She cries all day and is super whiney! I feed her try to snuggle with her, put oragel on her teeth take her for walks. Nothing is working! I'm starting to go a little nuts. I love the girl but I find myself getting really stressed out. What can I do? ps... I am her babysitter, I have a 7 month old boy as well and he is so calm and just sits and plays.. never fusses too much so I'm not used to this. How can I make her stop being so fussy?
I have talked to her mother she said she is the same way at home... she's been checked by a doctor... nothing is wrong. I think she's teething but I also thinks its what her mother is feeding her. She has taken to literally when they should start eating solid foods, she feeds her only solids and gives her 3 six ounce bottles per day. She says to only feed her at noon cause she only eat three times a day! I know this is wrong so I feed her what she will eat of the solids give her a bottle and then cereal with applesauce. This helps for a few hours but then she gets fussy again... I know a bottle would help but also dont want to go against her mothers wishes.
 
My daughter just went through that at 10m, for me it was just a stage. I found taking her outside, going for walks, going on the swing, playing on the grass etc helped. She has stopped now 10 1/2m, I know it is very annoying, as long as she is not in physical pain for any reason just ignore it and distract her with new things, it's just a stage.
 
I would mention this to the parents. They should take her to a Pediatrician just to make sure there is nothing medically wrong first.

If she gets a clean bill of health, she is probably teething. In that case rubbing her gums with your finger might help or perhaps she is missing her Mother and going though separation anxiety. If that's the case, all you can do is give her plenty of attention, hugs and kisses.

She could also be prone to gas. You could try putting her over you shoulder and rubbing her back, this often helps soothe them as well.

Hope at least some of this helps.
 
Does she do this everyday since you started watching her?Obviously something is bothering her. She's either not feeling well, teething, hungry, etc. Talk to her mother. Something is going on with her, it's not normal.
 
You're doing everything right except one thing,... you're not mommy. There's not much you can do about that and getting stressed out will definately not help. Just give her what she needs and then leave her to herself.
