Lately, though, at 22 months, the struggle is real! I think it's a combination of frustration in not being able to express and explain himself and exerting his independence. But he rarely cries for a long period of time- he recovers really well. And I haven't seen a true tantrum yet. I'm just waiting for that day..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2506301 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 22:34:08 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2506301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. We got lucky. T is 7 months old and while he gets "fussy" if he's overtired or hungry, he rarely truly cries. Occasionally in the car seat or during middle of the night diaper changes. He hates those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2506264 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 21:42:25 +0000 autumnlove 2506264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: so many emotions!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2506177 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:36:55 +0000 sandy 2506177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO hardly ever cried and even when she did it would be for maybe a few seconds. She could bash her face and have blood gushing and she'd only cry for a few seconds. She was the easiest baby/toddler. Then she turned 3 and there are so many emotions! Mostly she cries when in trouble or if something doesn't go exactly as she wanted/expected. But we are so lucky (crosses fingers the next one is just as easy!) bc even now her tears are short lived and few and far between </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2506155 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:24:26 +0000 catomd00 2506155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No she's never been a big crier. My sitter and her husband comment all the time how she never cries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2506154 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:23:25 +0000 Mae 2506154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she cries maybe slightly less than normal for her age (almost 2). I mean, she cries OFTEN but almost never for more than like, 15 seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2506095 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 19:38:30 +0000 LilSprinkles 2506095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2.5, and I'd say he barely cries. When he does, it's a very quiet cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505810 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:32:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 2505810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1: so dramatic (3 1/2.) I feel like she should be outgrowing it soon but she cries a lot, especially when tired. </p> <p>DD2: 1 year old - only cries when upset or in pain, when she cries I know something is up because it is so against her nature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505787 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:21:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2505787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past DD1 cried a lot. But she was a poor sleeper so was very overtired so that explains a lot of it. And though she's only 2.5 I feel like she's starting to learn how to handle waiting and disappointment and big emtional a bit better. I'd say she cries an average amount.</p> <p>DD2 had reflux so there was a ton of night crying for a while. And right now she has strep throat so her crying is way way on the extreme end. But usually shes a pretty chill kid and doesn't really cry. She uses whining to communicate versus crying. She's 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505780 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:14:51 +0000 FancyGem 2505780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505778 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:14:12 +0000 FancyGem 2505778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, My son cries for any and everything. He is very dramatic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505745 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 14:57:43 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2505745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what normal is anymore.</p> <p>They definitely cry, at 3.5 and almost 6m. When healthy I don't think they're beyond normal and my 6m baby is pretty chill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505743 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 14:56:42 +0000 PawPrints 2505743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is nearly 12 months and has never been a big crier. I feel lucky she turned out that way, since it has made me pretty confident that when she does cry, there's something wrong that I probably know how to fix. Her daycare teachers have commented on it, how she hardly ever really cries, she just kind of makes this sad noise when she's unhappy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505667 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 14:06:56 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2505667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 3.5 and, yeah, he has ALL the feels. When he cries for the umpteenth time I just sing that song to myself: "It's alright to cry. Crying gets the sad out of you..."<br /> My daughter is 10 weeks and used to be borderline colicky, but now cries what I think is a normal amount for a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505626 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 13:41:52 +0000 Kemma 2505626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My big girl is 3.5 and I feel like it's been non-stop tears and tantrums for the last week or so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505617 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 13:36:05 +0000 anonysquire 2505617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD hardly ever cries. She only cries if she is going to throw up or occasionally when she's really tired.</p> <p>DS cries all the time. Atleast 8 hours a day. "Colic". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505581 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 13:11:42 +0000 Andrea 2505581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

Usually only if he gets hurt or if he is in big trouble!</p> <p>DS2 is 15 months and I feel like he cries a lot! He is a disaster climbing on stuff and falling and getting hurt often. Also, I just think he's in the phase where he can't communicate so cries / fusses for what he wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505443 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:51:03 +0000 FaithFertility 2505443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: DITTO!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505442 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:50:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2505442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 is 2.5 and yes, for her age I think she does. </p> <p>Lo2 is 3 months and really doesn't! Just when she is hungry or overtired. It's nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505430 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:37:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2505430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD wasn't the best sleeper or eater, but she also didn't cry much so whenever she did cry, I knew she really needed something. It's still true now... Except she has fake cries and other cries lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2505427 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:35:07 +0000 kodybear 2505427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dd - yes! shes all drama and theatrics. (also a threenager..)</p> <p>ds - no, when he cries its usually when hes hurt or hungry, but he gets over it fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-kids-cry-a-lot#post-2502168 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:30:00 +0000 autumnlove 2502168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 doesn't cry very often at age 4. LO 3 is 7 months and cries in situations like being tired, hungry, regular baby stuff, etc.</p> <p>I feel like LO 2 cries a lot right now over small things that didn't bother her before. She will be 3 years old next month and she has been pretty dramatic and emotional for the last two weeks! Threenager?! </p>
