IS THAT BABY CRYING AGAIN

So, baby has been home for a while and things are settling into some sort of routine. Or the baby has settled into some sort of routine and we are still running ourselves ragged trying to keep up with his schedule. And he has a strict schedule already down pat. How long has he been home. My that was quick. What is he, some sort of super baby.

We are quickly discovering that our poor little defensive innocent new born baby is really smart. He has got us worked out already. He knows exactly what to do to get what he wants and is not shy in doing it either. You might say he has us twisted around his little finger and all in a few short weeks. He is in control. He runs the house. No question about that. Everything revolves around his needs and wants and desires. How did we get to this so quickly.

It appears we have grossly underestimated the intelligence of our little one. Is he smarter than me? It would appear so. He hollars and we come running. That is pretty smart. He has learned to train a fully grown adult to cater to his every whim and all in a few short weeks. If this carries on what will he be like as a terrible two or a teenager. Oh my goodness, don’t even think about it. We could be in for a very rough ride here. Things aren’t looking too good. Is it too late to make some changes. Surly we can outsmart this little guy. After all, he is only a few weeks old.

Well, the longer we leave the attempt to make some changes the harder it is going to be. Once this type of behavior is ingrained it is very difficult to shift and replace with something else. The time to start is right now. Baby has to know who is the boss. He has to learn some virtues such as patience and understanding etc. Pretty hard for a baby you reckon. Well he learned how to be impatient and demanding etc. so why can’t he learn other stuff. Remember, he has already shown just how smart he is so now you need to start channeling that smart into good attributes.

One little tip we used with our baby. You need to remember that one of the greatest worries for baby when settling down for a sleep is isolation. He can’t hear you and feels all alone. That makes him nervous and so he will never settle. Like we said before, leave the TV on and up loud so he can hear it. He needs to know your are close by. That gives him the comfort to be able to settle for a sleep. The noise won’t disturb his sleep. He will adapt to it. He is much more content being able to hear you than being left in a dark isolated ‘morgue’. We used to have a string tied to the cot and stretched out to the living room. While we watched TV at his slightest whimper we tugged the string and so rocked the cot. It only took a few times to reassure him that we were close by and so he settled to sleep, every time.
