I can usually tell what my baby's cries mean. I know when she is just grizzling or checking out her own volume, needing a feed or a burp etc.
In the last week, however (she is 3 months old tomorrow), she had given very long shrieking cries, turns complete red, tenses up and to me, it sounds like extreme pain. She has not been bumped or scared or hurt in what we see. I have tried to calm her by offering her my breast but it doesn't work. It lasts for a solid 3 minutes or so and feels like at eternity. I get very upset because she is a really good baby and I had never heard cries like this before. When I finally had her in a happy state, I held her for a little and she became happy again. 3 hours later it happened again. I have made a Dr appt but without the Dr seeing it, I am not sure she will be able to understand. My husband says it's probably growing pains.... but what are growing pains exactly???? I feel frustrated because I can't understand what is wrong and wondered if anyone else had a similar experience. I really do mean a freaky, intense, high pitch, red face, tense body, long, no satisfying, painful, making mummy cry from worry... kind of cry.
