This baby won't stop crying? ?

Question

I don't know what to do. She's been crying so much I think she's going to puke. She has to be out of air. She's in a baby car seat thing and there are no lights

Answer 1

If she is only six weeks old and is crying like that, then pick her up and hold her.

She's trying to let you know she needs something--food, clean diaper, or comfort.

Answer 2

How old is she?

Have you walked around with her?

She isn't "allowed" out of the crib?  Why?  Is she in the NICU or something or are you just refusing to pick her up?

If you are just refusing to pick her up then what do you expect her to do?  Sheesh.

Pick her up!

Answer 3

why is she in that?.... maybe because she uncomfortable.. maybe she wants to stretch.. maybe her head hurts... maybe her body is just tired of sitting like that.. wouldnt you be if you were sitting in a carseat with no light for 2 hrs?... take a break and let her stretch...

Answer 4

You have time to log on the net and not time to pick her up? Pick her up!

Answer 5

Well, then maybe you should first of all pick her up ! check her diaper or maybe she needs a bottle. if not calm yourself down because they feel if your stressing out then rock her and hum or sing a lullaby. That usually should work or ya maybe she needs to be burped.  

Answer 6

pick her up and soothe her..if that does work..feed her...she may have gas try burping her, giving her gas drops, pressing on her belly, or a warm bath. all you can do is be patient, take small breaks, and try to help her..youll find out what she likes or needs..dont worry hun

Answer 7

Why have you been letting her cry for 2 hours at 6 weeks old? Just cuddle her - she will probably stop crying!!!

Answer 8

Why isnt she allowed out of the crib? If you cant pick her up and soothe her or change her, then go to the ER? Call your pediatrician...do something.

Answer 9

I'm not sure why you can't get her out of her crib, the first thing I would have done is comforted her, she is probably hungry by now!

You could try the method I used, I have heard it called the 5-S method, as you:

Swaddle the baby - wrap up snugly in a blanket, tucking the arms in

Swing the baby - stand up and swing baby side to side

Side - hold baby on her side

Shh...Shh...Shh... - make the sound of a heart-beat

Suck - give baby a soother or allow him to suck her thumb

The theory is that human babies are born early in gestation compared to other mammals, so if we consider the first few months of life as a "fourth trimester" and try to replicate conditions in the womb, the baby feels safe, calm and secure, and will sleep better and fall asleep more easily.

I read this in a book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and this is where I first read this.

My daughter also used a "noise-maker" for her little girl - it made noises such as "water-fall", "rain-storm", "heart-beat", "tropical rain-forest" - they were really wonderful and calming for my grand-daughter.

Good Luck - it worked for me!

Answer 10

Definitely pick her up. Play some nice soothing music...sing along. If it's day time try and take her outside for some fresh air. If that does nothing for her then check her diaper and clothes. Make sure nothing is poking her.

She could have colic or maybe she's uncomfortable.

Answer 11

Take her out and try putting her on your chest rubbing her back for a little bit. She might have a stomach ache. My daughter had a lot of gas problems when she was little and that was the only way to calm her down. Check her diaper since it has been 2hrs. and see if she is hungry. Most likely she is just tired and is fighting sleep. The warmth from your body and listening to your heart beat might help calm her down, and if she has an upset stomach the laying down will help the bubbles in her belly escape.

Answer 12

She needs to be held.  Even if she doesn't stop crying when she's held, at that age, she desperately needs the closeness.  It will help her feel comforted.  I would swaddle her up, if you know how, pace the room while holding her and try to feed her or work out the gas if she just ate recently.

**Edit:  If the parents strap her into the carseat and don't let her out, they need some serious help.  Turn on the lights.  Get that child out and take care of her.  IGNORE the rule about leaving her there.  That is abusive and cruel.

Answer 13

Take her out right now ~ she may be caught up in something, she may be wet, whatever, but I don't think that the parents would be upset if you took her out due to that much crying

See what is wrong w/ her and then put her back in it.
