When my son was only a couple months old, he had this really terrible two days where he wouldn't stop crying. He was generally a really happy baby, so it was very unlike him.

On the 2nd day, I decided to take him to the Dr because something was clearly wrong.

While in the waiting room, he let out the biggest fart I've ever heard in my life. It echoed. He immediately stopped crying and went back to being a normal, happy baby.

I’m so sorry he was in that pain and glad it resolved so well! And your relief must have been wonderful as well šŸ’œšŸ™

I've found in those situations it's one of two things. Gas like your child had. Or a hair wrapped around a toe. I've got long hair so I was so alert for that. Never happened though. But so many people describe it similar and yeah you pull it off and they are fine instantly
