do infants eventually stop crying so much? if so, typically during which month?

Answer 1

This is one of those questions where the answer varies. It all depends on stuff like how happy the baby is kept, if he/she has any illnesses that makes them hurt, how fast they learn to coddle themselves, and a whole lot more. If you mean in general, then I'd say that most infants stop crying as much when they become mobile. They start to feel as if they can do anything when they can move on their own. I know that's what it seemed like with my son. Trust me, it's not the crying that'll get you. It's when they learn how to talk and haven't learned how and when to turn it off is the problem. But you'll love it all no matter what. I hope this helps.

Infants all go through stages where they cry a lot. Our first daughter would cry for 2-3 hours straight in the evenings due to some colic. So- it depends on whether the baby has colic. If the child does have colic, it usually goes away by 6 months at the latest. Our child's stopped after 3 months. There are some ways to help control colic- e.g. http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/Mosby_factsheets/infant_colic.html I know for me (as a dad) it was, at times. REALLY hard to deal with the screaming. I have two pieces of advice. 1) I read that baby's cannot let out ANY kind of stress that they might have except by crying. For example, adults can talk, think, run, eat... whatever. Infants can't. So- infants simply HAVE to cry a certain amount each day. So my first suggestion is to just try and remember that as the baby cries, he is getting in his or her daily allowance and will eventually be done. 2) I-Pod. Putting music in your ears is nice because you can still hear the baby crying, but not as badly... and the music helped me. :) My wife thinks it's ignoring the baby to listen to music... but I think it's better than going crazy. The baby doesn't know if you are listening to music. ;)

Three to four months when they start to do more then just sit there. Playing with them now will help. Also setting a routine. I know it is verry hard. My daughters never stopped till about 3 to 4 months. I was exhausted by then. The more of a routine you set the easier it will be to calm them. Also a swing or bouncy seat will help. Make sure no allergies are present. Like to formula.

Answer 4

At this age, crying is their only form of communication. Their needs are simple - wet/poopy, tired, hungry or in pain. As they become more aware of the world, they cry less. Check out www.opmom.com. It's a great source of information for parenting and the members are very supportive.

Answer 7

They only cry when they need something, like food. My daughter rarely cried as a baby, only when she was hungry.

Answer 8

12 months mine did but when she wants something she will CRY !!

Answer 9

Babies don't talk, so they cry (smile, gurgle, etc.).
So, if they cry a lot, there is something wrong. If you can't figure it out, see a pediatrician.
