Can a six week old baby cry because it wants to be held by you?

With the right attitude, that baby can do anything it wants to.

Can you get back in the delorian and go find a better contraceptive?

Do not do the cry it out method with a 6 week old

You just have to deal with the uneasiness, IMO. Try and develop a schedule and stick to it. Even if the baby doesn’t stick to it right away.



We have a swaddle night outfit (looks similar to the one above) that goes on top of our daughters pajamas to sleep. This shite is a life saver

Does the baby get enough formula ? They usually take a little more at two months. Usually 4 oz at that age I think. Every 4 hours. Check with your doctor on amount. Also make sure baby isn’t cold. She might want your warmth. There’s no magic answer other than nurture the baby Yout all she’s got It’s not about you anymore. Good luck

Swaddle that little nugget tight. Put some white noise on and say some prayers. The first 3-4 months is the steepest learning curve you may ever endure.

6 weeks is way too early for CIO. As someone previously stated, routine and schedule can change your life. Although it’s hard and requires sacrifice.

When mine was that young, it was either because she wants dirty, needed a tighter or swaddle, or wasn't getting enough food. Every time we checked through those 3 options, she would get us at least 3-4 hours. Found out we needed to suppliment formula until my wife could catch up.

IMO, crying it out doesn't work for the first 3-4 months. They just learn to get louder quicker

Sure.

And if so, how do we get her to sleep in her bed and not in our arms?

The $1 billion question.

If you can figure that out, tell Scruffy.

And if we let her cry it out does that mean she’ll end up on the pole later?

6 weeks is a little young for the “cry it out” method.

She won’t really tire out due to crying at that age. She will just keep going.

Some people swear by driving around the block. Others swear by certain sleep apparatuses.

Scruffy’s sister loved the Snu. It has a baby straight jacket and rocks.

It's a baby. Change diapers, feed, and hold it. It's going to cry. I wouldnt let a 6 week old lay there and cry.

Unfortunately, this is where the mom pulls lots of work, just try and help her out so she isnt frustrated.

She’s asleep now. Just needed to top off the tank with a little half ounce or so. Thanks for the help guys

The solution is simple. You pick her up and hold her anytime she wants.
