screaming baby - help!!

[chokky]

Just what do you do when baby won't stop crying!! Checked nothing wrong with her, calms down (very slightly) if held but can't hold her all day. is it ok for me to leave her to cry for 20 minutes or so? Makes me feel guilty if i do

how old is she?
both my babies used to get so tired and overstimulated sometimes that it would taek 5-10 mins before thy would go for a nap- i felt so grim when i could hear them cryiing at nap times, but it worked.

it depends how old she is- i started to let mine cry a bit at around 5-6 months or so

will pushachiar help or even a sling, so u can do some stuff whilst she is still close to you?

you have my sympathies

just over a month old

just over a month old

well, no i wouldn't leave her crying then, she still needs some warmth and closeness, she still doesn't know where she is really!

there's lots of resons that she may be screaming, hungry, tired, refulx, coliky

when does she do it most?
does she stop when she gets cuddled?
have you tried her in a sling?

it is so hard, i know

Does she do this every day or just today?

I've had a lot of success with a sling www.betterbabysling.co.uk the closeness really seems to help, plus you can get on with things and feed at the same time if you need to.
