Have his bowel movements/stool changed characteristics? Constipation often causes this behavior....they get little cramps just like we do, and they have no idea what that little cramp is.....also, difficulty having a bowel movement, a hard stool they just cant get out, and the gas pains that accompany such an issue will often cause that "jumping, skittish behavior" because they can not figure what that little cramp or gas pain rolling around inside of them, actually is. This COULD be a source of the problem behavior.
This is so worrisome for you, I know...trying to second guess strange, unknown behavior in our babies, who can not talk and tell us what in the world is bothering them. If it were me, I would watch your baby closely, watch for bowel changes.....he may have glands that need emptying.....if I saw no improvement in his behavior, I would have the vet check him out......of course, here we are at the weekend!!......maybe clean out his glands.....watch stool consistency, frequency, maybe check him for UTI, doing urine culture/sensitivity.... |
