Question 3

can babies get sore throats from crying?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.: If you have ever attended an exciting football game and cheered vociferously for your team, the next morning (if not later that night!) you were probably hoarse and your throat was probably sore. Babies crying use the same basic equipment as your cheering. Obviously it requires rather forceful, red-faced crying (not just a whimper), usually with a waterfall of tears! resting the voice improves it.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Crying alot?: Babies cannot hurt themselves with too much crying.  They can become hoarse just as adult can by yelling or too much talking.  The more important question is why is the baby crying?  Excessive crying can be a sign of a physical or attachment  problem and should be discussed with your pediatrician.

Question 5

what to do when my 11mos.old babies turns blue when crying?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Many infants between 9 months and 3 years old will have breath holding spells where they turn "blue" and can faint from holding their breath. These spells occur in response to pain  or anger - always. Some kids will have some blueness around the lips (not the lips themselves) when crying and this can be normal. I would have my child seen to be sure it is a breath holding spell & nothing concerning.

inconsolable babies crying nonstop. do you have any tricks to stop this?
