We are starting to figure out the sounds of the cries, but still go more off of observing her actions.
How long did it take you to know what you LO needed?
-
probably understood them by the time he started talking. Haha.
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.
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.

yeah, i agree - having a schedule means taking a lot of the guess work out of it!

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!

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.
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.

Honestly, LO is 7 months old and I'm still figuring it out! But when she was 5 months old, I started understanding her cries.
