Coping with Constant Crying

Crying is just a part of life once your little one comes home — but there are ways to help calm your baby down.

All babies cry. When your baby is wailing, you may feel as if you're doing something wrong or that there has to be something you can do to stop the crying — but that's usually not the case!

Babies have immature nervous systems, so they actually don't know any other way to wind down. High-strung babies in exciting, intense households tend to cry more, but all infants go through periods of fussiness.

Colicky, fussy babies like to be rocked, patted, danced, or walked. So go ahead and try any or all of these techniques when your baby is crying. Don't despair if nothing works right away, though — it's not your fault! Since it can be so hard to soothe a colicky baby, a constantly crying baby can make parents feel anxious and inadequate.

If you start getting frustrated or angry or feel as if you're losing control, put your baby down, take a quick break, and regain your own composure. Just remember — if nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong: Your baby is just fussy!
