My son (1 year and 5 months) is thankfully a healthy baby and very energetic.. I mean.. VERY... but he keeps screaming non-stop over what seems to be nothing. If I leave the room he starts up if I sit down with him he starts screaming..
I don't know what to do to make him calm!
I tried warm baths before bedtime..
I tried soothing music (like the ones by fisher price their CD's and such)
I tried getting him very active by letting him play a lot and playing with him with legos and have him use this lil bike I got him..
still he is screaming and im afraid he'll bust something.. doesnt help either that I am getting no sleep at all since each night he sleeps at 5 or 6am :S
I tried the above for the same issue as well as not letting him sleep during the day more than half an hour or any variation of that.. all I ended up with is a very very cranky baby..

your baby is very active then.why scream? Does he like chocolates or sweet stuffs? You should control him with sweets that's make a baby active a lot. Or go out with him and stroll on a a park where there a kids too so that he can express himself freely. That is very helpful for me and don't forget classic songs for babies. Piano and violin cd helps my kid sleep in the night.

HE LOVES SWEETS! But I restrict him when it comes to that since it isn't good for his teeth or general health. Im not mean about it, I mean if he sees someone having ice cream i'll give him a little bit and so on...
When he is not just generally freaking out.. I let him play in the living room with his toys. I got this rug for him that i roll out just for the purpose of his playing. (My home has no carpeting in it, all tile) He'd play and play and play with no sign of tiring himself out. During the day sometimes I send him next door to my cousin's place so he could play on their balcony with them.. (mine has this huge gap that my husband has yet to take care of).
Any ideas? Because I am soo frustrated and at a loss.

have you heard about healthy options. There are food for babies that looks like junk food but they are not. I used to buy there for my kid. Try to visit their website healthy-options.com.

I wish it were so easy.. i don't give him all the junk food he wants.. it is my husband that does :(
I try to give him fruits and he doesn't always accept it when he sees his dad.. because he knows his dad will give him junk food.

Despite the fact that he has already gotten his one year molars, there are also a set of two year molars that he will get eventually. It could be that the reason that he is so cranky is because of those that are starting to come in. If I remember correctly with my own children, they had a difficult time with the two year molars and as much as you probably don't want to hear it, those can be a lot worse than the first set of molars that a baby will get.

Is this only at bed time or all day long? It could be a number of things. He could be teathing and in pain. Or there could be somthing else going on that is causing pain that you can not see. I would say consult your doctor so they can exam the baby to see if there is a problem. My youngest son is now 3 and he would wake up in the midde of the night doing screaming and crying and we would put him in bed with us and then he would sleep great. We realized that he was doing it cause he knew that we would get him and put him in bed with us. It could be something like that. I would check with your doc if you havent already.

He got his molars.. despite teething or not.. he is rather fussy. Usually when it's time to sleep he acts up. However more recently he's been odd. Sometimes he wakes up all smiles and others crying in such a way that makes me run to him thinking he hurt himself or something..
Sometimes he is like this during the day. This week two days straight of non-stop crying. There wouldn't be anything wrong.. he'd be playing and suddenly start shrieking if i so much as sit down :s
As for taking him to a doc we did that already.. was told that he is fine! So that puts me at ease but doesn't help me sleep before 6am..
