Answer 1

Sweetie it sounds like to me that you are under stress and he is feeling that.  Also he is in a different place and is having night terrors and it is because of new surroundings.  You can try singing to him, talking to him,  cuddle with him, put him in bed with you if you have to, read to him.  My lil' girl went through the same thing when I left her father and I got my own place.  She is better now and your lil' one will do just fine as well.  Don't worry he will be ok.  When he gets up at night time do the same things that I advised you.  It really helped my lil' girl.  I hope that this helps.  And don't worry about what some rude people have to say on here.

Answer 2

all i gotta say is SPELL CORRECTLY!!!!!

Answer 3

Your baby is probably just away from his normal surroundings and schedule.  Hope everything turns out okay for you!

Answer 4

Well a sudden change in lifestyle could really confuse the baby. Just give him time to adjust!!

Answer 5

Well his whole world has been turned upside down and he can sense your stress.  You don't medicated a baby if you aren't sure that's the problem, even with over the counter medication!!  He'll be fine once he's back home and you aren't so stressed!  

Answer 6

Call your pediatrician.  Most of them have a help line where you can talk to a nurse.  A one month old baby should not be given any meds with out talking to your doctor!

Answer 7

get him checked out for an ear infection. sometimes they will only sleep on you because the warmth from your body feels good on their painful ears. or maybe he is out of his enviroment and normal routine and thats making him fussy.

Answer 8

Maybe it is a new place that has him a bit freaked out, also babies pick up on your emotions if you are stressed he will be also.. Just comfort him extra till you can get back home..

Answer 9

Babies know when there in a different environment and he's not comfortable try to make it as homely as possible i.e smells,sounds,voices,sheets etc whatever you can. Dont pick him up every time he cries or he will never adjust

Answer 10

It's possible that he is picking up on the stress you are feeling due to having to relocate.  Many babies are very sensitive to the stress that their parents are feeling.  I imagine that once you are able to go back home (hopefully your home is fine) he will calm down.  But from what you've written, I would actually consider that fairly normal.

Answer 11

the same happened this weekend with my daughter, we took her to CT from NJ and she got all fussy, but we let her sleep with us the first night and we made sure we held her all day, and now she's fine again, and remember if your anxious the baby will feel that, just relax a bit, I did and my daughter is fine. Hope it helps!

Answer 12

awwww, maybe he had anxiety? See you Doctor, it will be okay. Good luck to you.

Answer 13

First of all, don't write like that please if you want a real answer - it's hard to read and I know lots of people won't read it.

Second of all, my son did that when we went on vacation the last 3 times - in fact, he also got diarreah and wouldn't eat.  It's just from the travel and your stress - the scarrieness of seeing everyone in a panic, the new food, new surroundings, etc. I would say it's totally normal in this kind of situation.

Try hyland's calms forte - you can get it in a vitamin store - It helps my son a lot.  He can feel your stress and worry, so try to calm down yourself - that will help too.

All natural and great results.

Answer 14

You are in a stressful situation and he is probably feeling the stress from you and the people around him.  I hope you and your family are okay and can return home shortly.

Also, it is very hard to read messages like this.  Please don't use "d" for "th" it took me an extra long time to read this because of all the da and dens.  Thanks!

Answer 15

Just take him to the doctor and explain to him his just probably scared because of what he might of expirienced with hurricane and all you never know.

Answer 16

I took my daughter 2 month old down to popular bluff which is in mo for a family reunion and she was fine on the way down there but when we were there she did the same thing that your baby is doing it because they have a sense when they are not home and its a new surrounding for them and there is nothing wrong your baby will be fine they just don't adjust to things like that like we do.  so there is no need to stress everything is ok.

Answer 17

You changed the baby environment, that is why he is out of wack. You have to stay calm.  I cannot emphasize that enough.  You are your babys teacher.  If you are freaking out, so will they.  So him a familar toy or something.  

Answer 18

It could be the fact your child was comfortable in your home in louisiana and the sudden change of enviorment scared it.

Answer 19

DON'T SET HIM DOWN,,HE IS SCARED AND HE NEEDS YOU FOR SECURITY

Answer 20

When we brought our 9 week old baby to the cottage he was very unsettled, he didn't want to sleep on his own and he was unusually fussy. Give him lots of comfort and cuddles and hopefully he will adjust. If you are very nervous try speaking to a nurse or on call doctor for further advice.

Answer 21

He is probably picking up on the highly stressful situation. He is not in his usual environment.

I hope you will be home safe and sound soon.
