The baby in my mom's daycare didn't want her bottle, she didn't want a musical toy, she didn't want her pacifier. She didn't want her crawling thingy. She didn't want the spinning sitting thing (lol). She's a pre-me baby with a feeding tube. What could she want besides wanting to play with my beads?

I did. She hollered. I laid her down with a bottle & a doll baby wrapped under a cover... She still was crying! She stood up (pre-mes are amazing) & went crazy!

She's spoiled enough, but I'll hold her for a while.

Hum to her....let her play with your beads SUPERVISED.....Rub noseys with her......Bounce her on your knee.....Dance with her.....Show her that she is loved and is safe by playing with her hands and hugging her and whispering Shhhhhhhhh in her ear softly......Let her sit on your lap while you help her play with the other kids....Have another kid talk to her and tell her Hi....Be patient with her!

TLC and lots of holding
Pre-me's are known for needing extra special time and more one on one time. Try to be patient with the little one, she is having a hard time coping with the early arrival too.... this is a shock to her as well.... Most pre-me's are always behind others their same physical age, just keep in mind there is a difference in the physical age and mental age.... One was born full term and other other not - it does make a difference in how it affects the child.
I am not saying the pre-me is dumb - by all means she will probably be smarter than 1/2 the people she knows by the time she is done with college but that will be because she had to work harder and learned to appreciate the learning process simply because it did not come as easily for her growing up....

I would suggest that your mother try to take care of this -- you are only 13. She is the one hired to do this. That said, I found that my grandson loved being outside. If you can find a piece of shade and get outside with the child without the others going crazy and wanting to go, that might help. From birth, being outside soothed him. I could just stand in the yard holding him and he would calm down. Also, please don't think that just because a baby wants to be held that they are spoiled. You haven't said how old, but if you are saying "baby" this child is not spoiled. They want love, attention, care, and even more for a preemie. Good luck.

Everyone knows that I'm not keen on babies, but I saw something remarkable, once.
A pediatrician on TV said he could calm and quiet *ANY* crying baby, and someone from the audience actually came up with one!
The doctor laid a blankie across his lap, and lay the baby on it, and then showed us ho to swaddle the baby, which is a special kind of wrapping (I'm sure there are websites to show you how).
Then he lifted the baby and made soft, shushing sounds to it, and it quieted right down...I was astonished!
The Doctor said that the shushing sounds sound like the blood rushing through the uterine arteries, and the swaddling feels like being still in the womb. So, Baby feels secure!

Well, Im going to say it, but babies have senses too. If you are not calm, the baby is not going to be calm. If you have tried many things, then obviously you are getting stressed. Have someone else give it a shot, and gently love on the baby, maybe some sooothing music in the background and some cradling.

are you being sarcastic because you said "shut up a baby"?? how do you know what the baby feels? the baby is too young to tell you what he/she wants. especially as a premie and a feeding tube, obviously the baby is not 100%.. maybe you need more patience or find yourself another job if you can't handle a crying baby in a day care.

If the beads help quiet her and they are safe (supervise carefully!), then let her play with them.
Babies just cry sometimes for 'no reason' other than to let off steam.
But long hard crying must be checked out carefully.
And by the way.....you don't EVER 'shut a baby up'.

Preemies need extra care and attention. Afterall, they were born early. Try singing, bouncing, cuddling, reading to her, etc. Or...maybe she's not getting enough nutrients from her feeding tube??
NEVER smack or slap! Babies, at any age, do not understand what they are doing wrong. Slapping could only make things worse.

A baby never cries for nothing. They maybe seeking love, it comforts them if missing mum and love is love. She maybe fancy her diaper off, she may want entertaining or wind, hunger, teething......list goes on.
There are signs and I always found the fastest way to tire a baby is to educate them. Sit them down or bounce on the knee with flash cards. The way I did them made a difference. Do sounds relating to picture etc...
Stories can easily bore the very young as they have little understanding but big bright images catches their attention in many ways. They learn, you tire them out, it entertains them. If in a baby group then you could play snap with them etc with other children too, teaching them how to interact together. I did with my own little class of only seven kids but its great getting them to do something all together. Big and loud works well!!!
I soon realised how much babies took in and how quickly they learn too, and I spoke to them and watched their body language for answers to what I couldn't grasp from the baby squeel or scream.

the newborn is complaining with the aid of fact they do no longer desire to be with you the two. right here’s the undertaking: adult males are fixers. we adore to restoration issues, yet this infant crying element won't be some thing you are able to restoration. so which you run in direction of the litany of issues you are able to restoration, and whilst the checklist is exhausted, you’re finished. right here’s the drill: be sure the newborn remains respiratory. be sure the newborn isn’t bleeding. examine the newborn’s diaper and alter if mandatory. See if the newborn is hungry or thirsty, yet don’t rigidity the situation. in the event that they do no longer want the bottle, enable or no longer this is. See in case you are able to convenience the blessed infant with the aid of cradling them gently and extremely gently rocking them and chatting with them. If those issues don’t artwork, get ear plugs and hit upon a quieter place the place you are able to recoup for a speedy time. the final element you like is to get (extra) annoyed with the newborn and shake or in any different case harm them. the newborn will stay to tell the tale no count in case you stop the crying or no longer.

The baby is a premie so she might have some problems and just isnt feeling well. All you can do if she rejects these things is have patience and hold her, talk to her, love her. Maybe too she just needs to sleep and fights it. Just be gentle and loving to her and understanding to the situation.
