Crying is how they communicate. Maybe baby doesn’t feel well, or even that young they can start to even teeth, or maybe it’s colic? Baby isn’t going to sleep through the night. What are your husband expectations anyway? I used to sleep in another room with my baby cuz my first husband didn’t want to be bothered by our babies. I’m glad I’m no longer with him and his stupid expectations that conformed to only him.
Babies cry . That’s what they do. They cry for a reason .my second eldest did that when she was that age. Turned out to be gas, And I had to which formula
Some people just aren’t meant to be a parent and it’s showing. Does he expect your 2 month old to speak already? Tell him to grow up and be a dad or fuck off. Babies cry, he can get over himself.
Tell him goodbye then!! He’s stressing you out and you don’t need it bc your stressed the baby is crying!!! Did he not know babies cry before you got pregnant or did he think they only cry during the day?? Umm no wishful thinking! Babies make their own schedule and we have to adjust!!
You get up hold him feed him change him and give him all the loves till he falls asleep. Do not ignore your baby crying
Babies cry all different. If your husband don’t like baby crying y don’t u go downstairs take yourself away from him baby probably can sense the tension. Loook after your baby husband can look after himself.
Me and my husband have a 2 month old he would never fight over her crying or he would be crying lol
Well I’m sorry but your husbands an idiot. Babies cry. Tel him to get off HIS ass and help
Is this your first? My two girls were awesome babies that only cried when they needed something. My last kid is my boy who just turned 4 month and he flips the fuck out cries! My two girls would cry but eventually stop on their own or soothe themselves to sleep or whatever the case was but this last kid is a nightmare that screams til he cant breath and turns red! It’s been hard to say the least
Babies rarely stay in a permanent sleep schedule, did nobody tell him babies aren’t easy? Also don’t leave your baby to cry they only want you and that’s both of you because most dad’s seem to think all the hard stuff falls to the mum so make sure he keeps his shit together and pulls his weight, men are more work than the baby trust
But that’s what babies do cry! and we’re never gonna know why, so he needs to put his big boy undies on and help figure it out! baby could be cold, hot, hungry, wet, or just needs cuddles.
Babies cry. It’s the way they communicate. My newest little one is 4 months old. She’s still awake multiple times each night to nurse. She has days that she’s fussier than others and it may take a little longer to figure out what’s wrong or how to soothe her but I would think trade it for the world. I have 3 much older kids so I know this phase will be over long before I’m ready.
To.me it’s scary your husband is angry and fighting with you over a newborn baby, being a newborn. Does he prevent you from taking care of your baby when he cries at night ??? Bc that’s what it sounds like and that’s abuse
Just hold and comfort baby. I have a 3 month old and she goes through bouts of this from time to time. And sometimes she just wants mommy. Ours has been teething since 2 1/2 months even though teeth aren’t expected for a while. Hold that baby and kick your hubs to the couch where he doesn’t have to hear it
When my babies cried, I picked them up. My husband was the same way. It was always me that got up with them. He’d let them cry it out. I never could. I did attachment parenting despite my husbands protests.
Wait til toddler tantrums
He is so new, itll get better. He just wants the comfort of what the womb felt like. My husband and I slept apart when ours was brand new, the baby just wanted my boobs so hubby couldnt help anyways… This helped us too:
If they’re not hungry or dirty then they are sleepy let them cry it out because you pick them up every time they cry then they will just continue to cry more
If he cries then good him, comfort him, love him and try to find out if he needs something. Babies cry for all kinds of reasons and he is still an infant. It sounds like the husband is being there bigger baby and if he can’t handle this then he is going to be in real trouble when all the other stages kick in
Babies cry… they can’t talk, so how else are they supposed to communicate… our first born had colic the first 3 months… she cried nonstop… my husband and I ran “shifts” to take care of her and get sleep… if it’s such a problem for him, both of you visit a doctor and let the doctor tell him what’s going on and what’s normal… men sometimes just don’t take women seriously, but will take a doctor seriously…good luck
He maybe crying bc he is teething
Tf is wrong with your husband. Sorry, but that’s just so stupid it hurts my head. Babies cry to communicate with you. If he doesn’t like it, he can take his ass downstairs and go to bed.
Uhh newborns, toddlers, children, teens… They all cry and go through different stages. Sorry but if your husband didnt think the baby would cry, you have bigger problems. Hold the baby, read up on sleep training, ask a friend or family member to help if you’re feeling overwhelmed and if your husband is incapable of helping.
He’s 2 months old for god sake if he can’t handle crying I suggest he moves out it gets better then the toddler tantrums hit my daughters 5 and she’s worse now then when she was a baby. Trust me baby days are easy compared
Your sweet baby will get more worked up if there is yelling. My son started teething at 2 months which caused an increase in crying. Try putting a cold wash cloth on his gums and see if he seems to settle from that, then you will know if it’s teething. If not he may just want mommy more right now. I know its hard and can be frustrating but crying is all they know. Now for your husband, tell him to chill. It’s okay that the baby is crying babies change through growth you just have to learn what works and what doesn’t. My son is 9 months now and is becoming more independent so enjoy these moments when your sweetie needs you. Good luck
What do you mean by y’all disagree on what to do when he cries?
This seems like a red flag. Who gets mad at a 2 month old baby for crying at night?! That’s what they do.
Tell your husband to shut up…please dont put a grown man first…put that helpless innocent baby first…your husband is a selfish man… you should seriously think long and hard at what his doing…he complains again tell the doctor than if you think ur husband is in the right
Comfort your child and tell your husband to mind his business
Babies cry. He should know this.
I had a single bed in my nursery when I had my 3 boys… my husband worked a lot of hours and needed to sleep so if my baby was colicky., teething whatever… I slept in the nursery with him… they grow up super fast so just figure it out… he’s your number one priority right now…
Wtf babies cry!!
For many different reasons, they do not know how to communicate!
I would lose my shit on a mf bitching about our Baby crying.
Should have thought of the about that before you created the baby if he didn’t like crying and babies.
These are the men and people that beat their kids because they think they should be well behaved little mini people as toddlers. Babies and children aren’t meant to behave there haven’t learned that yet.
Being angry and starting fights over a crying baby is also a big red flag.
Tell your husband to FO babies cry… a lot. It is the only form of communication, pick him up love him make sure he’s comfortable dry and full. He may just want loves
Witching hours at night are normal. Babies just get tired from all the stimulation throughout the day. Crying also peaks around week 6 which is right around where your LO would be at. It’s also completely normal to begin to realize differences in communication and parenting styles and ways to work through them. Try to be kind to each other newborn stage is HARD! My piece of advice to new parents is to try your best to take a date night around this time if at all possible. Don’t worry Mama you’ll all figure it out
I’m just curious as to where your hubby thinks babies arent supposed to cry??
If you husband wanted something that didnt make noise maybe he shouldve said lets get a gold fish instead of a baby… they cry they have no other means of communication. They cry when their tired, hungry, diapers full and sometimes my guy cries just because he can even though now at 5 months weve moved onto very very loud screeching… I would seriously go to therapy and get your husband some help and have a serious come to jesus about what to expect with a baby.
Go hold your baby you’ll regret it if you don’t. You’re husband is broken get a new one
Babies cry. They cry for comfort, the cry for hunger, they cry because they’re babies and they don’t understand why they’re alone.
Your husband sounds like the cry baby. if he can’t handle a newborn crying, which is what your 2 month old is then he shouldn’t have one. Babies cry, for xy&z reasons. You comfort them, it’s literally that simple.
What is it with men being bigger babies than actual babies? Lol
This is a 2 month old. What is he supposed to do? Tell you when something is wrong? Hes a baby and they cry and they have every right to cry. Tell him to suck it up because they cry for a few more years
These situations should have been talked about before the child was born. Babies cry and if you are arguing and fighting the baby will sense it and start to become more fussy. Seriously babies cry good luck during terrible 2 and 3 and 4 and then teenage years.
Babies never cry for no reason. Even if they are simply seeking comfort, give it to them. There is no such thing as spoiling a baby! Picking up your baby and having cuddles etc DOESNT cause they to become fussier or clingy! Ignoring a crying baby can affect their mental health long term, hence the phrase that psycho’s and serial killers “weren’t hugged enough as a baby”
Hug your baby! If your husband doesn’t want to be apart of it then tell him to sit down and shut up! Don’t ever let anyone tell you how to mother your own baby! You know best. Love your child!
Your husband is an insensitive moron. Your baby is 2 months old ffs.
Well hate to say it but the crying wont stop until they are in college.
Get rid of husband. Problem solved ! Babies take a lot of patience.
Look your husband in the eyes and say a grown man like yourself shouldnt whine at night.how does that feel huh
Toss the husband out.
Babies communicate through crying.
Maybe he should grow some knowledge and buy some ear plugs.
Baby’s only form of communication is crying. I’d be worried If baby didnt cry.
Your husband is being an idiot. You don’t just get to put the baby to bed and they sleep all night. Babies cry for lots of reasons:hungry, soiled diapers, teeth pain, sick, hair wrapped around finger/toe, woke itself up, room too hot, and the list goes on. That man needs a parenting class. You two are not going to make it if you are fighting 2 months in like that.
Is he getting frustrated with the crying ? Have a conversation about it be sure nothing stressful adding to it
All these ppl saying tell ur husband to shut up are immature. If this is their first baby he is confused and never dealt with one!
Babies cry but also if they cry they obviously need something. Try learning your babies sleep cycle. Maybe your baby is overly tired and needs an earlier bed time? I noticed with my baby girl she would have nights where she was crying none stop for an hour before she would pass out. I would never let her cry it out, I held her and held her until she calmed down. Then I would swaddle her and she fell asleep.
Message me if you would like to chat
There is no such thing as spoiling a baby. Your only job as parents is to give that baby every comfort it needs… him included. I’d be hard pressed not to kick your husband out because he sounds more like a whiny baby than your 2 month old
Well for starters, you’re husband should realize he is 2 months old. He isn’t very old yet and is still figuring out this life outside the womb type of thing. They also express through crying what their needs and wants are. Do you use a swaddle at night? Maybe he feels a disconnection at nights from you. After all he was inside and heard your heart beating every second of his life. Is he in his own room? If so, maybe a noise machine with the soothing mode on? Is his tummy hurting him from laying down after he eats? So so many things could contribute to this, but your husband is sounding pretty immature and spoiled… Not trying to sound rude or anything, but he does need to realize babies needs and baby come before him at this moment as baby depends on you guys to do what he needs to thrive. Babies this young can’t get “spoiled” because this is what they do. They cry to communicate with you. I hate it when people say “your baby is crying so he can get his way and have you hold him”. Of course he wants you to hold and comfort him. So sorry you’re going through that Mama
My son was really fussy and went through a stage where he wanted to be held literally, and I’m not even exaggerating, every second of the day. I couldn’t put him down for not even 5 seconds without him screaming. I constantly reminded myself that he feels safe in my arms. I’m his safe place, the laundry & the dishes can wait & some nights it was ok for my husband to fend dinner for himself. Or make him go get McDonald’s for the 3rd time that week. It was overwhelming, and there was times I definitely put him in his crib for 5 minutes and let him cry so I could go get a breath of fresh air. And when he did sleep for 30 minutes here or 30 minutes there I got what I could get done… I showered, I watched my favorite show. And eventually he grew out of it. He’s almost 2 now & the tantrums have started (over almost everything). Babies are constantly going through changes, they are learning new things all of the time, they have growth pains & teeth pains & gas pains & they have no idea what’s happening, all they know is that they feel better with you… Be patient, take a deep breath, and just remember right now this is their only way of communicating. It took me so long so learn my sons cries, but one day it finally hit me & I knew what each of his cries meant. You’re both still learning, this is all new to you AND him but the ONLY person he knows that will comfort him when he cries is you, he knows YOU, he trusts YOU. This will pass & you will miss it
Your husband is a total moron.
It sounds like you’re both stressed, which is what it really boils down to. He’s probably frustrated he doesn’t get to sleep through the night, or have 1 on 1 time anymore.
To be blunt though, time to grow up. Kids are a big responsibility, and things aren’t going to change anytime soon.
Your baby is still very very young, and reliant on you for everything. Snuggles is the best way. I don’t agree with the cry it out method, but especially now. They’re too little to be crying for no reason, there needs to be a problem.
Babies cry. No matter how much you argue about it, that won’t change. Your man is delusional.
Just listen to him and try his idea. He’s a parent too. I struggle with this also. Sometimes I give in and let my husband tell me why he’s crying and we try to fix it how he suggests. Sometimes he’s right!!!
Babys cries its life and it wont change till 18 and leave house but even then there be some tears
Why are you arguing about a two month old crying? That’s not going to change the two month old crying.
Babies cry. He’s two months old. Comfort your child, he’s just a baby.
Oh boy! I sleep with my baby girl. I did with my boy. My husband still wake up to comfort the baby baby sometimes, even he calls me from the room to make sure I am awake. My lady is 9 months she cries, my almost 4 years old sometimes wake up and cry, I cry, you cry hahahaha . Seriously, babies cry very very normal. Most likely your baby need skin to skin time.
Babies just want cuddles and reassurance, please always go to your baby, the world is a scary place outside of your tummy, your husband needs to understand that babies cry, it is their only way to communicate, your husband really needs to get a grip on reality and the reality of having a baby x
He’s a baby! Lol that’s what they do is cry!
If he didn’t want a crying baby, you guys shouldn’t have had a kid. Babies cry, they get fussy and guess what there’s not much you can do when it happens sometimes.
If baby is bottle fed do liquid not powder.
He’s a baby he’s going to cry, sometimes it might just be to cuddle so pick the baby up. Its perfectly normal it’s how they communicate.
Babies typically cry at that young of age. My husband and I have 1 together “his first” my 4th. He would get frustrated and tell me to let her cry, it drove me crazy bc he would literally stand over her and not let me get her. He realized it was easier for me to soothe her for 5 min then it was to allow her to scream. I think you, and your husband need to sit dwn and come up with a plan of action! Bedtime routine always wrkd for me. A little stimulation, bath and bedtime. However like I mentioned earlier, babies at you’re LO’s age typically cry for many reasons. Best of luck! Reminder: just remember to love One another and communicate
Still a new born… You can’t spoil them at this age… Until about a year they cry they need you for some reason…
If your baby is crying pick him up something isn’t right
I’m beginning to think this page is just trolling us. The questions y’all have posted recently are all absolutely ridiculous
Some people just shouldn’t have babies. This makes me sad
Does your husband not realize that gasp BABIES CRY?! It’s kind of their only means of communication.
Trying singing. But babies cry…a lot. Hubby has to understand that babies aren’t meant to be silent when he wants. No offense…he shouldn’t have kids if he didn’t know this is what happens.
If he thinks you’re not doing it right, tell him to get TF up to bub
My son is a month old. He has days where he just wants to be held. I dropped everything to just cuddle with him. I’m his safe place.
Babies cry and yes its stressful but things will get easier.
Tell him to go with you to the sons doctor appointments. Let the doctor tell him just how stupid he is for not thinking that the baby should be crying.
The most commonly known bit of information about babies is that they cry. We have phases “crying like a baby”.
No offense, but your husband isn’t very bright.
Babies cry. They need their parents. They’re new to this world. You’re new to being a parent. This is all apart of it and should have been expected.
This shouldn’t be an argument. Your baby needs you. A feeding, diaper change, a cuddle, they’re warm, they’re cold, they have gas, they’re teething.
THEY DO NOT KNOW WORDS. When they need to tell you something, they cry.
Get a swing for him lol
I have 6 crying kids on the daily… Combined with sick kids, cooking, cleaning and feeding a nb every 2 hours. Some people aren’t ready or good at parenting. Babies abd kids cry. Try having a baby with colic. Sounds like hubby needs to get the boot!
Your husband’s not too bright.
If your baby needs comfort go ahead and comfort them you only have so long before they out grow hugs and kisses. I recently left my daughters dad for numerous reasons but one main one was he was always yelling at her she’s only 2 and he said she needed to grow up that shouldn’t be wanting to sit with me all the time etc you know what I have an 11 year old son and know it goes by fast so I let her snuggle with me sit with me etc enjoy it while it lasts. And babies cry, I mean you still cry sometimes right? That’s the only way baby can communicate seriously
Why is this rocket science? Babies- especially newborn babies- cry. Duh. Couple geniuses
PICK UP YOUR BABY!
He’s 2 months old ffs. It’s called the third trimester for a reason. All he knows is the comfort and warmth of mom. You can’t spoil a baby with love, in fact studies have shown that the more babies are held, the better it is for their brain development… even 20 years later the subjects who were held more in the first weeks of life were less aggressive, and had higher IQs. Crying for long periods raises cortisol in the brain, and too much cortisol can cause negative effects on brain development.

I don’t support CIO for many other reasons, but even those who take people’s money to sleep train their babies say that is too young. Babies cry for many reasons like hunger, their diaper is wet, they just need comfort. If the crying eventually becomes so frequent that you aren’t getting any sleep at night, there are safe ways to co-sleep, or ask for help from someone who doesn’t believe in ignoring a baby’s only form of communication.
Responding to your baby creates secure attachment:
“Children who are securely attached to their parents are more likely to:
-Be able to cope well with stress
-Have satisfying relationships
-Have healthy self-esteem
-Have good mental health
-Reach their full intellectual potential
-Have fewer behavioural problems
-Have fewer discipline problems
-Have fewer problems separating from parents when it is developmentally appropriate.
Babies become distressed if left to cry alone, and this can precipitate negative long term psychological consequences if done repeatedly. The quality of the parent-infant relationship can be enhanced when professionals encourage parents to view their babies’ crying as a sign that they are upset and in need of the parent.”

Give him a bottle, make sure u barb him, some babies just want i to hold him
When your baby cries he needs something. That is the only way he can vocalize. . As for your a****** husband. I would ask him what’s worst his inability to understand. The Unstoppable unhelpable cries of a 2 month old or his continuous bitching and inability Do you understand why he is ignorant enough not to understand the needs of his own child. Tell his ass to shut up. Sounds like this guy needs some parenting courses. He’s pretty self-centered and selfish. Not to mention, he seems like the type of person who would hurt a child just to shut them up.
Use your motherly intuition. If you feel he needs to be held…hold him. He’s only going to be this little once. Get your husband some ear plugs and love and hold your baby as much as you can. You never know what tomorrow may bring.
Comfort your baby. I’m not even sorry. Your baby needs you. If your husband doesnt agree he can go watch TV or whatever let you tend to the baby instead of arguing about it. That helps nothing
Cuddle that baby & tell your husband to kick rocks
Slap your husband in the head and tell him to cop the fuck on that ALL babies cry
When your baby is 27 yrs old going and getting in a squad car and putting his life on the line to save others you will wish you could still hold them tell him that and to grow a pair and be a man .
Tell him he’s an ass and arguing doesn’t help baby’s stress. Babies feel tension from parents. Maybe your hubby needs to grow up. Tell him to help comfort him, bind with him or stfu and deal with it. He helped create the little person, he seriously needs to research. Smh.
Babies cry…some cry more than others but it is completely natural and sometimes there isn’t anything you can do to soothe them. My first of 4 was extremely colicky and would cry from 5pm till midnight HARD for months, nothing helped her and she screamed at the top of her lungs. Some days they may be content and other days they may scream all dang day and night…babies cry. Your husband just needs to get used to it. Expecting a baby to not cry is unrealistic.
Babies are supposed to cry. What’s your husband’s excuse?
Ummm he’s two months old. That’s what they do.
Your hubby is wrong,and should know better.Babies cry cause they can’t talk.If your son could he’d say daddy is acting stupid
Your husband needs to take a few child development & parenting classes. He also needs to swift kick in the butt. Babies cry. That’s how they communicates their needs. They also need comfort. You know this. Your husband needs to learn it. Also arguing around baby will make him cry more. So tell him if he can’t handle being a father to hit the road.
Every baby is different and they change every month. Tell your man to cool it down and take his stress out on something else. You both might just need a date night or something fun to get your mind off tense situations
A two month old is typically gonna cry at night to ear several times, they don’t know day from night. He misses you. My kids did not sleep in their own room at two months.
You are the babies comfort right now . They just came into this mess of a world and have no idea what’s going on . They depend on mama .
If your baby is formula fed, have you tried switching to Gentlease. This help my son a lot he wasn’t so fussy
You both fight over a crying baby? Wth ! That’s how babys communicate to get what they need. Tell your husband stop his ball bagging he can care for himself yet sounds selfish and jealous. My daughter just turned 3 weeks old and shes up every 2 to 3 hours…so around 2 months maybe you got a schedule but babys wake up and when they need something or are scared they cry.
