| I must say, I am astonished. It is a pity, I am not English speaker and cannot express properly what I felt when I read some messages on this thread.
First of all, Muffin, I really and fully simpathyse with you, I am exactly in the same situation as your. My baby is now 17 months old and she always had too much energy, I´d say, she cannot stop. Since she was born, she's been more or less like that, she cried in the very moment I put her in her cot, so I used to have her always in my arms and then in a holder, this is all what she needed. I´ve always been also quite alone with her since we live far away from our families, so I know what you are going through. It has been very hard some days, BUT I NEVER, EVER, LET HER CRY. N E V E R. We, as parents, MUST take care of our child.
I have clear, this is a baby and I am the adult and this is only a phase, one of you said they are frightened, of course they are!!!! They need to be with you, to smell you, skin-to-skin, if possible, and they will feel reassured and "safe".
According to some of you, "shut the door", or "listen to music" is a good advice.
Have you ever tried to put yourself in your baby´s shoes?? 
Do you know about RESPECT for people? 
Would you like that your husband, your mom, your friend etc. let you cry or do not hug you when you need it????
Do you happen to know the side effects of letting a baby cry?
Do you know it is not compulsory to have a baby?????
Time flies, maybe on day you are 90 and are crying in a nursing home and your son/daughter comes and tells you that you are fed and warm and then shut the door and let you cry alone. You will know then how it feels!!!
Of course they do not cry anymore after the second day, they are sure, they cannot count on their parents to come and hug them.
Muffin, send me a private any time you need to talk, hug your baby, dance with her in a holder, you will never regret not having ingnore your baby. | |

Yes, yes, precious little snowflakes should never ever cry. To let them do so makes you an awful parent.
