This is probably a common problem but i need help. I absolutely can't stand my baby's cry. I love him and practise attachment parenting etc and will always go and soothe him when he cries but he will still cry on occasion uncontrollably. He's 4 months old. My 1st baby was never close to this bad. The cry just rings in my head, makes me instantly angry and panic and i want to scream. It's just too much and happens so fast. Please help me with coping mechanisms. Mum groups with non autistic wont help me. I feel this is the only place left i can ask. I need to be calm for my toddler too. Thank you

Learn more about our guidelines.@Sara are there any you could recommend? I used to occasionally wear the ear defenders for my 1st but you know babies, they headbutt everything so i stopped. It would need to be earphones that are safe from headbutts but i don't know which would be good enough to take the edge off whilst also being able to hear him. I would only wear if he's inconsolable and i need to keep calm

I am due in august and this is my biggest fear too. I use the loop earplugs, the ones for concerts. I use them all the time in school where I work and at the cinema, gigs, street, etc, so I know I will be using them with my baby. There is no shame. It doesn’t mean we ignore them, it makes us better parents if we’re not having a meltdown every time they cry. Good luck ♥️♥️♥️♥️
