My husband and I fight because our 2 month old cries: Thoughts?

Your husband sounds like an abusive asshole who needs an education about babies.

He’s TWO MONTHS, not years. Holy cow I’m guessing your husband hasn’t been around newborns. My husband never had either. The difference is my hubby would get up in the middle of the night when any of our babies cried. He wanted me to sleep bc my job was harder than his. Your husband needs a reality check!

He’s 2 months old he cry’s to communicate , what is wrong with your husband ???

Gonna be a long 18 years if y’all can’t agree on how to soothe a baby.

I had this my husband and he was fighting with me. And your baby will not sleep because they no you have problems that is y your baby won’t sleep. And your husband will be jealous of you. And if you put music on low your baby will sleep but you should not fight when your baby is in your house

God help him when he starts teething.what will he do then.

Your husband needs to go go to a parenting course or something because he obviously has no idea.
My 2 year old cries more now then as a new born because he has tantrums left right a centre. God help you and your baby then :frowning:

Sounds like he’s picking up on you guys bullshit. He’s just a baby 🤦

Sorry to hear that I have 2month and sometimes he gets fussy and cries. Just pick him/her up all they want is love and comfort. Most time the are hungry, dirty, or have colics but Its best to start working on routine so they don’t become confused. Change. Try to change formula if not breastfeeding. Could be the cause.

Ummmm, when you have children youvare on their schedule. Especially with a newborn. Just because you lay him down at his bed time doesn’t always mean it’s bed time. Your husband sounds childish. Next time he cries check his diaper because he needs some changing.

Don’t know your ages. If that’s the worst thing that happens in your life then you’ll have it better than the rest of us. The baby is 2 months old. There are different reason babies cry at night. He could be hungry at that age .Could be wet, constipated, lonely etc…

A lot of babies don’t sleep the whole night through.They will Over time. The first year has a lot of changes. Crying is there only way to tell you something is wrong. It’s up to you to figure it out. They really don’t come with instructions . Ask other parents with Childern or look things up. It’s what I had to do because I didn’t have no one to turn too. Good luck in parenting. It does get easier. You husband does need to work with you and the baby. It’s new for all of you. Good luck.

Um you all need to go to parent counseling… you should be on the same page when it comes to parenting… your husband sounds like an ass…who has heard of a 2 month old not crying through the night… I hope you are feeding and changing the poor child when he wakes up crying at night… you may want to go talk to a professional

Has your husband ever been around babies? Crying is what they do, it is normal. They can’t talk so of course they have to be able to tell you when they are hungry, tired, wet, uncomfortable, hot, cold, sick, fussy, teething etc. Tell him to prepare to hear it for the next 18-25 years of his life lol.

Your arguing over your baby crying? Am I reading this right? What does your husband know! “He shouldn’t be crying” :joy: maybe your baby is crying because he can feel dads negative vibes! Or maybe he’s just crying because he wants a cuddle or he has tummy ache. Don’t ignore his cries give the baby the attention he wants and tell your husband to shut up

You know your baby… sometimes they cry bc they r wet sometimes they cry bc they r hungry n sometimes they cry bc they want comforting… every cry is different. As a mother u know each n every one. If they r wet or hungry…yes. Handle it. But sometimes u do have to just let them cry bc like any other human being if u give into their constant demands they will use it. Sometimes if you KNOW they r not hungry or wet u just have to let them fuss

I have 8 kids and have learned a thing or two. In my experience it can be a few things. Its possible hes allergic to formula or has colic. First, are you burping him every ounce if on bottle. Burping is very important, also he could be stll hungry. If baby is using formula and is allergic sometimes it effects their breathing and its uncomfortable for them, like a head ache. Sometimes they can be itchy and show no signs of rash. Its most likely colic though if it happens at same time of day.

Omg this was me and my husband. Take turns to take care of baby with whatever u feel is needed for the baby. May b both of u r stressed with the whole baby situation. Give time for each other. This too shall pass.

Baby also cries because it feels the tension between the parents

When your baby cries go to the baby immediately and pick him up and love on him or her don’t just let them cry they grow up insecure something’s wrong or is it just want you to hold him usually they’re wet hungry or just wants to cuddle with Mom no doubt it’s teething time things will get better through Time and your husband really needs to grow up if you the Mom feels stressed the baby feels a lot of what you feel things get worse you’re with your husband you can afford to and he don’t grow up leave his sorry ass

I feel like your lacking on information here. Your baby is 2 months!!! If it’s crying it’s because it’s hungry, or still hungry or could have tummy issues. Your lucky it’s not colic? Or is it? Do you breast feed or formula? Talk to your Dr. Get up, comfort, change, and feed your baby. My first was colicky. I’d run water, basically do anything to comfort. It was a tough go for a while. Your husband isn’t understanding of your reality. Do what you have to. Love your child. It will get better! Your husband on the other hand might not. I’m sure you’re exhausted. Do the best you can and know you will get though this!

2 MONTHS OLD!! Not a question of who’s needs come first, your lil ones
Is he jealous or abusive/controlling
Show him all the literature on the first year… maybe teaching him will help him understand?

It gets better, my son was like that, now at 3 months old he barely cries and isnt so fussy anymore, just hang in there

U married an asshole but hey u knew dat already screw him he doesn’t matter ya son does luv him UNCONDITIONALLY no matter wat

… I hate to be this person, but your husband sounds like an ass. He needs to sit down and stfu. He obviously has no clue what he’s talking about. You’re in the right. He’s an infant. Do not just let him cry. I have two children and at two months I picked them up and held them if they were crying. It can cause emotional and mental issues if you don’t.

I do believe if there is whimpering go over give him a pacifier and put your hand on their back and tell them they’re okay. If it’s a full-blown outcry yes pick them up. They need love

Sounds like you are both tired and on edge. Babies cry, but to what degree do you need to deal with it all depends on the cry. If it’s a full on cry then by all means go and comfort. Check your routine, perhaps you are missing that 1 last feed that bubs needs to get to sleep. Been there, done that and know how stressful it can be.
Your husband is not an ass like others are saying. It sounds like the 2 of you just need to learn to work together and learn some coping mechanisms without having to fight.

You all are stupid for that queation

Unfortunately they can’t talk at four months. They might have tummy trouble or earaches and they can’t express it in words. As someone who doesn’t do well without sleep I do understand your husband’s frustration. But make sure the baby is healthy before you decide to let him “cry it out.” I’ve raised four so I’ve been through it all.

Hold him. He could be hungry. He is only 2 months, it’s normal for him to cry and fuss. He could have a multiple of things bothering him. Or he could just be clingy. You are gonna both think you have the right answers but there is no one way that’s the best way. It’s all trial and error. And once you think u have it figured out they enter a new phase. So it’s best you either agree to disagree or you try all the things together.

My granddaughter started teething at 2 mo. As soon as she started with the drooling and fussiness I bought her an amber teething necklace. Worked wonders.

That baby’s too small to self sooth, different story when they’re 6+ months, comfort that baba.

Babies can’t talk so they communicate by crying. So if you already know what he wants like cuddles or to be rocked then just do it and he won’t cry. Problem solved. Babies grow so fast just love them up while they want the attention lol.

Is he crying around the same time every night ?

Maybe he is looking for a feed?
Check his nappy?
Wind?

I send my husband to sleep to the couch because honestly my baby was first… He cried a lot at night, so, i just started feeding,singing and talking to him until the time he was ready to go to sleep. He wont be a baby for a long time. :blush:

Mine cried I swear to god for the first 6-8 months he’ll be three this year and he rarely whines or cries now hes just crazy and loves to dance

Babies cry when they need something. They cant be like “hey mom, I’m hungry, can I please have some milk?” Or “I’m lonely and need a cuddle, because I spent the last 10 months hearing your heartbeat and now its silent and cold and hard” pick the baby up. 2 months is too young to let them cry it out, they are only crying because of a need at that age.

Mmkay. Yes the general consensus is that babies cry to communicate whats wrong.
They could also be hungrier/cluster feeding, cutting a tooth, needing those extra 5 minutes of snuggles, coulf be wet/dirty diaper. There is a laundry list of things that baby could need. Fighting about the baby crying doesn’t do shit. Some mamas do the cry it out method. Some dont. Each baby is unique. Do what your instincts tell you to do.

When my son was young and I was struggling, my mom used to say to me… he’s only 60 days old. He’s only been here for 60 days.
It really grounded me on how much love and support this little human needed to thrive. 2 months is not a long time to be in this world!!

Please don’t get frustrated when your sweet baby cries. You will miss it. I think maybe your husband needs to realize that is the only way they can communicate. And I personally think babies can feel the aura. And if y’all are frustrated then he might be too. I’ve always believed that and it might be dumb. But for me I feel like when I have calmed down so did my baby

My daughter cried at the same time every night for a long period of time because she was colicky. It was stressful for my husband and I I since we were first time parents. Also, babies cry and coo to communicate because they can’t talk. Don’t get frustrated because your baby can pick up on that.

He might be hungry? He feels tension? He wants cuddles? Etc.
