I have a 6 month old daughter and today looked after my friends 3 month old and almost 3 year old son.
First the 3 month old screamed, then my daughter and then the oldest started screaming because he wanted more juice!

to ccc: What does this question have to do with yound parents not teaching their kids anything??? If you're so good, teach my baby not to cry to let me know she's hungry!

Because misery loves company, hahahaha! I know what you mean though. I have a day care in my home and if one starts they all start. It's hard with babies, but I tell the older ones that they have to ask nicely if they want or need something and then I don't give in when they start fussing. But with babies I think it's a loud noise they hear and they either don't like it and start crying or they are trying to imitate the sound. Attention competition plays a big role as well. Take care.

The first one started to cry because wet or hungry which scared the 6 month old and the 3 year old just didn't want to be out done and figured he could get a drink out of it..

It is a conspiracy to see who will win your attention first. Really the 3 month old had needs yours sympathized with the first and the 3 year old want in on the act too.

babies cry cuz they are babies. kids do cuz no one tells them to not cry over stupid things. i have two now grown kids. it appears to me that young parents have a problem teaching kids ANYTHING and saying the word NO>
and now, employers no longer want to hire these same indulged young kids. they feel they are being spolied and will not work.
it is giving me job security!

Because kids know that there's strength in numbers.
