My DD has reflux but is growing out of it. She's had stomach aches in the past associated with it, but gripe water usually works wonders for her. Perhaps it is the growth spurt, but she's never behaved like this before. We always feed her whenever she wakes up but when she wakes this time, it is difficult to get her to eat. She spits out the food and cries hysterically. Nothing really works. Eventually, she exhausts herself. Then and only then am I able to get her to eat. Lately, I've been sleeping with her on her floor because of this problem. I know it sounds bad, but she's adopted and so then we get to thinking that maybe something is going on with that as well. So, I'm just hoping that this isn't too far fetched for an almost four month old. I've just never heard her cry like this. My husband was almost crying the other night because there is simply nothing you can do to make her feel better. I'm hoping it is just a phase (a quick one at that). But, is this normal? This crazy scratching, hysterical crying, out of control behavior? She went from sleeping 8-9 hour stretches to less than three now. During the day she'll just randomly break out in this hysterical crying. Poor girl. We just want to help her but we don't know what's wrong.
