How long is it ok to let babies cry?

If baby is not hungry, his diaper is clean and dry, he looks comfortable on his back just laying down. Sure I know he could be fussy but have been giving gripe water and of course burping. He just does not want to be put down and if he does he won’t chill for longer than 15 or so. Aahhh 😅

I would say no length of time unless you have to use the toilet or something. Just because they are clean and not hungry doesn’t mean they don’t need comforting. Being held by their parent is their comfort and that is also a need to be met.

Hi mamas 💕 I wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this with your baby. My baby recently fell off the bed, and I’m feeling very worried. He cried right away, calmed down, and has been acting normal, but I would love to hear from other moms who have gone through something similar. Thank you 🤍

I feel like the world’s worst mum ever.

Yesterday my baby, nearly 1, fell from his high chair. I took him to a&e and they said he is fine but to just keep an eye on him. I honestly can’t shake this feeling away especially that I didn’t get to him quick enough. I feel like the worst mum in the world, I’m not eating, I’m not sleeping and constantly crying about the whole thing. My poor baby; he has a small bruise on his forehead and a bruise and a scratch on his knee. I’m absolutely devastated about the whole thing

what’s happening with my baby

my little girl is 2.5 weeks old. she has been latched onto my breast since 5pm, it’s now 11.30. i wish i could say i was exaggerating but she’s literally been feeding for 6.5 hours. she screams between each breast too.

she’s been awake the whole time and now she’s extremely overtired and won’t sleep. she’s had a 3oz bottle of breastmilk and is still rooting and chewing her hands.

i just don’t know what’s wrong with her or what to do.

Poop issue

Hey 👋🏽 First time momma here 🙈Anyone else’s baby boy struggling with no pooping? My boy is 3 months and 10 days old and today it’s his 23rd day without any poop only some smears on the cheeks! We went to see his pediatrician and I do the bicycle legs every day but i’m really concerned now about this situation. I feel lost and like i do something wrong. (He’s exclusively breastmilk fed baby).


So a little update! After his 23 days almost starting the 24th day HE FINALLY POOPED!!!! 😻💕 I gave him some formula then 3 hours later he spitted up half of what he ate then he went back to sleep woke up half hour later spitting up a little more then he fell asleep on my chest and I heard a fart… then a second fart where you know that “okay that fart actually wasn’t just fart” moment so i checked his diaper and a huuuge amount of poop finally 😻

Newborn advice please?

My 2 week old is going through a shift. He isn’t eating as he did when we first brought him home, he hasn’t pooped in about a day or so and he’s crying so much more. I know I’m mostly worried over nothing, but is there anything I can do to help him or make him more comfortable? TIA
