This might be a stupid question but what do you actually do when your baby is crying during the night?!
I am clueless! My baby is 7 months old, nearly 8.
I'm asking because we went through a stage of teething (around a week of sleepless nights and lots of crying during the night - mainly by my child but I felt like crying too!!)
I tried everything... Stories, sitting in quiet room, cuddles, walking around a dark room, milk, singing lullabies etc. Nothing worked and one night we had 4 hours solid of a grumpy baby that cried whenevr they were put in the cot. Every. Single. Time.
But if I know it's not teething, or hunger, illness etc, then what do you do to calm your baby? I can't bear to hear him cry and I actually felt nervous before he went to bed in case he cried again during the night. Because I feel like I don't know how to comfort him without picking him up for a cuddle.
Perhaps it is a confidence thing..
