Why is The Baby Crying?
The Good
When you come home from the hospital with your new baby, you are still in a daze. When do I feed the baby, when was the last time anyone changed the baby and why is this baby crying?
The Bad
Sometimes babies are just, well, fussy. I am going to tell some new moms something you do not want to hear: sometimes they are fussy for no reason. I know! Why?
The Ugly
I once read that babies cry or fuss because it is their exercise. It is the only way they have to relieve their tension or little baby stress. I think that is a good explanation, but we will never really know.
You can try many things to get your baby to stop crying, some of them may work once or twice and never again, some may work for awhile before they peeter out. Nothing is forever in baby land.
So, Erinn What Can I Do? Help!
Have no fear, there are many different things to try. Swaddling, rocking in the stroller, white noise like a fan in the baby’s room and deep knee bends while holding the baby, are my personal favorites. If you tried those and you need more ideas, American Baby has 23 ideas to calm a fussy baby. Something will work for your child. I promise.
If I am wrong you can drop your baby off here with me, I will have my husband take care of the baby for you.

For our daughter, these are some things that helped calm her as a new born:
1)Swaddling
2)Being worn in the sling
3)Listening to music
4)Being tucked into her bouncy chair; rechargable batteries are a must! For about two months, she had her chair on vibrate almost 24×7.

HAHA this was hilarious. My daughter used to just be happy when we held her lucky for us she didn’t have colic or anything like that. I did hear about babies sometimes crying because they have all this unused energy to get out and I am thankful my daughter never did that! That would be tough!
