DO YOU HAVE A CRYING NEWBORN BABY YOU WANT TO SOOTHE????


It`s a known fact that babies cry a lot when they are little.

After a baby is born, comes a few months when no one can sleep very good, because the baby cries every night. Babies cry because of many reasons: they can either be hungry or need to be changed. Babies need to sleep very much while they are little and so, after a day of sleeping they wake up in the middle of the night. Also, if the baby cries even if he is changed and feed then you should probably go with him to the doctor. A little baby has the immune system very weak. He can catch any disease very easily and so parents should be very careful.

I suffered a lot with my kid. The first 3 months my son was crying a lot. I don't know why he was crying. I thought may be because of hungry. After he took milk again he started crying. Especially night time he was not sleeping well. Lack of sleep for me. Constantly getting up in the middle of the night made it impossible for me, most of the times to fall back asleep.Hence it made me feel drowsy and tired almost every day. He didn't have much sleep either ... as he has to wake up, cry and wake me up.That way he started taking long naps during the day.
I still remember one day night he was continuously crying. Whole night no one slept at my home. Next day morning i met my doctor. I asked him. why kids are crying continuously??? My doctor explained all the reasons to me.

Reasons for crying:
1.In the early days, before feeding patterns are established, hunger is probably your baby's main reason for crying. Many parents find feeding responsively is easiest at the beginning.
2.Feeling too hot or too cold
Excessive crying:
Some babies simply do cry more than others. Reasons why include:
1.Temperament - each baby is different and some will be more 'fussy' than others and may seem to cry more, often right from birth, with no obvious explanation.
2. 'Jumpy' baby - some babies may be very sensitive to touch or to changes.
3.Difficult birth - for example, babies who were born prematurely, or those who've had to be in special care.
4.Environmental change - some babies can be more sensitive to changes in their surroundings or care routine.
5. New developmental stage - babies often cry more just before they take some big steps in learning or growth.
6.Tension - some babies sense when their parents are tense and it can affect their behaviour, but are you feeling tense because your baby cries a lot, or is he crying a lot because you're tense?
7.Colic or wind.
8.Needing a nappy change.
9. Feeling bored and wanting company.
10.Being upset and wanting a cuddle.
11.Getting overstimulated.
12.Wanting to be held.
13.Feeling pain

My doctor gave me lot of tips to soothing my baby. After that he stopped crying. He started good sleep at night time.

Comforting your baby:

1.Carry your baby close - snuggle him close to you in a baby carrier or sling.
2.Massage - gentle stroking and massage of all kinds can help calm your baby, but don't massage his tummy before he's four weeks old, miss out his spine and avoid nut-based oils such as almond oil.
3.Music - rhythmic sounds or music can help comfort newborns and even the droning sound made by a washing machine or vacuum cleaner help soothe some babies.
4.Movement - rock him in your arms or a cradle, or push your baby in his pram.
5.Fresh air - get out and about because even if the crying doesn't stop, it won't seem quite so bad outdoors.
6.Wind - some babies feel better after they've had a chance to bring up some wind, so try placing your baby in an upright position against your shoulder and patting his back gently.
7.Bath - a warm bath can instantly calm some babies, but be aware it can have the opposite effect.
8.Take your baby into a quieter room and soothe him by gentle cuddles and soft singing.

Don't get upset Your baby won't cry forever. Generally, as your baby gets older he'll get more interested in his surroundings and will cry less.

HAVING A CHILD IS A BLESSING. CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE, AND SINCE THEY ARE LITTLE, PARENTS TRY TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING. THE JOB OF A PARENT IS TO RAISE HIS/HER CHILD THE BEST WAY HE/SHE CAN. THE YEARS WHEN YOUR CHILD IS LITTLE BABY ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS ONES. IT'S A GREAT FEELING TO HOLD IN YOUR ARMS, A LITTLE THING THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GROW UP AND BECOME JUST LIKE YOU
