At delivery, your baby's powerful wails are a welcome sign that you've given birth to a healthy child. However, if after the first week or two, your infant continues to scream, his crying may become the last thing that you want to hear! But, we should be grateful for our baby's crying - it's one of their most wonderful abilities.
During the first few months of life, your baby will have no problem getting by without the foggiest idea of how to smile or talk, but he would be in terrible danger if he couldn't call out to you. Getting your attention is so important that your newborn can cry from the minute his head popped out of you. This great ability is called the "crying" reflex.
The Crying Reflex - Nature's brilliant solution for getting a cavewoman's attention!
My guess is that millions of years ago, a Stone Age baby accidentally was born with a perfect way of getting his mother to come to him - screaming. Even if he yelped just because he had the hiccups or had scared himself, his mom appeared in seconds.
We may never know exactly when or how ancient human babies learned to cry, yet it's clear that the cave babies, who survived and passed their genes on to us, were those who could "raise a ruckus".
Your baby's shrill cry is powerful enough to yank you out of bed or hoist you off the toilet with your pants down. (Not bad for a ten-pound weakling!) However, it is a mistake to think your baby is crying because he's trying to call you for help. During the first few months, trying to get your attention is the furthest thing from your crying baby's mind. In fact, the amazing truth is your baby has absolutely no idea he's even sending you a message.
When you hear your two-week-old scream, you're not getting a communication from him; rather you're accidentally eavesdropping on his conversation¡with himself.
His cries are like agitated complaints he's muttering to himself, "Gosh, I'm hungry." or "Boy, I'm cold." Since you're right next to him, you hear his grumbles and want to lovingly respond, "What's the matter sweetheart? You sound upset."
"The sound of a crying baby is just about the most disturbing, demanding, shattering noise we can hear. In the baby's crying there is no future or past only now. There is no appeasement, no negotiations possible, no reasonableness." - Sheila Kitzinger, The Crying Baby
All babies have short periods of crying that usually last for a few minutes, totaling about a half hour a day. These babies settle quickly once fed, picked up or carried. However, once colicky babies start their frantic screaming, they can yell, on and off, for hours.
But now, with this DVD, you will know the techniques in soothing and calming them! |
