Answer 1

You'll probably just have to hold her until she falls asleep. It might help to create some white noise by running a fan or some nature sounds (if you have any on CD). Maybe try going into the bathroom & running the shower on hot, and let the bathroom steam up. It'll be nice & warm and the water drowns out all of the random noise.

Answer 2

Hard luck! Some babies do cry a lot - my first was a happy little soul, but the second cried and cried and cried! We tried everything, and he did improve a bit when he went onto some solid food at six weeks. Here's a few more ideas to try - apologies if you've heard them all before. Put her in a baby chair placed where she can see you; put her outside in a pram (where you can see her, of course) so she can watch things going on; carry her round with you in a baby sling; wheel her round with you in her baby buggy as you work in the house and garden. If you yearn for a few minutes of peace enlist the help of a good friend, neighbour or relative to take her for a nice long walk! Good luck!

Yes, it is normal. My little one is 5 months and she does absolutely the same. The only thing is that I try to pick her less and she slowly gets used to it. U need to break her boredom. She gets tired of getting bored, if u see what I mean. Try and change her place every time she gets bored in one place, let her watch the sky next to a window or a conservatory, put a radio with some clasical music or TVbut try to keep her as far from it and also that she can not see it, but radio I suggest is best as TV is not reccommended for babies and kids under2. Put her on the belly and some soft toys around, put her in a swing, take her out for a walk and so on. But be sure you are around at all times so she can see ( feel) you around and you can also this way keep an eye on the little angel. I feel so strong for the little ones (yes sometimes it gets too much) but all they want is mummy, daddy or someone that she knows and feels safe with. She wants attention, of course - she is a LADY to become! hey don't we all like attention , ladies?? come on give her what she wants - its her only chance for now but also yours to feel needed and special!!! U r special to her and she is everything to u. Forgive her for being clingy- this will change. Try to pick her up less and less, ( do not let anybody do it without your cosent) distract her with different things, or if she is really upset, you may pick her up just for reassurance and put her back straight when she settled - talk to her at all times, sing - dont worry if your voice isnt the best soprano. she will love it just the way it is.
Also she can be left criyng until gets serios cry - many times she just has an attention seeking cry . Do not lift her immediately as she will get used to it and manipulate u - yes manipulate at this age- very much so! they do know what they are up to . ;-) lol
I also have a 2 yr old boy and he was nothing like her. Sometimes in the beginning I would forget 4 a sec that he was there! He would stay hours and hours with no troble. I could do my cooking which I am passionate for , I could do ironing, cleaning and so on, but he knew I am there . But the second one - a little sweet catastrophe.!! Bundles of total joy they are, aren't they?
GOOD LUCK .
p.s- dont forget about the gas and the colics which are killers!

p.s they say that girls always give trouble in the beginning but they will fully compensate later.

Put her back down make sure she is safe place a baby gym over her, put some music on and let her get on with it sorry but she has got used to you picking her up every time she crys.
It is hard but let her cry as long as she is safe, warm fed, clean and not in any pain then a cry will not hurt her who is boss you or her is the question?
My last daughter was like this she is now very intelligent Unni student she was just a very alert and active baby who needed constant in put but in end just let her get on with it did not want her thinking click fingers and mommy comes.

Answer 5

She is not really spoiled, she is actually attached to your heartbeat. When you pick infants up they have a tendency to actually synchronize their heart rate with yours. If you put them down, they feel the change and begin to cry. It is like they are actually a part of you and don't want to be removed, this is why babies often cry when they are handed to someone else after being held for awhile. Women are even easier to sync with, because the child can actually feel a sort of maternal vibe from them.

Give her something to hold and slowly bounce her on your shoulder to separate her heart rate from yours.

Answer 6

You don't mention her age. If she is still at the swaddling stage, wrap her real tightly. It helps them feel secure. I also heard a doctor (forget his name) recommend getting right up in the babies ear and just keep saying "shhhhhh". Sometimes you have to do it loudly so she can actually hear. This is not the same as telling the baby to shut up! It is just a soothing noise for them. It is supposed to be like the noises they hear in the womb. I did it with my daughter and it worked like a charm. You should also "rock" her slowly back and forth in your arms. Good Luck!

Answer 7

How old is she? Especially in the first three months babies crave attention and touch. You almost have to pick them up constantly at that age. The baby bjorn idea is a good one. She wants to be close to you...try to make that happen. If you don't have a swing, get one. For most babies they work like magic.

they are very good and will help you.

If your baby wants attention then pick her up! Cuddle her to sleep if thats what she needs, she is only a baby and needs closeness. You cannot spoil a young baby!

Answer 9

She might need someone to hold her for just alittle while. Don't put her on the ground. That's not the place for a baby. She could have a tummy ache. Rub her tummy until she quiets. It probably won't take long.

Answer 10

Walk around with her. My son did the same when he was a tiny thing. I had a Bjorn baby carrier and put him in that while I did house work.
