crying

[welovenewbabies]

So my boyfriend's family keeps telling me that when my baby is crying I should just leave her alone and ignore her. They b*tch at me for taking care of her. What am I supposed to do huh let her scream? Ugh

Differently and every mother thinks their way is the right way, and they think they ave the right to tell other mothers how their child should be taken care of. But you need to get your own schedule and do what you think is right. Good luck and just tell the other people saying that thanks for the advice.

Just tell them that you are greatful they want to help, but that you need to navigate being a new mom on your own. And that everyone has different ways of raising kids, and you are learning yours. Don't let them get to you or make you feel a certain way, being a mother is one of the hardest jobs in the world. As long as you are putting that baby first and all your love, that's all that matters!

Truthfully everyone raises their kids diff

The whole concept of "crying it out" only applies to kids 1 years old or older. Newborns/babies do not cry for no reason they cry because they need something from being held, walked, bounced, or just a boob to suck on, etc. And if your child is left crying it effects their social development.

Youre the mother, do what YOU think is right for the baby. Dont let others tell you what to do. It doesnt matter if they ***** or not. They probably "hate"/"envy" you and so they say things like that to get to you. I know my mother in law is gonna be like that when my baby arrives but its MY baby, so i raise it and take care of it my way, not hers. Hun just relax and hold the baby, walk around, check its diaper and see if its full, maybe the baby is hungry, maybe sick... Just do things your way :)

I'd ignore them. You're her mother and nobody knows how to take care of her better than you

I mean I don't get her right away every time she crys i try to let her stop but I mean she don't sometimes so I have to care for her. I'd be a bad mom if I didnt... but his parents are around maybe once a week if that and they are like oh well she's not like that here she don't act like that, news flash just because somedays she's very good don't mean she don't have really bad days either.
