re: How to put a screaming baby to bed?

Quoting Teagan's Mommy:“ It works for us! Stock up on rechargeable batteries though!”

What kind of batteries does it take you need a screwdriver too?

Quoting Jessicaox.:“ if it works why not?”

Because infants under 6 months old should never be left to cry it out. Research.

There is a difference between comforting a crying baby until they fall asleep and leaving a small child alone screaming until they pass out.

Quoting Teagan's Mommy:“ At 5 weeks? no way!”

I agree. Five weeks is way too little for CIO.

She's not screaming herself to sleep.
It's light crying basically wining.
and nothing else works, my doctor said it was fine.

Quoting HippieBabie:“ yeah I read that they like the walking... maybe he is just bored and I need to walk him more.”

yeah it is tiring and a big workout but usually works

Quoting Kyrie ♥'s Monkey{JA:“ You can pick up Lavender bath soap and lotion at Walmart. It helps soothe them to sleep.”

That Johnson's and Johnson's stuff? Yeah... that has carcinogins in it.

causes cancer wth?

hold onto him tight and rock him. when Kyle is screaming, thats what i do and he's out within 5 minutes. that or pat his butt hard. the light stuff never worked on my kids

Quoting glowinthedark:“ That Johnson's and Johnson's stuff? Yeah... that has carcinogins in it.”

There are tons of brands with lavender in it.
Johnsons, Huggies, the various organic brands, etc....

Quoting Jessicaox.:“ if it works why not?”

it can be mentally damaging.
at 5 weeks, theyre still used to the warmth and tight comfort of their mothers. if theyre crying so much that young, and theyre not tired, hungry, wet, etc. then theyre just not comfortable and need to cuddled.

OP, this si what i would always do when my girl was having rough times. i would bicycle her legs, warm bath, clean jammies, swaddle her, bottle[or breast] if she was hungry, and walk around the house humming in her ear.
but i would definitely swaddle him!!! works like a charm.

like I said my doctor said it was fine.
Nothing else works for her.

Quoting HippieBabie:“ causes cancer wth?”

Right?! I just read that this morning on a list of companies that test on animals.

Dr. Bronner's makes a organic fair trade lavender scented soap, but I just stick with unscented baby on Pearly right now.

J & J too??!?!
wtf!
i bet you have some that doesnt have nasty shit in it, huh??!?!!!
 
what you usin, girl.....?!

A warm bath or taking a warm bath with mommy.
A bouncer.
Mommy holding baby while bouncing on a balance/yoga ball.

5 weeks is way to young to allow her to cry.
Try to avoid that situation by providing an environment for her to sleep every 2 hours. If people want to visit her while awake, tough crap on them

Most, if not all, baby things that have batteries require a screwdriver so that the batteries dont pop out and become a choking hazzard. Pain in the butt but it makes sense.

Quoting Jessicaox.:“ like I said my doctor said it was fine. Nothing else works for her.”

oh im not doggin ya hunny. some people dont know that it can be damaging.
if you want to let her whine then go for it, lol its your baby.
how old is your girl?
