If there is a lot of turmoil in your life your baby can sense that and it is upsetting her. Also, if you are getting frustrated she can sense that too. Take time with her, don't let anyone else watch her for a couple of weeks and stay very calm when you are dealing with her. She will stop.

First off, you should know now, children are always better behaved for other people. I don't know why that is but they are.
Second, try white noise. Lay the baby down and put the radio on a "fuzzy" station or run the vacuum or blow dryer. Or get a noise maker, like rain or birds, whatever. You will have to play around till you find what works for you. Do you have the "What to expect in the first year" book? Its a great resource.
My daughter had to swaddled and in her swing constantly and my son in his vibrating bouncy seat thing and we'd have to keep it moving. You really just have to play around till you find something. Take a deep breath, it will be OK.
Good Luck!

I found the best thing for my son was to put him in a front carrier (like a Baby Bjorn) so that he was lying snugly against my chest. I could then have my hands free and do whatever I needed to do. I'd clean house or whatever I felt like and he almost always fell asleep right away. After a little while, I could often take him out of the carrier and lie him down in his crib and he'd continue to sleep. (If that doesn't work, you can keep her in the carrier, but sit in a rocker or recliner and get some much deserved rest while she sleeps.)

She feels your stress. Babies feel when we are upset. You need a break honey. Ask your mother or a family member to watch her for a bit and go do something for yourself. It will make you feel much better. Even if its just a nap, you need a break. It will make things more relaxed. Being a new mom is very stressful. Good luck sweetie and take care.

I'am going throught the same things it may be colic. The baby is experiencing abdominal gas pains probably or it may be her milk deewees help and a prscription call levisin. This will pass but sometime they say up to newborn to 12months old I pray to God that mine stops now she is 5months. It has gotten better.Keep her head covered at all times and her ears this will make it worse. Make sure she is not to cold or to hot. This will help Holding her skin to skin also help but cover to both up. God bless you because I know it is hell For the 1st 3monhs of her life I didn't sleep at all.

Things that have worked for me in the past is running a vacuum cleaner or putting them in their car seat and placing it on the dryer while it is running. Also, a vibrating chair (I think walmart sells them) worked.
If you need to, put the baby in a playpen and go to your room to chill out until you feel a little better. Put a "Baby Einstein" show on while you are away from her for a few minutes.
Good Luck hun.

i work with kids and babies and they always wait till their parents are around before they throw their worst fits and cry the most.
she probably cries more around you because she feels that YOU are the one most capable of protecting her, maybe it's an instinct.
i just read a study that says that no one way is the best way to put a child to sleep, but once you pick one, you have to stick with it and it will work. the baby wants dependability and consistency from you, in other words. so don't get discouraged.

Make sure it is not a medical problem or allergy to the formula/breast milk. Sometimes people will tell you she is not crying that much because they just want to help. Maybe you are to nervous and she senses that. Try to relax. Good Luck! I know it is stressful.

I know that this will sound weird to you, but if you find out she has colic, turn on a handheld or regular vacuum beside her. Usually, loud noises like that will calm a baby with colic. Good luck!

Believe it or not children do sense frustration and negativity from their parents as little as they are. Be patient and careful and show them love. My sister's son does the same thing he stays peacefully with me but cries with her. this is because sometimes she handles him rough without realising it, she learned to have patience with him and now they are inseparably. Don't worry things will soon change.
