Why do infants cry when?

Question

Why do infants cry everytime you finally get a moment to make yourself something to eat? Can they sense it? Do they get jealous of your food intake? I swear, at this rate, I'm gonna starve.

Answer 1

hold the baby in one arm, eat with the other...i had to do this with my nephew...it was the only way i could eat...lol...good luck...dont starve...

Answer 2

BREATH MOM!!! They are just babies. Wait till they are old enough to get there own and still whine for you to get them something.  

Answer 3

LOL, this is just their way of getting you used to the fact that for the rest of your life, THEIR needs come first. I feel your pain. You might want to get used to pre-packaged foods that you can eat while feeding her/him.

Answer 4

eventually you will adapt and learn how to multitask.....i have no children of my own but i have been an aunt since i was 5 and i can eat, go to the bathroom, sweep the floor........ect while holdin an infant haha. it just takes getting used to!

Answer 5

I always thought that maybe the smells woke them up. But your right, both of my boys had a special 'mommys eating' siren that went off whenever i got near the kitchen.  What's hilarious is that they would always wait until i had just sat down at the table, and right before i got that first bite.  It was sooo frustrating.  The best thing to do is put them in a swing in the other room. it worked for us, they would sleep through dinner and i could get something to eat.  Also i learned to eat one handed while nursing.  This could get embarrassing in public, but hey, do what you gotta do.. lol

Answer 6

thats when you learn to eat one handed or have cold food :) it gets much much better.  

Answer 7

I know exactly what you mean I have to believe they have a radar or sensor thing going on. frustrating hey!!

Answer 8

I feel for ya!

I got a 10 month old daughter, she did it all the time too but it gets better as they get older.

Hang in there, eat and rest whenever possible, housework can wait but you need to look after yourself so you can look after your baby.

Answer 9

earplugs

Answer 10

My husband believes they sense it and immediately cry... on purpose... to get the food!

I think it more has to do with the fact that they are meant to eat with you eventually, so they get tuned to your rhythms and want to be awake and with you while you eat.  You learn to eat with a little one right there, believe me.  

Answer 11

is she hungry? , need changing? , or hot/ cold? well if not none of the above or sick she will be ok to cry for a min while u eat actually its good for her to cry if she is congested it will loosen it up
