Hang in there; this normal crying phase in your baby's life will come to an end soon!Juliehttp://purplecrying.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-59020183024471209082010-02-21T10:39:43.938-06:002010-02-21T10:39:43.938-06:00Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. FLASHBACKS. Oh, Kenny, ...Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. FLASHBACKS. Oh, Kenny, I'm so sorry. The exhaustion, the crying, the not knowing WTH to do to stop the crying, the trying to not seem stressed or exhausted for fear the baby will sense that and self combust, oh... I am remembering it all too well. <br /><br />Sounds like you've got a good outlook, and you're being proactive. Hang in there! You're certainly not alone, either. I will add, don't be afraid to jiggle. It really helped us once we learned to put Kendall in his bouncy seat and vigorously bounce him. He also settled a bit when I strapped him in the Moby wrap and bounced really hard on my yoga ball. Not sure if it will work for Miloh because, unfortunately for those of us trying to help each other, no two babies are calmed by the same thing, but it's worth a try.<br /><br />Interesting about the purple crying. Will have to look into that.Jill @BabyRabieshttp://babyrabies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-83112523855812437562010-02-21T01:11:00.156-06:002010-02-21T01:11:00.156-06:00"I'm going to make sure I am calmed...in ..."I'm going to make sure I am calmed...in hopes that he feels some of that and it helps him too."

The f...Nellie went through an insane fussy period.. The first week and a half of her life she was great. She'd sleep in 2 hour increments the entire night... Then she rebelled against sleeping in her cradle. I'm going on the second night of a swaddle-feed-burp-change-sleep method. It's worked great so far and I'm hoping she sticks with it.<br /><br />Baby definitely feeds off your energy I think so try your best to stay calm and use soothing tones. Also, I've been keeping rooms dark at night and have been interacting very little with Nellie during nighttime feedings.. It's all business. I don't talk or sing to her. I have read that this helps little ones get the signal that it's time for sleep, not play. It's hard, b/c when she smiles at me I want to cuddle and love and tell her how amazing she is but I also want to sleep so I'm a better mommy.<br /><br />Good luck..

All I got for you is a stroller ride on bumpy terrain and holding him swaddled while sitting on an exercise ball bouncing up and down. You would have thought I would have had killer thighs after this, but the zucchini bread offset any muscle gain.
