i'm sorry but what will you tell the Dr. Shes crying all day and the reason im here is because .......................................... ............. There are no symtoms of anything wrong with her health and she is still feeding....Some days are bad and some are good. She probably has cramps or just feels tired

i jsut realized can thrush make them cranky? Ive been lookin in her mouth and eh she might have thrush on her tongue.

based on what that the baby is crying? If the baby feeds and poops there is nothing a dr can do for you....Its like saying im gonna go to the Dr. Because I yelled at my husband I think something is wrong with my health...It doesnt make any sense

U guys couldnt expect her to take her to the doctor with the weather being so bad. That would have put her and the baby in danger.

All babies have episodes where they cry. Sometimes a gas bubble thats being stubborn can make them cry for hours. Sometimes they just want to be tempermental. You never know.

Im glad she didnt take the baby out in nasty weather.

Yes it makes them super cranky because it irritates them when they feed....Youll have to get to a Dr. To get a prescription because the more she feeds the more it will spread and irritate her...My son just finished his thrush episode!!! Sucks!!

Some common signs of a yeast infection in nursing mothers are:


itchy, pink, red, shiny, or burning nipples (may be cracked) (note that pink, tender nipples can also be a sign of a bacterial infection, or dermatitis, which should be diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist.)
deep, shooting breast pain during or after feedings
a vaginal yeast infection
i found that onlineand I do get the shooting pain in my breasts, wasnt sure what it was so hmm I think I solved my problem but involves a visit to the dr anyhow lol cuz she has white on her tongue I havent tried wiping it. But joseph had thrush quite a few times btu he was bottle fed, so we are probably passing the crap back and forth.

That isn't that she doesn't *want* to take her to the doctor.. The point is that right now where she is the wind is 90mph. I wouldn't drive with my baby in that weather, either!

i dont think everyone drags there kid to the dr over one fussy day. 2 days now im wondering whats up buti think it might be thrush. I just gotta check inside her mouth when she wakes up because I dont wanna wake her up at like 10 at night just to look. But that might be the cause.

But shes asleep on daddy right now so im gonna go to bed plus the power keeps flickering with every gust of wind so gonna go before the power does if it does. Supposedly we are only under the weather advisory till midnight . I hope so. From thrush with joseph I think maybe thats what it is I havent properly seen her cheecks btu her tongue hs teh white on it .

Thanks for the advice for those that did give me some Smile hopefully it all gets sorted tomorow. And pray the weather is better. The wind sounds soo creepy in this house.

well sorryyyyyyyyy but if my baby was 3 weeks old I would carry my baby to the dr if she was fussy.I guess I just rather have peace of mind to know my child is ok. I could not live with myself if something did tun out to be wrong and I just burshed it off to being fussy

yes, something could be wrong because the baby is crying, that is the only way a baby can indicate that something is wrong. And there is nothing wrong with carrying the baby to the doctor because he/she is crying for two days, especially a newborn baby. It is incorrect to say that if a baby feeds and poops that there is nothing a doctor can do for you.....There could be many things wrong with the baby and then again it may not be anything serious at all like gas, but I would rather carry the baby to the doctor and find out its nothing than to not carry her and something serious results. Try to remember that not every infection will start out with a fever...Sometimes the pain comes before the fever.

Obviously .Tink can't take her now, but as soon as the weather clears I would take the baby to the doctor......I always prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to my kids.

Babies cry non stop if they are colicky...My son cried all day yesterday for no good reason..Cranky maybe? I know its hard because its your baby but there is such a thing as a baby who just cries...And besides she thingk she might have thrush that causes them to be cranky...

with all due respect .Emma, you are not a doctor....Your son may just be cranky, but it is irresponsible to tell .Tink that there is nothing wrong and passing it off as nothing.....How would you feel if .Tink comes in here in a couple of days with a morbid story (heaven forbid).

Like I said before, you don't take risks with newborns.

I agree with .Foxy in that I wouldn't take the "wait and see" approach if the weather were more favorable. If you're unable to go anywhere due to storms that's one thing - but the original post should have reflected this. This is not the first time .Tink has asked for advice and disregarded it in favor of waiting it out. Not that .I'm saying she's wrong for doing so, but it is not what I would have done. I would rather the doctor tell me I had no reason to worry than to have him tell me I shouldn't have waited. Two days of crying sends up red flags in my mind, so I would not have passed it off as fussiness. But again, I won't fault .Tink for doing so. It's her call as the child's mother.
