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

My mantra was diaper, eat, sleep, repeat.
If one doesn't work try the other regardless of time frame.
The pattern is there is no pattern at that age. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to find one as they are growing so fast.
Hope this helps.

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

She’s asleep now. Just needed to top off the tank with a little bottle. Thanks for the help guys
Just saw your last post after I posted. didn't know she was on a bottle. That's no biggie, def top off before bed and maybe look into her feeding pattern. She may be wanting more throughout the day/night.
My 7 month old is waking up as I type lol

Babies can bond with their parents pretty quickly. Especially with the mother.

They go through growth spurts also .. iirc (our baby is 19) it happens around 2/3 weeks and again at 6. Can’t remember the next one but it could be that.
Ours cried when they were hungry or wet. Later when they were overly tired but at the point I made sure everything else was good and then let them cry. When I got to the room to check on our son once, he pointed to his pacifier that he threw out of his bed and laughed. Yeah no. I let him cry it out but he was a little more than one and nothing wrong with him.

You’re doing fine man. There is no magic formula. As shitty as the next few weeks/months are gonna seem you’ll never forget some of those nights holding her.

Mom is home with her all day and can get worn out. I try to help out at night when I can. We’re going to be aware of her sleeping on us from now on but luckily with ours her kryptonite is just more bottle. Guess we’re lucky in that regard.

You are pretty much stuck on the “every 2 hours” schedule for now.
Around 2 months, things can start spreading out some.
Before you know it, she will sleep through the night.

Luckily my 3 kids slept thru the night early on. Very fortunate for that. Then had/have to deal with them coming in and hogging the bed every so often.

Winning formula.

When they’re that young they’re crying to communicate something. Hungry, dirty diaper, tired are the main culprits, but then there’s this second tier of possibilities where it gets tricky. Things like gas, upset stomach, over stimulated, or my personal favorite.... an ear infection. You’ll know when they start trying to manipulate you though. That’s when you get to decide whether or not you’re too tired to outlast their will for whatever it is they want. In the mean time, we had one of those automatic swings that worked well for ours.

Some new parents think cry it out means letting them cry for like 7 minutes
Posted on 3/9/20 at 11:23 pm to Sun God
yeah I lasted like 5 minutes and had to physically restrain the wife then got her a bottle I don’t think she’ll be on the pole because of this episode alone

Hint: grab baby's feet, fold them in half (gently baw) where the knees go toward their chest/shoulders. Boom instant fart release.

Every baby is different. It’ll get easier. Then it’ll get harder

Had one that about a year old decided the only thing that would put them to sleep was riding in the car.
You wouldn't believe how many 15 mile rides we took at 2 AM.

Wait till she grows up. Wife and I already assume my daughter (5) will be a hairdresser/stripper (joke)
That girl keeps us busy. My oldest, son (9), is about to learn what a choke slam is.

God bless you, man.
I’m just getting through the hell of baby 1 and baby 2 is on the way.
TRY to soak it up and enjoy the time with your baby. They’re frustrating and the sleep deprivation is catastrophic, but these early years when YOU are everything your child needs are so precious.
Eyes half open, cranky AF, 4 AM...I’m miserable, but I know that I will cherish these moments when they’re all grown up. Try to keep that perspective and know that these truly brutal, sleep scarce times only last for a year max. Hopefully.
And sorry....for advice...6 weeks is too early for cry it out. My boy and I hit the couch. He slept on my chest.
