Are you breastfeeding? If not, contact LLL and get to breastfeeding. Also get a sling and wear her. Crying it out in any baby is horrible, but ESPECIALLY a newborn!

That is child abuse!! She could be colicky. If she is there is nothing you can do but hold her and try and make her comfortable. DO NOT MAKE HER CRY. They only thing you will accomplish is making that poor baby feel like you don't love her and that she cannot count on you. DO NOT MAKE YOU TINY BABY CIO!! That is child abuse!! She could be colicky.

If you're always there for your kids when they need you, then they'll build the confidence to make it on their own.

I have a 9 week old daughter and whenever she would cry like that it meant that she needed to burp. Try putting her on her belly on your lap and bounce your knees and pat her back. good luck. Hi.

If it is at the same time most days for at least 3 hours it is generally colic. She's only 1 week old you should really take her to a doctor and make sure nothing is wrong.

Cephalic Wed, 27 Jan 2010 02:48:08 +0000 http://thepregnantnews.com/emotions/cry-it-out#comment-164 I believe that letting a baby cry it out only teaches them that no one is there when they need something. Just keep trying to soothe her, if she's dry, full, she will calm down when ready. Babies do need to cry a certain amount of time every day to exercise the lungs (they really do) and apparently yours picks night time to do it. She will adjust eventually. Just don't abandon her to let her cry and cry...... I don;'t think they develop trust in adults that way I believe that letting a baby cry it out only teaches them that no one is there when they need something.

Trust your instincts, you can't bear to hear her cry for a reason. She is crying because she has a need and that is the only way she has to express herself. She doesn't have the ability to understand cry it out. It really isn't something that needs to be used on a baby of any age. Positive independent sleep habits can be formed without using this method, but for now, just do your best and you will figure it out. Congratulations on your new baby girl!

is it possible she’s colicy? try nestle goodstart formula if you aren’t breastfeeding – it is MUCH gentler on the tummy. if you ARE breastfeeding, consider eliminating the gassier food from your diet (green peppers, beans, etc). strawberries and tomatoes can also cause colic.

also, talk to her ped.
