It's called the period of purple crying, where babies go through like a bewitching hour every day. You know, they can cry for like a whole hour straight, for a few hours, whatever the case might be, for no reason, right? Like there doesn't seem to be a reason. There's no emergency, the baby's fed, changed, clothed, you know, coddled, snuggled, all of that, right? And the baby still cries.

This kind of thing does pass. Sometimes it can stay for like a week, a month, a couple of months, a few months, and it is so rough to deal with. I absolutely get it. The important thing for you and for whomever else might be dealing with this is to put the baby down in a safe space, you know, and just walk away. Go do something else, you know, listen to music, whatever it might be so you can get your self-care.

Set a timer, you know, maybe give yourself like 10 minutes and, you know, get a glass of water, maybe go to the bathroom, right? So, you know, listen to your favorite song, whatever the case might be. Take yourself away from the situation and then go back in, you know, handle it and take as many breaks as you need. You know, as long as the baby is safe, you know, you're good.

It is also important you know especially if say the mother is breastfeeding maybe the baby has a intolerance to dairy products. That was the case for both my children when I was breastfeeding both of them when they were babies and I had to cut dairy out and it made a world of difference to their fussiness. So there's that idea.

Another thing that really helped my babies when they were babies, right now they're older children. One thing that helped them was swaddling them in a blanket. I would wrap them up like a cute little burrito, you know, leaving enough space for them to like kind of move a little bit, you know, make sure you don't want to make it too tight so they, you know, just make sure they can breathe good adequately in the blanket, but that helped a lot.

I think it's important to also acknowledge that babies don't talk in the way that we understand yet. And babies become overwhelmed as well, overstimulated as well by like what's around them, etc. It is an adjustment period for them to get used to no longer being in the womb. So, you know, it could be the baby.

So it could be that the baby just needs to let it out, you know, which is why it's important for you to like take that moment to yourself, you know, because it is distressing a little bit to hear a baby cry nonstop, especially as fixers, especially as, you know, we want to make sure the baby's always comfortable and happy and upbeat and everything. But just, you know, that's what I have.

If you're willing record, if you want to share like specifically what is happening, you know, I can do my best to point you in the direction of some information, maybe some support, and so forth. Yeah, I hope everything turns out well and you know you guys can get the support and the rest you need.
