Good or bad. Everything is a phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508813 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 19:26:36 +0000 FannyMae 2508813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I keep feeling LO's gums, she bites down on my finger, but there isn't anything poking up yet. For sure those lil teeth are pushing up, I'm sure they will be here any day now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508809 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 19:25:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2508809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: @FannyMae: thanks! I actually left work early today to give DW a break :/ I sure hope this results in a tooth so at least there is a reason!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508794 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 19:20:00 +0000 FannyMae 2508794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I hope he is feeling better! It definitely sounds like teething to me, poor thing.</p> <p>My LO is being rather whiney too the last few days - her cheeks have turned red and she is a drooly finger chomper. I couldn't settle her at all last night til about 11.30pm, she was just being a little sooky bum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508381 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 13:45:21 +0000 peaches1038 2508381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but I hope your little guy feels better soon! Hopefully he just has a lot to say and wants you to know all about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508342 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 13:22:46 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2508342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: No...rectal is most accurate actually! I always use the forehead one as a quick gauge without any discomfort. How long has he been whining? I'd just keep an eye on it and see if it starts waking him at night. If he hasn't had a cold or a runny nose, it might just be his teeth moving around. LO1 was such a late teether, but you could tell they were moving on him and causing him pain all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508332 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 13:19:44 +0000 wrkbrk 2508332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Just a rectal one! No temp. Is the forehead one more accurate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508264 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:36:39 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2508264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that the same symptoms for teeth are the same symptoms my LO has for his ear infections. Do you have a forehead thermometer? Even if it's a slight fever, I'd take him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508262 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:34:48 +0000 wrkbrk 2508262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Not that we can see. The ped said she didnt feel or see anything last week. :/ Before that we were SURE it must be teeth because: (1) red cheeks; (2) whining; (3) hands constantly in mouth; (4) drooling; (5) this is totally new for him!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508259 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:33:12 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2508259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: Hmm...if tylenol helps, my guess is either teeth or ear! Any white spots on his gums? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508247 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:28:57 +0000 wrkbrk 2508247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should add that tylenol immediately stops his crying so we are guessing SOMETHING is hurting him?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508244 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:28:36 +0000 wrkbrk 2508244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Not favoring one side that I can tell. His nose is not running but he does randomly start crying/whining after brief periods of silence. He was at the ped for his 4 month visit last week and she looked in his ears but maybe something has developed since then?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508241 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:27:20 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2508241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: Is he favoring one side or randomly crying out? That was the only way I had an inkling that LO had one! His fists are constantly in his mouth.</p> <p>Does he have a runny nose? If not, then I'm with the others that it may just be a new discovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508232 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:23:45 +0000 edelweiss 2508232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm guessing he's discovered that he can make this noise and it's fascinating him. i bet he will move on in a week or so. i hope sooner for your sake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508229 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:22:07 +0000 wrkbrk 2508229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Hmm, I had no considered an ear infection. He has not started day care yet and doesn't have a fever.....maybe we should take him in anyway?? Is there any other way for us to tell at home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508227 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:21:34 +0000 wrkbrk 2508227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: Thanks! I will check out your thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508128 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:58:14 +0000 LindsayLou 2508128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It was more of a low pitched growl for us, and she was a little older at 5.5 months. I thought I was going to go insane. I posted about it here: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-growl" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-growl</a><br /> It did get better after a couple of weeks. She still makes the sound at 7 months, but it's not constant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508125 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:56:45 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2508125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're sure it's not an ear infection? LO2 is the most good natured baby I know. I had no idea he had an ear infection because he didn't have a fever, didn't pull at his ear, and was generally happy. He yelled out once which made me take him just in case and it was raging... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508117 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:50:56 +0000 raspberries 2508117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my son went through this a little bit - he was just discovering that he could make noise, so he made noise all.the.time. The whine turned into random screeches when he discovered that.</p> <p>Sorry, not much help, but I at least don't think there's anything wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2508106 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:46:52 +0000 wrkbrk 2508106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone? :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-whining-help#post-2507965 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:08:54 +0000 wrkbrk 2507965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our normally VERY good natured, calm baby has hit some kind of phase (please dear god) where he whines almost constantly. I mean, all the time he is not asleep or eating, he makes a loud whining sound. You can only distract him momentarily with toys, walks, etc., then it's back to the noise.</p> <p>He is not hungry, not wet, and nothing is making him uncomfortable that I can tell. Is this because of a "wonder week" or something? Pre-teething? Growth spurt? He smiles through the whining but he won't stop the extremely grating sound!!!</p> <p>HALP! DW is staying home with him right now and the last week has been pretty miserable. He is 18 weeks. </p>
