IF U DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER DON'T ANSWERTO THOSE OUT THERE WHO ARE NOT PARENTS

THANK U

I want to thank those u gave me yall opinion on my baby, but he is not spoil nor colicky and i don't really know if it is teething because he don't want nothing in his mouth. However I am going to give him one more day to see if acts the same if he does I'm going to take him to see his pedritician to see if its the milk because he whines from the morning all the way til he goes to sleep. Yes he will laugh and coo but for like 3 mins and then the whining start again.

Well It's been a week already since my Precious Devin was whining. And the whining has gone away like magic.
It was just a stressful day and I decided to ask. Wow and I got lot of responses. lol
I am a proud mother and I needed advised at the moment. thanx to all

Answer 1

It looks like the prblem has gone away but a comment here. Your question asked and complained about the whining. Unfortunately we cannot know if this is just an off day for you and your baby (we all have those) or if you are like some other posters here who are just totally intolerant of their children. I'm glad that the whining has stopped even if you couldn't know a reason for it. Teething comes to mind - those gums are itchy for a while before they start to cut through and he may not need to bite yet.

Answer 2

You can't spoil a baby that young.
First of all have you tried the drops that are made for baby gas pains?
He still could be allergic to the formula if he fusses all the time.
Wouldn't hurt to change the forumla. Also try a security blalnket and a pacifer.
Some babys are just fussy. He might be teething......try some of that numbs it stuff.
You need some time away from this even if it is a 10 minute walk when daddy gets home. Sometimes babys feel the parents stress. In a way we teach our children how to react. If you are tense that will not help his mood. Instead of trying to keep baby content on his own, try giving him more time and relaxing time. No hurry. After a bath give him a slow massage with baby lotion.
Check out the atmospheer around your house. is there loud music? too much tv. Try some soft sweet music. In the evening Make the house a peaceful place.
Look your baby in your eye when you speak to him, speak in a happy voice. Don;t make him cringe at your voice, that will set you up for years of troubles. Talk to him a lot. After all that is how he will learn to talk. If he makes a noise, you make the noise.
The baby may not be getting enough sleep. Try putting him down just before he starts to crash. An over tired baby is cranky.
Also remember once you think you have him figured out, he will change. He is also at the phase when he is getting bored. .He wants to touch everything, experience everything but can't. Supply him with plenty of things to check out.......toys, tupperware, whatever is safe and interests him

I wish you the best.

I noticed that everything has worked itself out...I also have a three year old and a five month old and know how frustrating it can be. I have recently gone threw the same thing. Sometimes its cause his mouth hurts, cause I put one finger in his mouth to feel his gums and there are already bumps where the teeth are pushing there way threw, there are times when he just cries (colic) just to cry and sometimes ends up being just air on his belly (which I give him gas drops before every feeding.) He has new cues every day that confuses me on an ongoing basis but I get threw it.
Sometimes he cries just cause he wants on the floor for floor time to roll over and get stuck to cry some more cause he can't get back over on his back and can't move further than his little body can take him. Which is honestly funny at times but I have to be in a calm mood to deal with it.
Today my boys have been up most of the night so they are taking a little extra nap at the moment which gives me mommy time to kind of relax and enjoy the peace cause I never know what they will do or what mood they will be in when they wake up.
Just thought I would tell you, you are not alone.
Have a great day.

Calm down...you being annoyed will make the baby even more upset. Is the baby gassy? Does he get hiccups a lot? If the problem isn't in his milk then maybe your baby is just bored. Are there always new things to look at and taste? Get a couple of his toys together. Sit with him and show him what all the different toys do one at a time. (I'm talking small teething toys that would interest such a young fella) If that doesn't help it could be tummy trouble.

Answer 5

My son is 5 months old and it is the typical age to start developing seperation anxiety. The baby is scared and afraid. It knows that everything is "big."

But if not the case, 1. Colic, ask pediatrician.
2. Is he gassy? mycolin gas relief drops
3. is he bored? maybe his looking for something fasinating. Try baby play mats.

if this does not help try reading "what to expect.. the first years"
this book is a life saver.

But, above all.. put him in his crib or safe place. take a step back. breath. and remember he is only little and is very helpless. you are his life support. (it is ok to do this every now and again, and it is good for you both)

Answer 6

It's possible that he's teething, which can make them pretty irritable. (My 6 month old just cut her first tooth.) More likely is that he's learning how to get your attention. Don't listen to people who tell you you're spoiling him. Contrary to popular belief, infants don't have the cognitive ability to manipulate. They are however, learning cause and effect and social interaction. My guess would be that he is learning that when he whines he gets attention from you. Which is exactly what he should be figuring out at this stage. If it really bothers you, you could try giving more attention when he's happy to reinforce the behavior you want.

Answer 7

i know exactly what you mean. i watch my niece for 11 hours every day and she is now 6 months old. and the same thing. when i leave the room its crys more than before. no matter what im doing, and it gets sooo annoying i almost flip out every day. this is why i dont want kids. but i just have to deal w it. she whines when i go to the kitchen, outside on balcony, on couch behind her, put her to bed, if i go to the bathroom, etc. i know, i guess its normal tho. but i do not give in to all her cries like her parents may. this way it allows her to grow and play on her own and that someone wil not always be ther for every cry. u have to do it. but yes the whining gets under my skin every day

Answer 8

Babys know how the parents are feeling. If his whining is bothering you then he can tell. That doesn't mean your a bad mom. My son used to scream when I'd bath him & my aunt came over one day & said he can sense that you are tense & when she took over he stopped screaming almost instantly...that made me feel really bad...but then I learned to relax more & it helped. I was always so nervous I would hurt him somehow or get water in his nose or something & with him crying I would try to hurry because I would think oh no hes cold!!!.....it was more like (in my sons unspoken words)...oh no...mommys a nervous wreck!!! So that's the key...work on those emotions...babies know whats going on. Best of luck! God bless.

Answer 9

Mine does that. He's 9 mo. He didn't start quite that early though. When he starts it, I'll just turn around and make a funny face or try to amuse him. I'll do it several times, then go on about my business. So many times when he has done it, I'd say "I'm coming back." Now it's like he knows what I mean and sometimes he'll quit.
It is completely normal.

Answer 10

Sounds spoiled to me. You shouldn't have to hold your baby all the time. Try a parenting book like, "What To Expect the First Year". My baby is the same age, and that book seems to have answers or at least suggestions to most of my concerns.
