Please Come Home With Me....

So all of her friends that were there claiming to know how to stop her baby crying picked up that screaming baby and she did not stop crying no not one little bit. If anything she screamed at the top of her voice all she could. I was not this person´s personal friend so I said it sounds like she has to a colic attack and I picked her up very gently and she stopped right away and all of her friends stood there gobsmacked is the word I would give it. She did not cry until I gave her back to her mother. Her Mom says would you please come home with me? She was joking of course but I knew what it was like to rear a baby with colic attacks. I told her she needs to be rocked and loved when that happens. In any case she went back not long after that to Canada. I don´t know if the baby kept crying after that I really hope not.

I learned that I was a terrible crying baby, the only person who was able to stop it was a grandfather when we were in holidays in his home, by playing me some flute music. Bad that my mother was not a musician.

No worries tops your Grandfather had the know how not that I knew i had it either. She stopped crying in her tracks I only held her and smiled at her that was it pam she stopped. Your Mom must have gotten pretty frantic too as I used to be up nights and during the day as well.

@topffer Aha I was a bit like that too and did not tolerate that awful National Health Milk. I can understand your Mom I really can and I went with him to the Doctor´s no end of times and I ended up giving him an old fashioned remedy and by God it worked and I considered myself so luck to have dared to try it. He just went from strength to strength so much that when he did stop crying I thought something was wrong.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I wonder how my parents did not strangled me. I have an allergy to milk since birth (I can drink a bit today) and I was fed with mashed food.

My mother told be that I cried a lot when I was only a few weeks old. They later discovered I had a problem with the milk of my mom and the cow milk. The doctor switched me to goat milk and I never cried again.

I managed to survive on that awful milk that was given then. My Mom could not feed me as she worked so many hours of the day for so little money. Good job you took to goats milk that was unheard of here.

@MALUSE Glad you were able to get to drink it. It was something that was unheard of really even right up to now.

@lovinangelsinstead21 It was our family doctor who suggested this very old remedy.

So, did you rock her in your arms that she stopped crying. Our daughter is going to be 28 yr old this December, so I can't remember what we did to stop her from crying whenever she has colic. It's always her father, my husband who can make her stop from crying.

I did rock her but very softly because she was not my baby and in the minute I gave her back to her Mom she started again. Then she gave her back to me just to see and she stopped again and everyone was laughing a bit but not too much as the poor Mom was out of herself with so much distress. I suppose she must have felt at home I really don´t know to this day and its happened to me with other babies but not always either. Good job her Dad was able to calm her down very good job.

Some babies really do have colic problems and my youngest had that for a long time and Doctors were not sympathetic at all so I had to find ways to remedy it myself. A Nurse helped me out with the old fashioned remedy saying that should do it. Gripe water did nothing to ease it off so I guess I might have a kind of understanding of those babies that are fretful.

Well babies always cry anyway but babies with colic cry even more so.

@leny34 Most often they are picking up tension or something else around them as well as the might be colic as well. They draw their knees up to their tummy sometimes also.

@lovinangelsinstead21 it's true that they are hard to keep quiet when crying

Such a hard stage to live through, crying and colicky. I hope the mom took to heart the gentle approach you showed her.

I would hope that she did as she was quite frantic. I suspect that the baby was upset with the tension going on the house as well because she got separated from that guy.

They were both good really its just he suffered from colic like that girl´s baby and she stopped crying right away with me holding her. Her poor Mom was really upset and nervous.

When my kids still babies and couldn't stop them from crying, right after I gave to her mother they immediately stop crying like a magic.

No one can replace a Mom to stop a baby crying and very often the voice will calm them down.
