Coping With The Cries No One Ever Tells You About

4. Talk about it.

Sometimes the easiest way to deal is to talk to someone else, specifically another mom. When we don’t discuss it it’s easy to assume no one else in the world understands or is dealing with the struggles we are. It creates this bubble where we are alone and isolated which only magnifies the issues and makes them seem impossible to overcome. Talking can be helpful in countless ways whether it’s simply having someone to listen or someone to validate what you’re going through. It can mean you get feedback and support that you are in fact doing a good job and it can even mean getting advice and tips to help you deal from someone who has also been there.

5. Hang in there.

As I said, it does get better. Growth spurts will end. The baby will eventually fall asleep. There is no issue that is going to be never-ending, especially if you’re working on them to the best of your ability. If something seems really wrong ALWAYS talk to the doctor about it but most situations you encounter will be normal “baby stuff” and it will pass.

Babies are all different but one thing they have in common is that they will all catch colds, teethe, go through days of cluster feeding, and they will ALL cry. You’re not alone and you can do this!
