I can handle the whole diaper changing thing. No big deal. And having to get up in the middle of the night hasn't really been a problem so far. Spitting up on me is annoying, but tolerable.
The part I can't stand is the crying. The screaming at the top of his lungs sort of crying.
It's just so irrational.
At this point, he's either tired, hungry, gassy or needs his diaper changed. That's it. So, logically, once they've all been addressed there shouldn't be any more crying.
Not the case. And that's what's so frustrating.
For now, I'm just trying to convince myself he's singing me a song. Very poorly. Over and over and over again.
ok- so this works AWESOME to know why Babies are crying. I swear by it. I saw it on Oprah- and for the first 3 months of Dominics life- i totally went by it and it worked. Its called the Dunstan baby language. You just have to know these 5 things....right them down, and listen to the cry.

try the vacuum cleaner. or dust buster. that worked for us. or any kind of white noise. that didn't work for us. but it was supposed to. also -- read "the best baby on the block". seriously. i read it way too late. but it's good. and i wish i had read it earlier.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am of the old school.... birthed my babies in the 70's.... you played soccer with my Scott.... and we just nursed and held them.... your generation should be able to google: crying baby.... even if none of the ideas work for you, you will get a good laugh... which will keep you from crying!
