Angry 4 month old
I have a question about my baby. He's 4 months and is still crying quite often. He started about 2 weeks after birth when his Jaundice wen't away. He started crying for all of his wakeful periods and screamed for 4-6 hrs every evening. I also was producing large amounts of milk that seemed to really upset him because he would choke and couldn't latch on well. The crying slowed down at around 10 weeks but still for alot of the day and pearcing ( we have to wear ear plugs) He now has wakeful periods where he is happy and content but only for a short time before he needs picking up. He also cries alot when we get him to sleep. He used to only got to sleep if he was swaddled tightly and carried in a sling with a pacifier. if we stopped moving or tried to rock in the chair he would scream. He still likes that but is out growing the sling so we swaddle and bounce on bed with pacifier. Ocasionly we can lie down with him. he never falls asleep nursing, only with pacifier. He seems to dislike nursing and only feeds well during the night. He comes on and off the breast and gets furious if my letdown doesn't happen right away. once it's over he will not stay on breast, so he takes pacifier. His naps generally last 5-20mins throughout the day with one long one ( 2hrs) He has a rash around his mouth and cheeks. He recieves Cranial sacral thearapy and have been told cranial rythim is very weak so is sucking reflex and vitality. I am worn out and frustrated. Have not been able to really enjoy baby and am stuck inside all day because I can't soothe him and he screams like he's so angry. Any help would be appreciated. Have tried, Nux vomica,Cal Carb, Belladonna,chamomilla,pulsatilla,arsenicum album, and am giving stramonium 200c tonigh and in the morning. Am working with homeopath but thought any other ideas may help to discuss with her. Also when he's upset he doesn't like to be cuddled just bouncing and movement. Hates car seats, strollers and bright light.lola11 on 2005-10-15

Just found out that he has mild/silent reflux ( swallows it back down most times). Is there a remedy I could try or would an elemination diet be better. i don't want to resort to medication as the doctor suggested. Also the Stramonium seemed to help so I didn't give the Antimonium Crudum a try.
