Question 1

how can i get my infant to stop crying whenever i put him down?

Accepted Answer

Leave the room: This is one step in the sleep technique developed by dr. Ferber.  You can train your baby to "self-soothe" by leaving and and progressively waiting longer between comforting your baby at bedtime.  You can start with 3 minutes and progress to 5, 7 and so on until your baby falls asleep. When returning, don't pick up your baby, just console him/her. It seems hard and even cruel, but it works.

Question 2

my 4 month old baby gets histerical once i put his infant carrier in the car. he won't stop crying turning blue and shaking. what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

Keep him safe in car: At four months he is too young for a real temper tantrum. While he may get agitated by the car seat's restrictive environment, his safety in the car is paramount for him to be transported in any other way in the car. You may want to have someone else sit beside him not to make him so lonely.

Question 3

my 29weeker prem baby is on similac total comfort for 2 weeks now. she is 9weeks old. she has vomited 2 today and crying non stop when shes put down.

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Spitting and crying are both common symptoms in infants, but if your infant's behavior is unusual for her, it is important that she be examined.  This is especially true for a premie, who is more susceptible to infection.

Question 4

how do you stop crying?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you have something to cry about, time will help. If you are crying for no reason, it strongly suggests that your emotional mechanisms are overactive. Strangely enough, this can be caused by poor diet--too much junk. This is because your "cellular engines" are "choked" just like a car with a high gas/oxygen ratio and inadequate ignition.Stop sugar intake.

Question 5

how can i get my baby to stop crying

Accepted Answer

Address the cause: Few things are more distressing than a baby that won't stop crying.Babies cry for a reason so the key is to figure out the cause, which could be a wet diaper, hunger, teething, colic, fear etc.Once you find and address the cause the baby will calm down. The tricky part is your baby can't use words so you have to play detective. See https://tinyurl.com/yxcyhlsz and

Question 6

can you tell me how to stop crying so much?

Accepted Answer

Seelk help!: People cry in response to pain or emotional states.   To stop crying you have to understand what make you cry and deal with it.  If you cannot do it on your own or with the help of someone, you might need to seek professional help, a therapist or a counselor. Some people benefit from support groups.

Question 7

is it normal that my baby doesn't stop crying?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unfortunately, up to 4 hours in a row is expected for a colicky baby.  Colics are less common in breast fed babies (forgot to add that to the "advantages of breast feeding" answer!), and the only thing i found that works consistently is a car ride (with the baby, not away from her!).

Question 8

how do you get a baby to stop crying at night?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: A baby can cry at night for a number of reasons. Depending on the age, and assuming they are not wet or hungrey, it could be their sleeping condtions , hot, cold or anxiety. Children at a young age can not vocalize their problems so they cry. If you determine nothing is wrong then allowing a baby to cry for a while is fine. Sometimes the child has programed you to pick them up even though nothing.

Question 9

baby will not stop crying at night what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Think about it: Is your baby hungry, thirsty, in pain. Needing to poop or pee? Is your baby sick?
If all these are normal you may need to let your baby learn how to fall asleep.  There are different methods used to accomplish this.
Ferber method is one. You may conider looking at www.Healthychildren.Org for more advice.

Question 10

what to do if i cannot stop crying over my dog's death?

Accepted Answer

No 'normal': Grieving is a process and is different for each person.  So there is no 'normal' time for grief to end.  If the crying spells are severe and interfering with your daily life then you may need to see a counselor or physician to discuss depression or anxiety.  Find a way to honor the memory of your dog - the project itself can be therapeutic for you as you grieve.
