But when she was 5 months old, I started understanding her cries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-understand-your-los-cries#post-87407 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 12:09:21 +0000 heffalump 87407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 7 months and I still don't know! It took us way too long to realize she has reflux, she used to cry for hours with no way to soothe her.</p> <p>Now that's taken care of and she's on a schedule so its pretty easy. If she hasn't eaten in about 2 1/2 hours than she's hungry. If she hasn't slept in over two hours she's tired. She doesn't cry over a poopy diaper, just complains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-understand-your-los-cries#post-87388 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:52:44 +0000 chopsuey 87388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO hardly ever cried when she was a newborn. She only cried when she was hungry so it was easy. :) Even now she doesn't cry when she has wet/dirty diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-understand-your-los-cries#post-87383 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:46:00 +0000 Andrea 87383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, i agree - having a schedule means taking a lot of the guess work out of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-understand-your-los-cries#post-87371 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:35:36 +0000 mrs. wagon 87371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>probably understood them by the time he started talking. Haha. </p> <p>But I was a SAHM so after we had a schedule down, I could pretty much predict what he would want/need at all times. I spent my days desperately trying to create a perfect environment so he'd never cry. </p> <p>Most of his crying was from illness, sleep training or, when Rob Sr. came home, overstimulation :) I kept him full all day so he never really had hunger cries, and he was on a very strict nap schedule so he never really had overtired cries. And he didn't mind dirty diapers so he didn't cry with those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-understand-your-los-cries#post-87368 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 11:33:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 87368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are starting to figure out the sounds of the cries, but still go more off of observing her actions. </p> <p>How long did it take you to know what you LO needed? </p>
