What to do if you baby keeps crying: 4 reasons why infants cry a lot from Parent and Baby Coach Heidi Skudder
October 17, 2022 - 11:53 BST Sophie Hamilton 'Babies cry, that’s just how it works' is a phrase I hear so often from clients who are often struggling with long bouts of unsettled behaviour from their tiny weeks or month-old baby.Not only that, but this has often been said to parents by medical professionals when they have visited them with concerns that their baby cries a lot, with the parents' gut instinct being that something isn't quite right.
For a six-week-old, that window would be an hour. This means that if baby is awake for two hours plus, being passed around to visitors and not having had a decent nap, they will cry! And often a lot! Whilst some babies are calm and content, others can really struggle with the adjustment to the outside world.
Colostrum in those early days post-birth can really help with this. However, not all babies are exposed to this, not to mention those who are given antibiotics at birth, or that receive them via Mum in labour. In order to rule out baby’s air intake being an issue, baby should be checked over by a tongue tie practitioner, who can assess the latch and tongue for function. Tongue ties are often missed by midwives, health visitors and doctors, so ensure to visit the right specialist, qualified in tongue tie assessment to be able to help.
