Please don't consider me a bad parent...my seven week old is very, very fussy. Some might call it colic, but honestly she sometimes does her bored/cranky cry, and I can easily tell the difference between this and a pain cry. Some days she will cry her cranky cry nomatter what I do....I'll swaddle her, rock her, dance with her, put her in a sling/baby bjorn, put her in her bouncy seat, drive her around the block, run the vacuum/hairdryer for white noise....and nothing seems to work. I can't even get her bottles made or grab something to eat. Now this isn't every day, but it happens frequently. Can I let her cry for a bit? I had to today to make her bottles up, and I went back to carry her around in about 10 minutes and she fell fast asleep.
I've always believed you can NOT spoil a baby this young, but then I never had one that could keep this up all day at times. I am not sure how to handle it....as I said, she's not in pain, eats well, sleeps well at night..what to do?
