My daughter is five months matured... how long is considered "acceptable" to agree to her cry when putting her down?
My doctor said about 10 mintues was fine when she was one and only 2 months old, and I'm assuming as they get older it would be ok to loaf longer. If you know they're not hungry or wet, and they are tired, how long have some of you let your child cry before getting them?
My baby is 4 months outmoded and has slept through the night since he was 9 weeks old-fashioned. I let him cry for 3 minutes, then 5, then 10...etc. Normally after the 3 minutes cry I put his dummy surrounded by (which he has only to help him to sleep) and he go off but occasionally it can take a while longer. It took me a week or so to get him used to it but he's brilliant presently and may whimper a bit but goes down pretty easy. My Health Visitor said to leave him as long as it take but it was just TOO long and he started getting distressed. Every mum is different and every baby is different so you do what you grain best...good luck x Source(s): Mother of a 4 month old baby boy and a 15 year elderly girl
At five months weak, I let our son cry from waking up from his nap or bedtime for 5-10 minutes in the past picking him up because he was hungry. He would nurse right away. But we also started putting him to sleep in his crib in his own room around indistinguishable time.
We would start with naps and let him cry for 10-20 to see if he would sleep. He would shift to sleep within 10 minutes though and only would cry for the full 20 minutes if he wasn't really tired. At that point, I would pick him up and play with him and cool him down, and try again later. He started sleeping in his crib throughout the night since he be 5 1/2 months old because of this method. Now he looks forward to his naps and tells us to shift because he can't fall asleep if someone is in the room with him.
Each situation and parent/child is different, so it is really easier said than done to say how long you should wait for your baby to cry. What might work for some may not work for others, so a short time ago try it out. If your baby does not mind crying for 10 minutes and is not in distress, it's okay. Do not feel guilty almost it.
You ask how long- my answer is nought seconds. For one, your daughter is still an infant and you need to be there for her when she requirements you. She cries to let you know that she needs you. Second, if you let her cry for 5, 10, 15, or however various minutes and then go to her, and you are trying to get her to "self-soothe" , you are defeat the purpose.
They are only young once, why do people enjoy such issues holding and comforting their babies?
I didn't really let my daughter cry when I put her down until she was about 8 months antediluvian. 2 months is far too young to be letting your child cry it out in my opinon. 10 minutes I guess is okay, but it's been proven that letting youthful babies cry it out for long periods, such as 20 minutes or more can cause all types of problems next to them neurologically and emotionally. The Ferber method (Crying It Out) use to be embraced by a lot of parents but even he has lately taken back his idea of the method because people be just letting their children cry for too long and they had seizures and adjectives kinds of problems, because certain chemicals get released into a childish childs brain in that situation and huge amounts of it can be harmful.
If you must, I'd do 10 minutes and if your baby have not calmed themselves, try swaddling, rocking, singing...
I have found that when you swaddle your baby, after letting them swing for awhile in their swing on low and later rocking them to sleep, that helps, but you must sit in a room where the lights are out and there's no rumbling or activity that could stimulate their brains.
There's a book called,"The Happiest Baby On The Block," and it's really good and help with situations like this, so I suggest checking it out.
i agree with the 10-15 min then go check on her...dont pic her up or anything of late talk to het a bit check on her and leave again then repeat if needed
this is more of a personal decision than something with a definitive answer. Controlled crying would recommend no more than 15 minutes. But it's all something like knowing your baby. When my son was that age he would cry for up to ten minutes and then move about to sleep, and that worked for us. With my daughter, she never slept if she was crying so I wouldn't make her sit there screaming when I know there was no point to it. Two months is still very immature to let a baby cry it out completely.
You'll hear every answer from, "never set your baby down for a second or permit them be unhappy in anyway" to "leave them to cry until they topple asleep, however long it takes" both of these are pretty extreme, you just need to learn what works for you and next be confident that you're doing the best for your baby. There's more than one way to be a great mommy and no one know your baby better than you. Source(s): mommy of 3 year old and 18 month old
zero seconds.
you need a new Dr and since youre going to let her cry anyway near is no sense in telling you how long she SHOULD CRY..Because babies shouldnt cry cause someone tell them it is OK...
You should only wait 10-15 minutes max before at least possible going in to check on them. I only wait nearly 10 because I can't stand the crying
I'm lucky, my five month out-of-date daughter really only cries when she needs something so I always pick her up right away. When she's tired she may fuss for a minute or two past falling asleep but never really cries.
Answers: you are not a terrible mother, these people are only morons. i can't believe the responses you got back from this. must be nice to have a little one that never cries. honey, my child is 4 1/2 months old and cries ALL the time. she is fed, dry, no fever. i am deeply attentive, but when all else fails, some time to cry for her and some time alone of me is all i can do. every time beforehand nap she cries for about 30min, sometimes an hour till she falls asleep. every baby is different, you a moment ago have to be tuned into your child's needs. sometimes there is nought you can do. i wish some of these morons could spend a week with my daughter, they wouldn't know what to do. don't worry, you will know when its too long, but remember, letting your daughter cry after you hold met every other need you can think of does not make you a doomed to failure mother. i am a damn good mother, but sometimes that isn't enough. good luck
DONT LET HER DOWN UNLESS YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT
(I NEVER LET MY BABY DOWN AND HE IS 2 WEEKS I LOVE WHEN HE IS ON MY HEART EVERY MIN.)
1) Get a new doctor.
2) 10-15 minutes is the MAX when you're using controlled crying. The time limit doesn't become longer when your baby get older.
3) Controlled crying isn't even recommended until your baby is 6 months in age.
"Ferber recommend using his method if your baby is 6 months or older."
Personally, I've never used this method with our son. But if you are going to use it at tiniest do some research on it and use it correctly! Source(s): http://babyminestore.com/newsFerberMetho…
I haven't. There's no function for her to get upset if all I have to do to spawn her happy is hold her.
"Please keep in mind my question is not whether I SHOULD tolerate her cry, but for HOW LONG. Thanks."
As long as it takes for SIDS to kick in, I guess? Source(s): LOLZ u is a TERRIBLE mother
