when did you let the baby cry it out?

Question

I'm not planning on starting to let my baby cry it out yet, she is only 7 weeks old. But I was wondering when others started. Sometimes no matter what I do she cries anyway so I didn't know if I should even let her cry it out a little now since nothing comforts her. Believe me I've tried everything, the five S's, myloccon drops, burping her, nothing works sometimes she just has gas and has to just let it pass.

Answer 1

babywise is a child abuse guide.

look, the human infant is incredibly stressed when separated from mommy (that's why day care is soooooo damaging.) when the infant is separated from mommy, her brain floods with cortisol. this is a stress hormone. it impairs learning and attachment.

there are many people raising children very very badly in america and england today. they raise them to be detached, unattached, sociopaths. don't listen to them. never let a baby cry it out. it's sick and inhumane. when moms realize that, their guilt often gets them to encourage other mothers to abuse their own children in this way, instead of sucking it up that they made a big mistake and warning no other mother to so abuse their own children.

you let her cry it out when you are ready to destroy her trust in you and teach her that the world is a miserable place where, when she is in pain, sad, scared, alone, tired, anxious, nervous, or whatever, she cannot count on mommy to take care of her. otherwise, only barbarians, the braindead, and the sociopathic do this to their infants and toddlers.

Answer 2

This can be very frustrating... but it happens to all babies...
My daughter cries every night starting between 6-7pm til about 10... it just happens, every night....
I know it sounds silly, but here are a few things I've tried that works...
I hold my daughter with her facing away from me, stretched across one of my arms, like when your nursing but away from you....
Sounds, my husband crinkles the wrapper to the baby wipes, she always stops crying.... turn on the shower and walk around the bathroom, I did that for hours with my son, he would sometimes stop.....
I'm a pushover, and I hate letting my kids cry without trying to do something.... my husband has to make me sit and not do anything..... sometimes it is good for them, but I always time it, like when my daughter was 2 months old, I would give her a 10 minute limit.... if she didn't calm down in 10 minutes, I would pick her up, now shes 3 months old, I give her a 15 minute limit....
And when you do put her down, don't let her see you, because when she see's you, she will want you to pick her up! And play music......calm music and water sounds always work....

Good luck!

Answer 3

i in my opinion do no longer do properly with the entire cry it out factor. from time to time I would desire to enable my 4 wk previous cry for somewhat reason I would desire to get something completed or would desire to flow to the bathing room yet different than that I p.c.. her up while she cries. At this element i think that she desires to comprehend that she will have faith me to come again and help her while she desires it. I held my son continuously while he replaced right into a infant and now he's very almost 3 a million/2 and he no longer needs that variety of convenience so I say enjoy it mutually because it lasts!

Answer 4

don't do it yet. 7 weeks is very young. most experts agree that it's possible (according to infant development) to spoil a child over 6 months of age. this is when kids begin to learn that you respond to their cries with what they want and will begin to cry just to get what they want. i'd say, between 5 and 7 months, as every kid is different. i got lucky and my child has been sleeping through the night since he was 2 months. but, i rocked him to sleep until he was 7 months and then began putting him down and letting him cry it out. this only took a couple of days and now he goes to bed without a fuss.

Answer 5

I started at about 6 months. It was really hard to listen to her cry, but I'm really glad that I did. Now she falls asleep on her own. Don't start too soon, because you have to build up her trust in you. It's also okay to put her down in her crib for a little while now to let her cry if you need a break. You can also try to gently push her knees into her belly to help with the gas.

Answer 6

I have the same problem with my 9 week old. Some days she just cries all day for no reason. I think that her problem is gas as well, and you just have to let them cry it out, although I can't stand to hear her cry, and I feel bad because I can't do anything for her to help. When she cries like that, I usually just feed her and hope and pray that she gets it out of her system.

Answer 7

Never! I always thought that if one of my children was crying ( and I feel blessed because they really did not cry much) it was because they were distressed and that was their only way of telling me so i never let them for a min. think that I did not care or that they were alone in their distress. I would comfort them with shushing in their ears and put my face against theirs and hold them tight if they were fussy ,That was after i did all of the other things ,like feeding and diapering, things like that. I would rock them. I did this with all of my grand-babies also and because I gained their trust they were calm children. I always stayed calm and was never stressed because i was told that a baby could feel your stress and then they would become more stressed. I,m sorry your little one is not feeling so good. Just hang in there.

Answer 8

i might start letting my baby cry it out between 3 or 4 mo. I was wondering the same thing. A book i bought called babywise says its never too early but i disagree im just gonna go on instinct. my baby ia also 7 wks and comfort nursing helps alot. Maybe that is an option for you. Nursing on demand is ok at this age and helps them get to sleep. Later i heard it can be a problem though. It seems cruel to me to let them cry but sometimes its better for you to walk away if you can,t handle it anymore. For me to hear crying is heart wrenching. The swing helps her calmdown.

Answer 9

if gas is the problem try laying her on your lap belly down with her head at the end by your knees. put your hands around her waist and massage her pelvic area. it will help her relax and pass gas. there is a pressure point right around that area. also try giving her about an ounce of water she could be getting dehydrated. drinking just formula causes gas and water will help with her being less gassy. i had the same problem with my youngest. i tried everything and the only thing that helped was the water and the massaging. if you get frustrated with her fussing, remember she will feel it and get worse. happy mom equals happy baby. good luck

Answer 10

I had a problem with my daughter with colic and gas. Lay her on her back, take her legs and push her knees into her stomach, that helps to get rid of a lot of gass. Also try Chamomile tea. Don't make it too strong, that helped to sooth as well, it helps with stomach discomfort and will calm her and maybe put her to sleep. I also bough homeopathic colic pills. I would give her about 6 at a time. They disolve instantly and they are a little sweet so they like them. also try putting her on her stomach and patting her back, a little bit more than you would to burp her. I hope one of these things works for you.

Answer 11

Our pediatrician said we should let him cry after 2 weeks; that's if he's already ate and his diaper has been changed. Otherwise, he will get used to being carried and we won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night. My son is 2 weeks old now and we couldn't ignore him when he cries. We always give in and end up carrying him.
