At delivery, your baby's powerful wails are a welcome sign that
you've given birth to a healthy child. However, if after the first
week or two, your infant continues to scream, his crying may become
the last thing that you want to hear! But, we should be grateful
for our baby's crying - it's one of their most wonderful abilities.
During the first few months of life, your baby will have no problem
getting by without the foggiest idea of how to smile or talk, but
he would be in terrible danger if he couldn't call out to you. Getting
your attention is so important that your newborn can cry from the
minute his head popped out of you. This great ability is called
the "crying" reflex.
The Crying Reflex - Nature's brilliant solution for getting
a cavewoman's attention!
My guess is that millions of years ago, a Stone Age baby accidentally
was born with a perfect way of getting his mother to come to him
- screaming. Even if he yelped just because he had the hiccups or
had scared himself, his mom appeared in seconds.
We may never know exactly when or how ancient human babies learned
to cry, yet it's clear that the cave babies, who survived and passed
their genes on to us, were those who could "raise a ruckus".
Your baby's shrill cry is powerful enough to yank you out of bed
or hoist you off the toilet with your pants down. (Not bad for a
ten-pound weakling!) However, it is a mistake to think your baby
is crying because he's trying to call you for help. During the first
few months, trying to get your attention is the furthest thing from
your crying baby's mind. In fact, the amazing truth is your baby
has absolutely no idea he's even sending you a message.
When you hear your two-week-old scream, you're not getting a communication
from him; rather you're accidentally eavesdropping on his conversation
with
himself.
His cries are like agitated complaints he's muttering to himself,
"Gosh, I'm hungry." or "Boy, I'm cold." Since
you're right next to him, you hear his grumbles and want to lovingly
respond, "What's the matter sweetheart? You sound upset."
"The sound of a crying baby is just about the most disturbing,
demanding, shattering noise we can hear. In the baby's crying there
is no future or past only now. There is no appeasement, no negotiations
possible, no reasonableness." - Sheila Kitzinger, The Crying
Baby
All babies have short periods of crying that usually last for a
few minutes, totaling about a half hour a day. These babies settle
quickly once fed, picked up or carried. However, once colicky babies
start their frantic screaming, they can yell, on and off, for hours.
But now, with this DVD, you will know the techniques in soothing
and calming them!
