Crying Baby, Sleepless Nights

Why Your Baby Is Crying and What You Can Do About It

Part Two

The inner logic goes something like this: "He's crying because he's uncomfortable." "He's sleeping because he needs rest." "He's asking me to carry him because it makes him feel better." "He wants to sleep next to me because he feels safer that way."

Try to get home on time. Things can crumble in those last few minutes that your partner is waiting.

Take the baby away from the house for an hour or two so Mom can nap or take a leisurely bath.

Talk to the baby and say nice things about her. Mom wants to know there is something lovable about her.

Lend a listening ear to your partner. Maybe you can't cure colic, but there is much relief in feeling understood.
