New born infant often seeks close physical contact with the mother. Crying could be one indication of demanding mother's touch. You may therefore consider holding the baby in your arms, closer to your chest when it cries in order to avoid it from weeping constantly.

Take a deep breath, and remember that this is an experience that nearly every new parent has. If you have made sure that they are clean, fed and comfortable, sometimes the best thing you can do is sit with them in a rocking chair and rock with them until they relax.

Crying is reflect action. Infants cry when s/he wants attentions, or uncomfortable. Check whether your child has stomach ache, may be hungry or may be infant is seeking your attention. If crying often and not able to figure out, consult pediatrician.

Make sure the child is not hungry or needing something. Don't stress. Babies cry, this is natural. Take care of yourself so you can care for the child. And if you think there is something wrong, please visit the pediatrician.

Simply don't panic. Babies will cry. I recommend you try to go through a check list of what could be wrong 1. diaper 2. Hungry? 3. tired

Try taking breaks if the crying becomes to overwhelming, even if you have to the leave the infant in a crib for five minutes it will help keep your cool. Also find some form of physical activity that you can do on a daily basis that will help with your stress levels as well. Never be afraid to ask for help when you have a new born.

Having an infant can be very stressful. Put them in a safe place where they can come to no danger ie cot and take ten minutes breather. Call a family or friend to lend a hand or there is a helpline called CRY-SIS that are free 24/7 for advice

Just remember, you are exactly that, a new parent. You will gain the strength to be able to tolerate the crying before you know it. Babies cry for no reason sometimes. Dont let yourself stress! If it becomes too much, take 10 minutes, relax, breathe! Take a break! The baby may still cry, but thats ok! Its not going to hurt them to cry. Selfcare first!

Ask Jesus for peace and keep calm, your mom went through the same thing and kept you so its time to do the same thing. God want us to love one another so you should love your own baby

Your child needs you. The moments you're about to lose your cool, remember that you're there with him/her and that's the biggest motive for him/her to smile. When you see your little kid smiling, you'll forget about everything else and everything else will be worthy.
