8 Surprising Reasons Your Baby's Crying
Just because the air is a tad brisk outside doesn't mean your baby needs to be dressed for dogsledding in Siberia. Parents tend to overdress infants, who get cranky when they're hot and sweaty -- just like adults do.
The fix: Dress your baby in the same number of layers as you're wearing. If you're not sure whether she's too hot or too cold, put your hand on her tummy or back to gauge her body temperature. "A baby's feet or cheeks can often seem cool even when she's comfortable," says Charlotte Cowan, MD, a pediatrician in Boston..

oh good grief!! Nair?!? Talk and walk at 1 month?!! I don't buy it... Babies can barely hold their heads up at 1 month yet alone their bodies. Their bones are still developing and are not strong enough to hold up their weight.
1/19/2012 08:57:02 AM Report AbuseTeething Tablets!!! They are a god send, 100% natural and can use as often as needed. They are by Hylands. You can buy them at Walgreens and walmart that I know of. I used them with my first child that had 6 teeth coming in all at once and we tried everything and that was the only remedy that worked.

4/27/2011 03:50:00 PM Report Abuse@ ilovejohnydepp, you could try some soothing music to calm him down... may be it'll not do the magic for the 1st time... but trust me gradually it'll help... I don't know if you ever tried bathing him before his bedtime... try to give him a bath and a gentle massage before his bedtime and you could turn the music on when you bathing him or giving him the massage... I've a 4 month old daughter and this is working for her!!!!!! best of luck with your baby...

2/3/2011 01:27:30 PM Report AbuseI have a comment about the "I'm Starving" page above. You say it's not really possible to over feed a breastfed baby, I disagree. It is quite possible. I have done it thinking my baby is hungry when in fact she's sleepy as stated above and then she wakes up crying soon after and as soon as I pick her up, my gown is toast with, vomit! That is over feeding so now I try to soothe her in every other way before feeding.
12/2/2010 08:44:18 PM Report AbuseFor ilovejohnnydepp, yes that is possible. I went through the same thing and still am. My little girl is only 4 months and she does it as well. She also fights nap times which started about 5 weeks ago.

9/8/2010 09:27:58 PM Report AbuseI just have a question for any of you girls or guys out there. My newborn just turned 6 weeks, and he is the happiest baby EVER! But he tends to cry when its bedtime, and im trying to feed it, like he is trying to fight it. Is that possible? do you think they really try to fight it at that age?? Please let me know your opinions!
7/29/2010 09:58:25 PM Report AbuseTeach babies American Sign Language because before they can talk, they will be able to pick up the signs and better communicate with you.
6/2/2010 04:07:02 PM Report AbuseNo baby talks at 1 month. The cerebral cortex in an infant this old is underdeveloped and has not yet begun to process speech patterns. I believe there is wishful thinking on behalf of mommy.
