Answer 1

first off be a man and a dad hold your baby run the vacumn to calm them talk to the child forpetes sakes you did help bring it into the wourld help out and grow some nuts

Answer 2

babies always cry and make unbearable noises. First dont have anymore kids since you are complaining about a normal occurance. Second remember that your baby will not scream forever. As the child grows older, he/she will stop crying as much. The only way the baby can communicate is through crying. Imagine not being able to speak. How would you get your point across and call attention to yourself?
If the baby is screaming so loud and you are too upset, put the baby down in the crib and leave the room for a few minutes to calm down. Then try using a pacifier or holding the baby and rocking the baby to make him/her calm down. Also check to see if the baby is hungry or has a wet diaper that needs to be change.
Consider enrolling in parenting classes in your area. Contact your baby's doctor, planned parenthood, the local hospital and ask if they know where you can get advise on how to take care of your child.
Just remember not to shake a child because their brains bob around in their heads and they die as a result.

Usually the baby will cry when they want to eat or needs to be changed but of course it is going to take some time for you to learn the different cries. Also keep in mind that they baby was in the mom's womb for nine months and now it is in the great big world. Try swaddling the baby in a blanket and gently rocking him. There are also products available that mimick a person heartbeat and they help make the baby feel comfortable. I used a teddy bear that sounded like my heartbeat for my last son. Finally, have patience. I promise it will get easier and if you feel overwhelmed it is ok to put the baby down.

Nobody likes to hear a baby cry, it's evolution, that's how the baby gets his needs met. It can be tough to deal with, when he's been fed and burped and changed and swaddled and played with and STILL is not happy. All parents go through this, just take some deep breaths and take a five minute time out if it gets too tough. Some people are more sensitive to sound than others, too, maybe you are.

If you leave more of the crying time to mom, be sure and pick up the slack elsewhere, tho (speaking as a mom, myself:) It will get better!

Answer 5

I feel for you, my daughter had collic and screamed a piercing screem that would drive me crazy. everyone told me get away just walk away, its hard to do. You get so darn agrevated.

As hard as it is, you need to stay calm and understand why your baby is crying. Are you a single dad? if not take turns with the mother trying to sooth the baby. If you are a single dad, your gonna have to give yourself a break and get away from the noice until you are calm enough to deal with the child. A neighbor family member anyone who can give you relief.

The last thing you want it to loose control.

I can tell you the high pitch noise does settle down and it won't be so anoying.

Answer 6

It sounds like you haven't bonded yet with your baby.

Become more involved in the care of it. Feed it, change it, rock it to sleep, talk to it. You have to lose your heart to your baby and once you do, it isn't noise, it's communication between you and the baby. The baby is telling you what it needs from you in the only way it can. You will learn to recognize what your baby needs from the noises it makes.
They won't seem like noises any longer to you. Trust me, it works that way. Just give it some time.

If your baby is crying a lot and comforting doesn't seem to help, ask the pediatrician for ways to deal with colic. It helped my baby to stand with him in my arms, his head resting against my shoulder, while I rocked gently back and forth and patted him on the back. I think the rocking soothed him. You might also trying bouncing lightly up and down on your heels. If the baby is gassy, this might help. Also lying him on your lap on his tummy and rubbing and patting his back.
I know how difficult a time this is, but it will soon pass and you will find out how great and how much fun babies really are.

Answer 7

at least your being honest!
i cant give advice as im a single mum.

but i can say this im on my own so i have to deal with everything and its hard my son is nearly 17months now it took me till he was about 6 months before i bonded properly with him and even now there are things that do my head in lol he screams and squeaks like a mouse when he wants to be picked up and he will head butt anything if he doesnt get his own way!!!
being a parent is hard but you have to find a way.

the best thing i think is spend more time with your baby and maybe you will adjust and if your baby is only a week old it will be crying for these reasons hungrey thirsty colic/wind wet tired and could be constpaited.
babys that young cry for a good reason.
my son was consitpaited at 3 weeks and i had to squeeze him down there to help get his stools out he was in pain.

Answer 8

Maybe you have a male form of postnal depression, some fathers feel like a child 'replaces' them in terms of love, but also the realisation that you have a life to look after is to much for some people to answer.

Don't listen when people tell you to grow up, if it were a woman saying this people would be telling her to go to the Dr's, maybe you should do the same.

Also explain to your partner how you are feeling, maybe she can help you bond with the child. Once you look at the child and see that it is a person rather than a bunch of noise you may feel easier when looking after the child.

In the mean time if you feel it to much to look after the child make sure you do other things to help around the house.

But don't fear getting help for this, men can get postnatal depression to, and make sure that you get support while trying to support your child.

Good luck, an i'm sure that at some point parneting will start to feel natural.

Answer 9

If you have tried to comfort it and it doesn't help, don't get frustrated, babies are very sensitive to emotions and will get even more ill. Leave the room or the place you live and take a 10 min walk. Let your partner know what is going on and tell her that you can't handle it. I am sure she is at her wits end too. But let her know that it is not that you are not wanting to help. But what ever you do, do not try to help and get frustrated, you will only wind up hurting the baby and that is not what anyone wants. And if that is the case, let your partner know this too, and she should understand.
Could be the formula, maybe colic, or even the diapers it is wearing.

Answer 10

A baby is helpless. They can do absolutely nothing for themselves except breathe. They are completely dependent on their caretakers for every aspect of their daily life. They also cannot communicate because they haven't developed language skills yet so they cry. This is just the way it is. sorry i can't be of more help, but if you absolutely cannot stand hearing it, then remove yourself from the situation, and let someone else take care of your baby. they deserve something you obviously cannot give them

Answer 11

first off see if the baby is dry, well and fed. if all three of these are done try a cuddle, skin to skin contact is also very soothing for the baby, if all else fails white noises work like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine, babies seem to be soothed by these sounds and should drift off to sleep. good luck and dont get too stressed!!! xxxx
