  • Take her temperature with a retal thermometer. Maybe some pedialite.

    Is she on formula? If she is make sure you have the measurements right.

  • My son used to get this ALL the time. If baby is bottle fed then instead of doing,say, 6oz water 6 scoops milk do 6oz water 5 scoops milk, cooled boiled water, 7oz cooled boiled water with half teaspoon fresh orange juice in, or 2 pinches of soft brown sugar in the bottle. What worked best for my son was watering his bottles down then putting 2 pinches of soft brown sugar in his bottle
    Hope this helps
  • Ok thanks im sure gona try this tips I hate seeing my bby like that thanks ;-)
