STOP screaming!

This will be short and to the point, as my head is about to explode and I am therefore nauseous.

Owen has started screaming. Not the sweet crying of a baby that just needs _____ (whatever). More like "SOMEONE IS PULLING OFF MY LEFT LEG, AND I'M REALLY PISSED OFF ABOUT IT!" What?! Why?! I dunno.

Last night I attributed it to just having received his immunizations.

Tonight? I dunno. He'd had a four ounce bottle of formula... burped several times... and had been laughing and playing. I tried bouncing, rocking, simethicone, Tylenol, nursing, swaddling, and ignoring him. After 30 minutes of out-and-out SCREAMING, he wore himself out and passed out. My ears are still ringing... and I'm ready to pass out, myself.

Any thoughts?
