Screaming Baby

My little boy is almost 4m old, This is the third night in a row where he cries like he’s in pain every morning when he wakes up. It’s a screech cry like I’ve never heard before. But then as soon as I pick him up and calm him down it’s like nothing has happened. He’s happy and smiling and content. I initially thought maybe it’s gas but now I’m thinking it’s an attention thing to get out of the cot in the morning 🤣🤣 Is anyone else’s child like this

Mine is the same! Is it the same time every morning? Mines usually around 6amish and I used to think he screamed for food but then would never take bottle and instantly fall asleep on me

@Georgia yesss! It’s around 7 every morning but he won’t take a bottle until 8. Does your little one scream like they’re in pain or scared though? It honestly worries me that something might be wrong and I’m missing it

Exactly the same!! It is a bad cry but I wonder if they wake up after the night asleep and want comfort/want to be held. Does your LO stop crying quite quickly after you hold them or go to sleep? If so its probably the same as mine and think he just wants to go back to sleep being held. He also doesn't have a bottle till 8ish too. He screamed this morning at 7am and had 30ml as I thought it was hunger again then went back to sleep and wouldn't take any more 🙃

I'm also a worrier too but I get the sense if it was properly in pain they probably wouldn't stop crying very quickly and nothing would really settle them. That's just my impression too as I'm never sure.

Mine has started doing the same and waking earlier than usual. I’ve put it down to sleep regression and the possibility that he is also teething.

At around this time with my 1st she started doing this and I think it might’ve literally just been a new cry that she learnt. Was a bit of a shock at first!

Mine is doing the exact same! Smiling as soon as I pick him up. I think it’s just them becoming more aware and trying to say “okay i want to get up now”😂

Mine has had some nightmares where she started screaming, as soon as she woke up properly she was fine!
