Hi all,

I am experiencing such a horrible problem with my 6+1/2 month old baby boy and I wonder if anyone can suggest anything that could be causing the problem?

Basically, these last few days, I have really struggled with Jack as he is constantly crying and screaming as if he is in some kind of pain. I don't believe that he is teething at the moment because he isn't actually showing the 'teething' symptoms that he has shown in the past. He has been suffering with a little constipation, in which he is finding it much easier now that I am offering him more water and circling his legs as the doctor recommended, so I can't imagine that he isconstipated.

He is arching his back and screaming as if he is in pain and no matter what I do, it just doesn't cheer him up. He has never been like this before and I haven't got a clue as to what is going on. It's upsetting me because I have always understood what he needs and helped him out. I run out of things to check because I just do all the necessary checks, such as nappy, feeding, temperature, water/juice, naps, etc.

Whatever is wrong with him is keeping him awake, so I can only assume that he is experiencing a lot of pain somewhere, but I just don't know where! I am totally out of ideas and I am getting really upset because I don't like seeing him in pain.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Hazel xx
