Crying baby

My LO has been fussy all week and I dont know whats wrong. I feed and change him when needed, I am constantly checking his temperature, I play with him and pick him up and he is still fussy. He does have colic but it usually doesnt happen until around 4 or 5. Any ideas of what could be wrong? I love my little guy but this is getting frustrating because I wanna help him and nothing I do works

When babies are crying, they are communicating to you.  He could be just tired or want you to hold him.  It's a lot of things.  I have a 3 month old daughter, and she is not as fussy anymore.  My daughter used be very fussy.  I understand.  If he is in a negative environment or around negative people, that could make him fussy too.

Try Gripe water it could be colic, refulx, gas anything. sometimes they just need to cry it out. 0-6m 10mins, 6-12m 20mins and so on. My son had colic and refulx and for the 1st 5months of his life he did nothing but cry. I don't know how old your child is but maybe you should check with your dr.

My son was the same way the first 2 months. I just had to wait it out. some of the 5 S's seemed to help. Swaddling and shushing mostly. Swinging occasionally. He wouldn't take a pacifier until he was almost 3 months so only breastfeeding counted as sucking until then. Side never worked at all for mine. Around 6 weeks it started to get better...we got on a schedule and he is Usually much better now.

It will get better. Actually i noticed when his 'fussy time' started to start earlier in the day that was the beginning of the end of his colic.
