She fussed like you described when she needed something, but only really cried for baths. Once she hit the stage where she "woke up" she was kind of a fussy baby for a while, but I've noticed over the past few weeks she's back to just crying when she needs something and is easily soothed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-340067 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 13:01:28 +0000 chrispygal 340067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so happy to read this! I was starting to worry something was wrong with LO because she was TOO good! lol. She rarely cries. She'll cry if she's hungry and we're not fast enough getting her food, and she'll fuss a bit when she's tired but otherwise she is a quiet, happy baby. I laugh when she cries because I think it's cute. And yes, I realize how lucky I am and can't imagine how it would be if she cried all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-340060 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 12:33:49 +0000 Andrea 340060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She fussed a lot. Maybe it wasn't full on crying. We always felt like she wasn't that comfortable on a milk diet. We saw a noticeable change at 6 months when we started solids. She was much happier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-340059 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 12:33:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 340059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not at all! only if im taking too long to feed her, or if she has a gas bubble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-340058 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 12:31:06 +0000 BeachMama 340058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes Evelyn cries a lot, in my opinion. Not as much as in the early, colicky weeks, but usually in the afternoons she cries if I set her down. And she doesn't like getting dressed. Sometimes you will be holding her and she will literally be smiling and a split second later start crying for now apparent reason. A few weeks ago she went through a stage where she cried if she even looked at my dad. In general, I feel she's a happy baby now, but is very sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-339882 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 02:07:21 +0000 pinkcupcake 339882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There were a few evenings when L cried a lot (she had reflux) but for the most part, she was a really laid back newborn. </p> <p>Shes still super good and cheerful. Only cries when she's hungry, sick of her carseat, or wants to be held. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338702 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:33:38 +0000 sarac 338702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely as an infant. And when she did, I just popped a boob in her mouth. Now that she's a toddler, there's more crying when I've thwarted her little will. That's to be expected, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338657 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:09:53 +0000 brownie 338657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son cried for 12 to 15 hours every day for the first few weeks. He was then very upset until about 4 months old. He is Dairy and Soy intolerant and so he was constantly in pain. We have finally gotten his issues under control. So it was pretty hard on us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338623 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:57:29 +0000 Weagle 338623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. She usually cries if she's hungry, or we don't get her out of the crib quickly enough. She is starting to realize that fussing will get her something, so I think we're starting to see more and more crying. However, she smiles while she's fussing...needs to work on her poker face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338610 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:53:38 +0000 Mrsbells 338610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby cried a lot for the first 8 weeks but then she really calmed down. Now she makes fussy noises and yells at the top of her lungs but only cries if she something is wrong and usually stops crying as soon as she sees me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338601 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:50:09 +0000 heffalump 338601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She had reflux. Yes..... she cried a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338518 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:29:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 338518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO did cry a lot when she was little (under 8 weeks old) because she had colic due to digestive issues. Now she only cries when she has gas really bad; and as soon as we bicycle her legs and give her gas drops she stops crying. </p> <p>She does do a fake cry already when she wants to be held but I’ve set her down – such a little drama queen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338517 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:29:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: same!! He fusses when he starts to get unhappy and only really cries if I don't respond in time. He cries when he gets hurt - like banging his head on his crib (which he does a lot sadly!). He cries when he is overtired too. I never let him get hungry so I don't think he ever cries about that.</p> <p>He hardly ever cries though so I know when he does he has a need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338514 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:28:46 +0000 loveisstrange 338514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was awful as a newborn but is getting better with age. She really only cried when she is really hungry, hurt or scared now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338511 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:27:48 +0000 chopsuey 338511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M wasn't a crier. She was a super good newborn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338505 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:24:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 338505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive was not a crybaby at all as a newborn. the only time she really cried was after her 2 month shots.</p> <p>now she does have a bit of an attitude when she doesn't get her way (she hates getting dressed, leaving the playground, etc). but i wouldn't say that she cries a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338504 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:23:57 +0000 littlek 338504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS cries when he's hungry or overly tired. I personally don't think he cries a lot, he is a very smiley happy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddoes-your-infant-actually-cry-a-lot#post-338490 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:20:51 +0000 mediagirl 338490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are very few times when M actually cries. She makes fussy noises that usually tell me that she is unhappy and needs something but they hardly ever turn into a full blown cry. The only time she has really ever cried is when she was in pain (like from her shots). :(</p> <p>Does your infant cry a lot? </p>
