Why You Should Watch
Just soothing babies when they cry - even when neither of you know what's wrong - helps them develop trust in you and the larger world. Get an infant's perspective on why newborns cry, what they need (hint: you) and why staying calm will help you and your baby. You'll also pick up easy parenting tips that will help reassure you and your child that crying is normal newborn behavior as your baby adjusts to the big, wide world they've been thrust into.
What you'll see from a baby's eye view:
- Why newborn babies startle and get panicked easily
- How crying is actually a physical pain for newborns
- Why your baby needs you to help make sense of their feelings
What you'll discover:
- Various methods for soothing and stopping a baby from crying
- Why it's important to keep calm when your baby's upset
- Why babies seem to cry more at night than in the daytime
The more understanding you have of why newborns cry, the better equipped you'll be to handle their emotions, and your own.

cries and cries
Our 2 mo. old, cries and cries every night - kicking his arms and legs wildly. We've tried everything we can think of to comfort him. Rocking, walking, swaddling, massaging, singing lullabies. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes - sometimes 2 hours. It is definitely trying, but we know that we won't give up trying to comfort him, because he's learning to trust that we'll be here for him. We have to keep this mind, when we're at our wits end!
