My DS who is 9 weeks cries at certain times of the day (like now!) when we put him down for a sleep. Other times he grizzles, or makes little noises then drifts off. I rock him in his bassinet when he cries and stop once he has settled down.

I have started walking him in the afternoon, as he wouldnt sleep a wink! Now we walk for an hour and he sleeps pretty much the whole time. Thats a great improvement on screaming for an hour

oh and just to add that there have been times where the cries have been a lot more intense/in pain and that's when he has wind that he can't get up, and requires him to be picked up and burped until it's out. However I cut out dairy a week ago and it has helped enormously with this.

I can tell it's wind, and not just him getting to sleep, by the tone of the cry and because he'll cry when on his back no matter where he is, and not just in his bed.]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:58:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32579&PID=984789&title=does-your-baby-cry-every-time#984789 <![CDATA[Does your baby cry EVERY time..... : ds has always cried for at least...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32579&PID=984783&title=does-your-baby-cry-every-time#984783 Author: kaybee

ds has always cried for at least a few minutes when put into bed, after about 4 weeks we started using a dummy, then weaned him off it a few weeks ago and he resumed crying before going to sleep. Often it's more a protest than a real cry.

His crying has been getting less though, and yesterday he went to sleep each time without a peep, I couldn't believe it! It's probably because he's learned to self-settle, but I also just got a sheepskin rug which I put under the fitted sheet in the cot and I think that might also be why - I mean who could cry when lying on something that comfortable?!

I have to agree with bizzy on this one.

Both of my babies cried/grizzled a bit before sleeping when they were that young. But it was a settling sort of cry, not a distressed cry, if that makes sense. You could hear the difference when they were really really upset.

After about 8-10 weeks they started having the dummy for sleeps which sort of got rid of that.

My DS wasn't in to self-settling.

Yep Clodagh still does at 10 months old She's just not great at self settling. If she DOESN'T cry when we put her down....she wakes soon after and makes up for it lol. Hopefully your bubba will outgrow it cos its very stressful. We still have to parent Clodagh to sleep most nights.....

I did the 5 min controlled crying.

In my experience some babies are great self-settlers, and others aren't. At only 8 weeks old I see no harm in 'parenting' your baby to sleep ie: rocking / feeding / patting etc. You might have more luck that way. ]]> Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:51:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32579&PID=983957&title=does-your-baby-cry-every-time#983957 <![CDATA[Does your baby cry EVERY time..... : hugs - its stressful isn't...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32579&PID=983943&title=does-your-baby-cry-every-time#983943 Author: littlestar

hugs - its stressful isn't it. We had problems with Ryan and only now figuring out what works and what doesn't!
Could he still be hungry? Could he still have some wind to get out? Maybe have a chat with your dr to check it isn't reflux. Maybe keep him up just a teeny bit longer to wear him out just a smidge more.
HUGS - it will get better!]]> Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:41:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32579&PID=983943&title=does-your-baby-cry-every-time#983943 <![CDATA[Does your baby cry EVERY time..... : Some babies need to cry to wind...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32579&PID=983940&title=does-your-baby-cry-every-time#983940 Author: HoneybunsMa

Some babies need to cry to wind down. DD grizzles but doesn't cry most times when we put her to sleep at 8mths old. At 8 weeks old she would cry everytime unless I held/cuddled/rocked/jiggled you name it I did it to put her to sleep.

DD used to be so tired she would want to sleep but fight it every step of the way even as far as eyes would close head would drop then tada rigid again

.....they get put into bed to go to sleep? My 8 week old cries and fights going to sleep EVERY single time and I feel stink :-( He gets fed one side, nappy change/off time, fed some more, then on his playmat etc till I see tired signs. I usually try to sweep him up into bed by the first yawn that I see.

Am I missing something? Or do some babies need to cry before they wind down to go to sleep?
