When Babies Cry

Sometimes, babies just cry! It's perfectly normal for a baby to cry for 2-4 hours a day. They may be hungry, need a diaper change, need cuddling, or may simply cry for no reason. When the stress level rises, it's time for a TIME OUT! Try this:

• Place the baby in a crib and walk away.
• Take a few minutes to yourself in another room.
• Ask a trusted friend, neighbor or relative to watch your child while you take a break or nap.
