 both of these are true. as long as your baby basic needs are met and you have held him, it is ok to let him cry a little. meaning when he begins to cry you can give it a minute before you rush in. then, when you have fixed whatever problem he had(hungry/dirty diaper etc) you can put him back in the swing/bouncy whatever. and hes ok if he crys a little, because you know he is safe and not hungry and he wants to be held. Unfortunately they do get spoiled and want to be held all the time. The mother in us wants to hold our baby all the time and loves that he wants/needs us, but the adult in us knows that we cannot always and you have to find a happy medium. it is good for their lungs, and they do need to relieve stress, so let him go a little sometimes. He can still count on you being there, but can also learn patience by not knowing for sure how long until you get there, and independance by being put down again after his needs are met.

 Hi Cristabelle, I am a mother of a three month old. My daughter used to cry every night from 12 30 till 2 00 pm. this is very common amonth many kids and there is nothing to worry about. you can give her simple gripe water a few minutes before she starts getting uncomfortable and crying but believe me its just a phase and once is two months old she will sleep very calmly. dont give her too many medicines as it will upset her tummy even more.

 My 01 month 13 day baby had passed a greenish whitish stool. On speaking to the doctor, she prescribed econorm half sachet twice a day for 03 days. I gave it to baby and for the first 02 days she was fine. The 03 day again in the night, she started crying bitterly. I nursed her first and tried to put her to sleep, but in vain. I later gave her 03 drops of Colimex and put her to sleep. On checking with the doctor the next day, she asked me to give her 2.5 ml of Wallamycin 03 times a day for 05 days. This also was given to her, however again in the night she started crying bitterly. I gave her Neopeptine, thinking that it would give her some releif and massaged her stomach. But that did not help. I again gave her 02 drops of Colimex and nursed her. This calmed her a little and she fell asleep. Please advice what should I do to stop my baby from crying. I do not want to give her Colimex drops as it is very strong.
