Weird? Is this medical or spiritual?

[Gabriel_Charlie]

I am going to be 21 tomorrow. I have a 5 month old son and recently when I put him to bed he falls asleep and as soon as I leave the room (like 7 minutes) later, he starts crying and then his face gets all red. My husband is an aboriginal (his whole family) and his grandmother keeps telling me that Charlie is crying because of spirits. When I talked to Gabriel (my husband) he told me to leave him out of this one. What do I do? Please serious answers only, I'm not joking..

I agree that he may be having some gas pain or reflux.  Have you discussed the physical symptoms with his doctor??  That would be my next step.  good luck

How is he feeding does he eat well, it may be some acid reflux and he has some tummy pain, how do you mean the bedding is poor quality?

Thank you, last night I woke up about 5 times.. I checked his bed and he has some sort of discomfort because lately I noticed the bedding in his crib is poor quality. I don't know what to do. What this be the cause of his upsetting mood?

   Ya, I agree with Adgal.  Your spirit has left with you and your son misses you.  He does need something to comfort him (besides you).  Its ok to let him cry a bit (as hard as that seems).  Does he have a pacifier?

I will start by saying I fully respect your families spiritual beliefs and would never mock them.  And who am I to say that what your husband's grandmother is not true.

I will however offer up an alternative possibility.  Your son is aware of the fact that you are not there when you leave the room.  At this age they cannot really grasp the fact that when mommy leaves, she comes back.  In his mind, your not there, therefor your gone.  Most babies go through this, and it's fairly normal.  All the best to you.
