Do you have any tricks to make a 2 month old, stop crying??

Question

I bounce all day long,,,,,,,,,and sing twinkle twinkle star,,,,,,all day!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Have you tried MASSAGING your baby? Get some baby oil that you warmed up previously under warm tap water and try a soothing (and very, very delicate) massage. All babies enjoy touch and being caressed, especially by mommy.

I hope that helps. Oh, and have you talked to his pediatrician? Babies cry for many reasons and yours could be suffering from colic, which is very common in babies that age.

Good luck, mommy! ♥

Answer 2

My daughter was colicy at that age and would scream and cry every night from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., like clockwork. The only thing that would console her was putting her in a papoose across my chest, turning on some "white noise" (running the vacuum cleaner, running a hair dryer, turning the TV on a channel with only static), and walking her around the house (all at the same time). After a few months, she finally grew out of it.

It was a very stressful time for me, so I can appreciate how desperate you must feel right now. I know it can be hard on a new mommy trying to figure out what works. Try everything. You'll eventually find something that helps. If the papoose thing works for you, use that time to get your chores done. That way you can get some rest when your baby does finally settle down for a nap.

Good luck to you. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you have to hold or entertain the baby all day, they are probably a little spoiled. It's ok, but try what my daughter did. Put them on the floor on their tummy and let them cry and wiggle a little.Then call their name a few times and say mommy's here. Then turn them over on their back and play peek a boo with a blanket in front of your face. This reinforces that when you are out of sight, your voice lets them know you are near. When they become accostomed to the floor play, get stimulating toys to build their muscles(stretching, reaching,arching back,rollingover). Soon they will be weaned off of their need for your every second of time and able to play independently for a short time.Oh, and talk to them, or sing even when you aren't holding them.Your voice is the connection they need. But having said all this, remember that you need to spend an equal amount of time holding them as not. Let relatives or daddy take over to give you a break or a nap. The housework can wait because they grow up so fast. And you are building a bond with your baby which is so important.

Answer 4

Take the baby to the doctor to make sure nothing is wrong with him/her. My son did the same thing when he was around that age, he cried all the time and I would try and soothe him, the only thing that would work was turning the vacuum on for a little while (it would put him to sleep). When I did take him to the doctor it turns out he had an inner ear infection, after I got some medication for him he was a totally different baby, and I take him to the doctor for any little thing now, I would rather be safe than sorry.
Good luck!!

Answer 5

This can be a tough one. Babies crying is one way they communicate how they are feeling. They don't cry when comfortable, happy and content.Consider two possibilities. 1)Sometimes they cry because there is TOO MUCH attention. They sleep up to 90% of the time. When babies are new we want to play with them, and every visitor wants awake time with them. Best advice is to never wake a sleeping baby! That means you have to organize your day around the baby's nap times. Remember, if you had someone poking at you all night long you would be pretty cranky in the morning. So, sleep when the baby sleeps, and forbid anyone to wake the baby. 2) Any possible pain issues must be addressed, such as constipation, teething, stomach aches... Have you explored any milk intolerance issues? Colic may result from a lactose intolerance. If your baby is formula fed or supplemented, ask your pediatrician about a soy formula. If your baby is breast feeding, check your diet for gas producing foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, beans, even chocolate.
Be an advocate for your baby. Insist your baby's MD address this issue, and not brush it off as "he'll grow out of it".
Hope this helps. Enjoy your baby!

Answer 6

appears like classic colic. If he's on a milk based formula, swap to a soy one, it can be a milk hypersensitivity, fairly if between the mum and dad had a milk hypersensitivity. At 2 a million/2 months, colic is exceedingly much over, it in many situations ends via or outstanding around 3 months. (Then teething starts off). We found a snugli helped. jogging. opposite soccer carry (protecting toddler face downwards mendacity on fore arm with head at your elbow). We had a ordinary of a number of issues to attempt, then we'd initiate back. washer noise, dryer noise, going for acontinual. The screaming is astonishing. We made a recording of our daughter, I bear in techniques on the time thinking that she wasn't at finished tension. Months later we listened to the tape and have been surprised on the sound of it. there's a tendancy to feed too lots because they are no longer screaming on the same time as they are nursing. That makes them spit up alot, they might experience bloated and gassy besides. Ovol drops for gas helped each and every so often. yet no longer that lots. Get friends or kin to spell you out for containing and strolling him on the same time as he's screaming. you will want a ruin. solid success. the teenager years will make this appear as if the solid old days.

Answer 7

try gently blowing in his/her face. it really works. just don't blow hard. kinda like when you inhale deep and exhale slow. does that make sense?

i do this with my 10 month old all the time. i'm always at the dr.'s office and some of them she can't crawl on the floors. so she starts screaming and crying. this method has worked great.

becareful using the vacuum method. some babies are afraid of it. it can seem too loud. but it helps put my baby to sleep. she'll stop crying when i turn it on. but a few seconds after i stop vacuuming she's back to crying.

you baby could also have colic, or gas. try asking your pediatrician if you haven't already. good luck, i know it's rough.

Answer 8

Is the baby hungry, thirsty, wet, dirty,hot or cold, need of some compay? Once you have crossed those of your list and the baby hasn't slept for three hours,swaddle the baby, make sssh shh noises whilst rocking. It takes a couple of minutes. Put the baby down for a sleep and then you take a rest as well.

Answer 9

Babies cry because they are either tired or over stimulated, hungry or uncomfortable.

You have definitely been given him lots of attention, so it's not because he is unloved.

It sounds to me like your baby is tired and overstimulated.

If your baby has no fever and you have burped him properly after his feeding, you should lay him down in his crib and give him the opportunity to go to sleep.

Babies, do scream alot when they are tired and even more when you put them down to sleep. But be patient and check in on the little one every 5 - 10 minutes to make sure he is still safe.

Do not pick them up out of the crib once you have said it is time for bed, just check on them.

Good Luck !

PS. I tried all the tricks walking the baby in the freezing cold between 12 - 3 am - putting the baby in a bouncy chair - on the washing machine etc.

The only thing that worked was to let them scream and LEARN to put themselves to sleep.

Answer 10

Wrap them in a blanket and hold them super close and sway back and forth.

Put in bouncy seat and let them watch some baby Einstein.

Take them for a car ride.

Put them in the stroller and go for a walk.

I have four kids, and different things worked for each of them.....try not to feel frustrated, because the baby really can sense that. If you feel like you just can not handle it, put the baby in their crib for a few minutes, and step out on your front step and get a breath of fresh air and then....try again.....even better call a friend and have them try for a bit.
