have you tried the battery operated swing? also fix her a bottle of milk with a tablespoon of rice cereal. if that doesn't help put her car seat on the dryer with lila strapped in while your drying clothes. maybe you should send her back where she came from !!! lol. she is a beautiful baby, grandmom of 13.

My fussy baby is now 21. When she was an infant, I would fill the kitchen sink with warm water and put one of those baby sponge beds in and lay her in there. The warm water really relaxed her and I would rub baby oil on her feet and give her a little baby massage. I think they just get worked up and can't relax. It sure worked for her. Neither of my kids used the pacifier. They develope an emotional dependence on it if everytime they get upset you stuff it in their mouth. Good Luck

:P my parents told me i cried alot wen i was a baby.. :)) don't worry, i'm sure she'll stop crying that loud..

and i agree with thornekatt...i always get sleepy wen i go for a car ride.

New momma Jen this is fairly common. Try everything. For me, the swing worked great in the first weeks. After that I would strap my child onto the front of me and run the vaccuum cleaner. Be sure to rest when Lila does, even for 10 minutes. You have an active child and it's going to be FUN when she gets over this!

Mamma of five says try...."OVAL" it works, try it and let m know!

Jen, I am so serious when I say this: this book saved my life with my son Jack. "Happiest Baby on the Block."

It's a simple technique- the 5'S's -swaddle, suck, swing, shhhh, side. There is an order to do it in and you have to swaddle the crap out of her so she's like a board (get daddy to do it, they are more ruthless).

And the other weird thing: download some bagpipe music and blast it. Jack fell asleep with it. It sounds like a hum they hear in the womb.

GL! It stops eventually!

[thornekatt]

Try taking her for a car ride. It always worked for me.

Oh girl, I feel for you. I can see the desperation in your eyes. The only thing I can think of right now is that maybe she has a tummy ache. Mylicon (sp?) drops are really good for tummy aches for infants.
