Other Reasons Why Your Baby May Be Crying

1. Sinus infection

2. Ear infection

3. Bronchial infections, pneumonia, etc.

4. Teething: can occur at almost any age but doesn't usually become a problem until three or four months.

5. Injuries from the birthing process. Examples include: broken clavicles, arms, legs, or possibly ribs.

6. Cervical Spine injuries from the birthing process: cervical torticolis (head pulled off to the side,) positioning while in utero, unequal head position in car seats or while sleeping, or from extreme temperature changes (from heat to cold too quickly.)

7. Chronic constipation

8. Chronic diarrhea with dehydration

9. Intolerance to mothers milk as a result of her diet

10. Intolerance to prepared formula

Problem Cases

 Over the last forty years there have been many exceptions to what is considered typical.  What are the some of the exceptions?

            1. Failure to thrive babies
      These babies react and have colic just like many other babies, however, they don't improve as quickly and they cannot eat well. Eating seems to hurt them and they often show signs that the milk is hard to swallow. The pain seems to be more in the stomach (under the left rib cage) than in the lower abdomen. They spit up very frequently and their cry sounds so painful, it brings tears to your eyes. Their appearance is different; they are usually small, don't gain weight, become more dehydrated, and their faces look like little old men.

      They will feel relief from colic treatment but they will not usually reach 100%. They usually continue to cry because they are not getting enough nutrition as a result of being unable to keep milk down and starving. Many of these babies must use NG tubes or G tubes in order to receive a sufficient amount of nutrients for survival.

            2.  Happens in breast fed babies.
      Mothers often notice that their crying babies want to suck all the time, but it is not because they're hungry, rather because they are in pain. Many times it’s because the mother’s diet weakens the baby's valve or the mother may not be producing enough milk to satisfy the baby. When the baby roots and sucks, it is not because he/she is hungry, it is simply a tactic of reducing pain. Rooting is not a baby trying to get more milk out of the mother, it is latching on and staying latched on because of abdominal pain, not because it isn't getting enough milk or getting it as quickly as desired. A baby who is not hurting will usually latch on, stay latched on, won't root, and they slow down when they become satisfied.

      Being satisfied does not mean the stomach is full, it means the blood sugar is becoming balanced and this causes the appetite to go down. (Remember - when blood sugar goes down, appetite goes up. When blood sugar goes up, appetite goes down.)

            3. Bottle fed babies
      Some Bottle Fed Babies have more problems with frequent bowel movements.
