crying baby

[Tiwatope]

My boy is 2weeks. Seems to cry for every little thing.  Cry to eat, change diaper,  bath,  cry to sleep. Do anyone have a baby like this? How did you cope or what did you do to get the baby calm and stop crying?

In America (not sure where you're from) the hospital usually gives you a guide or DVD about purple crying. It's crying without a discernable cause that can last up to four hours at a time and be considered normal. A lot of people mistake it for colic because baby really sounds like they are in pain.
They say to try your soothing techniques, whether feeding, changing, bathing, swaddling or rocking baby, and if that doesn't work, put baby in the crib for a few minutes so you don't lose your cool. Good luck mama. I know it's frustrating but the good news is that people crying usually goes from about two to eight weeks, so it's not forever.

I know what your saying about grandparents!  Its like they've forgotten that babies sometimes just cry. My grandparents were the exact same way. Sometimes my first born would just cry bc she was tired and didn't want held anymore. I was her mother and had learned to recognize that cry but if they were around they go all crazy if I wasn't holding her and trying to do something and when that wouldn't work bc she didn't want anything other than to be put down they would be ready to rush her to the ER thinking something was seriously wrong SMH.

My son did the same turns out it was gas, try going to Walmart and getting infant had drops give as directed curl their legs up on their stomach and lightly press into their stomach while rocking them, this saved my life!!!!

It could be tummy aches. Try rubbing the Baby tummy in a circular motion (from right to left) so you can help push out excess gas and air.

Thanks mothers.  I am sure not complaining neither am I frustrated yet. But when you have the grama's and grapa around, they make you seems like you are doing something wrong that is why the baby cries. Kept telling me he must be in pain, like stomach pain.... and I know as a mother that, that is not the case most of the time.  It is just the baby communicating his need.

My daughter started crying a lot at 2 weeks. Usually at 5pm until it was bed time. (It only lasted 2 weeks) I even took her to the dr! Of course she didn't cry in the office, but as soon as we got in the car she cried all they way home! Lol, stinker. I was told she just has so much energy and can't do anything to release it other than to cry. It can be stressful but remember it doesn't last forever. We would put her in her crib while we ate supper. And then we would bring her back down. Check to see if they are hungry, wet, hurt... If not, put them down for awhile and take a break to get yourself together.

Those are normal things that babies cry for in which they can't communicate by talking

Try to remember that that is the only way baby has to communicate his needs. Just try to meet his needs the best you can. Some babies just cry sometimes, too.
