Cry Baby

A baby crying tops the list of stressors for new parents. Of course, is a baby's cry means to achieve something they need. In essence, is the only form of communication they have. The important thing to remember is, in most cases, it is not his fault and his son is normal.

Babies are usually in their 'season' mourn for three to eight weeks of age. This stage usually goes through about three months old. If you're hoping that the magic of time, here are some tips to help you and your baby face:

* Make sure there is no medical or physical reason for anxiety.
* Be sure that nothing is rough rubbing his skin and not too hot or too cold.
* Maintain and soothe your baby near you. Some babies enjoy the making, through his belly with his knee dominant hand for support under the arms and neck. Jiggle his leg and rub her back.
* Swaddling your baby could help. The safety of the soft blanket around many babies can give comfort, however, some babies are reluctant to be confined.
* Avoid excessive noise. The over-stimulation of a television, siblings or visitors can be altered.
* Try to white noise, such as your TV tuner to a station without a receipt, which can be soothing.
* Take a stroller for a spin. Sometimes the movement of a baby carriage can calm a cranky baby.
* Try a warm bath in a lowly lit area. He speaks softly, caressing and singing to your baby.
* Many babies have trouble digesting the formula, talk to your doctor about any sensitivities that might be causing gastric distress. Talk to your baby's doctor before administering any over-the-counter solutions.

Call your doctor if:

* Your baby is not behaving as usual and was not eating or sleeping.
* Your baby has a fever, is vomiting or has diarrhea.
* Do you think the cries of her baby could be a fall or injury.
* Your baby is still crying over past three months.
* You afraid that might hurt your baby.

What can I do for you?
The stress of a seemingly constant crying infant can take its toll on parents. Go to sleep (at least three hours twice a day), try to stay calm and not be afraid to ask for help. Find other parents for their advice and support. The message board, as ParentsCanada, and community-based programs offer support to new parents.

Most important, schedule time with a babysitter so that you can trust you to return to the track. Do not go!
