It's so hard. I completely relate. I had a baby like that and I thought I would go crazy from him. Until today he is the sensitive type but b"h he out grew the screaming at around 2. Sorry I cant give you advice cuz I had tried everything and nothing worked. I hope yours out grows it soon!

Has he had basic blood work?

My child like this was severely anemic at the time (even though it's not supposed to be possible at that age)

I can relate to what you're going through. It's so hard and frustrating. There were times I wanted to give my baby up and was ok with never seeing him again. Sad

How old is your baby? My extremely difficult baby is over 2 and BH had improved tremendously over the last few months. I did take him to someone when he was about 18 months who definitely helped somewhat. Also, the difficulties now don't necessarily mean anything for the future.

Was the birth traumatic?

Checked for tongue ties by someone literate? Could it be ear infection?

Was it a difficult birth? Sometimes cranial osteopathy can help.

I also really understand you, my baby and reflux and he is over 2. It is still a struggle but at least most of the day it's easier because they play but he can still get cranky during the day and difficult at night. We know it's reflux.

No but good idea. His anemia caused colic?

I did 2 sessions of cranial with my baby, and difference in him was barely noticable. I then took him to someone who does cranial, among other alternative therapies and saw a significant difference. If you're interested, she's in Monroe, I'll post under my screen name.

If it makes you feel any better, my easiest, cuddliest, calmest, simplest baby is now my most difficult toddler by far.

At what age?

Little tiny babies' kidneys aren't meant to process extra water until they're a few months old.

Is your baby gassy? Constipated? Hungry? Cold? Tired?

First do the basic. Is baby hungry? Is their diaper changed? Are they hot/ cold. Are they tired? Can you wear baby or hold them? How old is baby?
Hugs, it’s stressful.
