How much time does your baby spend crying?

carriesu2003 · March 2013

I feel like if DD is awake than she is crying. We have the rare 5 or ten minutes here or there but unless she is eating, or sleeping she is crying hysterically. I know colic is to blame for many of her symptoms but sometimes I get the feeling from other peoples posts that their babies are on this "schedule" where napping and eating come so easily. When I see the posts about schedules I think when do you schedule in crying? No but seriously, how much is your baby crying? I feel like I am alone.

Don't feel alone! My first was exactly like this! She cried insessantly and she NEVER slept. To make matters worse, we lived with my parents, and my father was always telling me to "make her stop crying."

Like I would let her cry if I kne

Your not alone. My little one is happy sometimes when she is awake but so much time I feel I am trying to calm her. To make it worse she won't take a pacifier which makes falling asleep even harder. The only way I can get her to sleep is the swing or r

Definitely not alone! DS1 was such an easygoing baby; Newbie is a screamer! A precious little screamer. Same as yours, he eats, sleeps, poops, and screams.

You are not alone. I've got a screamer too! It just recently, like in the last few days, seems to be getting better. Growth spurts SUCK with a colicky baby. It's like double the screaming. I just take it day by day and take all the help I can get.

We've gone through crying phases, hang in there! There have been stretches where LO is unhappy except when eating or taking short naps from like 6 to midnight. It's tiring stuff!

I actually took a break from the boards when I felt the same as you

DS is a much easier baby than my first. DD required constant attention and I always had to be doing something with her. She lived in a SwaddleMe for 6 weeks, and I got so used to the 5 S's I could literally do them sleeping.
Hang in there, it does

DD1 was the same - if I ever set her down then within 2 minutes or less she was screaming bloody murder. It got better around 5ish months (but she was a preemie, so I would assume it gets better earlier with term babies). Luckily, DD2 is much more easy go

My LO is exactly like this too. It's incredibly frustrating. At 6.5 weeks we are just starting to get into a "routine" but that routine is just based on my DS general sleeping and eating patterns. We can't put him down for more than 10 minutes the entire

Keep telling yourself " this too shall pass" soooo hard at the time I know. My DS was like that, it was brutal. 5 s's helped. It gets better, and he is a very good toddlerso hopefully you'll get lucky then . Hang in there!!

My LO cried for the first three weeks of his life. I remember the worst night, My DH was at work, and DS had been crying since 8 p.m. and it was almost midnight. At one point I was just holding in him bed, both of us bawling. I think the only thi
