4-month old keeps pushing out her belly

Ok let me state here that I think she's ok, but what does it mean when
a baby keeps pushing back her head and sticking out her belly (of
course with associated crying and not eating)? Its not all the time, it
just seems to be mainly with me rather than with the wife!

Jeff...

She is trying to say she has to make a poopie or pass gas?

Hard to say without actually seeing. Do you mean when she's laying
down? She might want you to pick her up. If she's in your arms, then
she doesn't want to be held, maybe by you, as in, maybe she just wants
down, to sit by herself. In which case, you could prop her up so she
can see and play with her that way. Of course, if she's just fussy all
round, then obviously, its something else. Like I say, it's kind of
hard to say without more detail.

JennP....

Sounds like gas.

Its when she is being fed, when I KNOW she should be hungry. Whether
sitting in a little support chair or in my arms, she does it.

Penny Gaines...

It means something like "please let me finish chewing this mouthful",
or "can I have a break to breathe for a moment, Daddy".

Just hold off feeding her for a moment, then start again.

Of course she might not be hungry at all.
