nappy, winding, burping, checking she's not too hot/cold, checked for rashes, checked her temperature, given her lots of cuddles - the only thing thats settled her is going into the sling with my husband and just sleeping again, and even then she's been whimpering in her sleep. she did a poo this morning. i know she's baby and they cry but she was so upset and its really unusual for her - and she'd just napped for 2 hours so she can't have been tired?! anyone any ideas as to anything we could've missed? could it just be a growth spurt?

@Rosie ah this also crossed our minds - usually she self-settles by sucking her thumb but she was too hysterical to even do that, and my husband gave her his finger to suck and she didn't want it!
Check for teething, bottom front teeth. Can you see/feel? Do they feel swollen? Dribbling more? Red cheeks? Biting more? Mine is teething and went from super chilled to insanely inconsolable overnight and really upset me but realised he’s getting teeth🥺
