| she can be teething and you NOT see it. the teeth don't just spring up out of no where, they can take weeks or even a month to cut.
she stops/slows down the crying because you are comforting her. if she sounds like she's in pain, try a little panadol. it won't kill her and it might ease the pain a little.
fennho... i can tell you something very personal... when i was a child and i was feeling very nauseous, i can remember sitting in front of the toilet and my mother sitting on the side of the bathtub beside me slowly rubbing my back. TO THIS DAY i hate to get sick without my mum there to comfort me. she couldn't take away the discomfort, but she DID help, just her touch. i've talked about this with my younger brother and he has EXACTLY the same memories and the same feelings about it.
it seems to me that your baby is looking for comfort and by picking her up and carrying her, you are providing that. she truly sounds like she is in genuine discomfort and if a little panadol might help, then give it a go!
it is unlikely that it is separation anxiety as such, it's just that she needs your comfort to help her through her pain.
good luck!  |
