Crying for mommy ?

My daughter had like 4 days of this around 4 weeks to it got better after a few days

To my understanding, at 4 weeks old babies still don’t see themselves as separate from their moms so I think it makes total sense that your LO would be crying for you. I also don’t believe in letting them cry it out so I would personally cater to that to my best ability. Again, this is just my understanding but I don’t think babies have soothing skills at 4 weeks so letting them cry it out that young probably wouldn’t work the way it would for a baby who’s a little older. I would try to gently explain to your husband that LO is still transitioning from womb to world and that can be hard so it’s okay and completely normal for them to need mom a little more during this period.

Babies ABSOLUTELY cry for their mother. They just spent 9-10 months sharing your body 24/7. It’s an adjustment for everyone involved. As a mom of two now, I don’t believe in the “cry it out” method. Never did for a few reasons; 1) it doesn’t actually work. Babies don’t learn to “self-soothe” That actually isn’t a thing for them. 2) crying is their ONLY way of communication. It isn’t always bad & doesn’t always mean that they’re upset. And 3) because if you allow them to “cry it out” they are learning that you won’t come when they cry. Even having said all of this, if you need 20 minutes, TAKE 20 MINUTES. The baby will be fine. Set her in the bassinet and have the monitor on her, and leave the room if you need it. Taking a break is absolutely OKAY. 🫶🏼 I want to be perfectly clear too: You are not a bad mom whether you let her “cry it out” or not! Good luck with everything!!

They would absolutely be crying for mom! Some babies are always ok being held by various caregivers, but it’s very, very normal for them to go through long periods of only wanting mom or only wanting a certain caregiver. Even if you decided cry it out was what’s best for your family, even sleep training advocates don’t advise any sleep training until 4-6 months. However, this doesn’t mean that if you’re unavailable and baby is crying in another caregiver’s arms that that is “cry it out,” they would still be being supported and comforted under those circumstances even if still upset.
