[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn, I’m sorry. That sounds awful.

It might be reflux. It might be he’s “waking up” and is just a very reactive baby who needs a lot of holding. At this age, that’s totally OK.

Is he breastfeeding? What happens if he just hangs out and comfort sucks?

Is he formula-fed? What happens if you switch to a more hypoallergenic formula?

The suddenness of the onset and the intensity of the reaction are definitely worth a call to your pediatrician in the morning, just to make sure there’s nothing serious.

Thanks. Yeah, he is exclusively breastfeeding right now. He loves the comfort suck and will gladly (at least until yesterday) hand out there and sleep for a while. It seems like feeding is the only thing that will calm him right now. We are new parents so all of this is just hard.  [/quote]

Have you tried a pacifier, and are you sure it’s not gas? [/quote]
We’ve tried a pacifier and he didn’t take to it immediately, but we should give it another go. No.. not sure it’s not gas, no clue. But he has the symptoms of silent reflux so it seemed to make sense. Guess it could still be anything. [/quote]
