| Re: help ! how to deal with baby crying
Very good posting, Mrs Boris! Babies are meant to be held and they always cry for a reason, even if that reason is just for a cuddle and to hear mum or dad's voice reassuring them.
Our little guy was cuddled the whole time he was tiny and we carried him around most of the day in the BabyBjorn. Now he is 16 months old he still comes for his cuddles, but he is also happy to wander around the flat and find things to amuse himself with knowing that I am just a "Maaamaaa!" away. He's also one of the most independent babies in his nursery and waltzes off as soon as I can get his slippers on when he arrives. No clingyness whatsoever.
Speaking from personal experience, it would have torn me up inside to leave that little fella crying in his cot all alone.
To the OP, I know extended crying is tiring and upsetting but try not to let it get you down and if you are worried at all, go and see the baby's doctor - you never know, it might be something as simple as a bit of earache which gets painful towards the end of the day.  |
