My granddaughter is 3 weeks old and has cried excessively at random intervals that last anywhere from 2 to 8 hour periods. Her mother is nursing her but was told to stay off dairy. The infant was taken to the pediatrician 2 weeks ago and was told there was a microscopic spot of blood in her stool. The baby has very occasional times where she looks peacefully about and seems pleasant and will suddenly scream in agony; dreadfully, the crying process begins. She has been given gripe water, milocon. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
Hi, sorry to hear about your granddaughter. But this is what 90% of babies go through during first 3 months of life. Ask your daughter to stay of milk and nuts. When the episode starts put the baby prone over your lap. Sometimes if it is due to gas the crying stops. Take the baby to an aerated spaces. Avoid cellphones and TV or internet during feeding the baby. Ask mother to be relaxed and take plenty of water and fresh fruits. Hope she gets fine. Good day
