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

Your husband sounds like he knows nothing about babies

Pick him up give him cuddles love and affection ect you cannot spoil a baby with love and affection at that age you’re husband is wrong there is no need to argue over the situation baby comes first and that’s that I definitely would not listen to anyone who said a baby shouldn’t cry or cries to much or whatever what did he expect a baby to do he sounds very selfish

When a baby cries it’s trying to tell you something maybe a nappy change or feeding, babies cry is their only communication, also instinct needs to be near you remember for nine months you carried him safely in your tummy he heard your heartbeat regularly now he doesn’t hear that, so he is not fussy, he is trying to be close most tiny babies don’t sleep all night, I don t believe you spoil babies when you pick them up , they need you both close, he may have trapped wind. But babies cry 24/7 , hard work being a parent but enjoy every minute cos they grow up too fast .

there is a thing called PURPLE Crying . starting from about 2 wks of age thru about 6 months, I use to call it , when my daughter was this age, her period of boredom, she really couldn’t reach anything if she tried getting it, if she had anything in her hand & it would fall. She would cry. But once she was able to hold things better, she was able to lay on her belly or on her back & interact with things,…things got better. When my son was bon, she entertained him, so no problems with him. But one MUST make sure nothing else is going on. If being picked up helps quiet them, if riding in the car also makes them quiet, it could be this. But also a baby can cry if they have a nice gas bubble, or they are not feeling well, or other problems. But if the car, or holding them helps, it could be this period of time,

Kick yo husband and go hug that baby if thats what you wanna do

My twins are almost two. If they cry at night, I still comfort them. If a two month old is crying at night, it’s either wet, uncomfortable or hungry. All super normal and common. Two month olds usually still need to eat in the middle of the night. Make an appointment with the pediatrician and have him come to the appointment and ask the pediatrician himself if it’s normal.

Babies cry. Its for a reason. Its really as simple as that. Tell ur husband to grow up

If I was in your shoes my man would be on the sofa till he got his head round the fact babies cry some cry occasionally some cry all the time and the sooner he gets used to it the better if he can’t tell him to leave cause he just sounds a bit like a bully to me it would be different if maybe your. Kid was a lot older and was crying through the night but baby is only two months tell him to get a grip of sleep on the sofa

Your husband is a jerk and totally wrong. My son (who is now 1year and 1month old) didn’t start sleeping through the night until he was like 6/7months old. It is NORMAL for a little one to cry.

You go pick up your baby and comfort him. Hes a baby. They cry. They cry bc they need something ans have no other means of telling you.
Ill never understand not comforting (or being upset at your partner for comforting) a cry baby. My kid could be 100yo and if she cries ill hold her bc thats my job as her mother. To be her safe place, where she can cry and yell and get all that badness out

Babies cry. Tell him to shut the fuck up and either cradle the baby or let you… But either way shut his idiot mouth. :roll_eyes:

You and your husband should take parenting classes. If you wanted a baby that doesn’t cry you should have bought a doll instead of getting pregnant. Yes some babies are really good and don’t cry much but if you both are are irritated with him he can feel that. I just hope you comfort him and do not become irritable with the baby because your husband is being a baby.

How old are you two? Did you especially him tho not realize babies cry? Some waaayy more than others…
You 2 need parenting classes.
He needs to hold the baby too & comfort baby. Dads warmth & love is just as important as moms. My husband has a full time job, & he has always gotten up at night for diaper changes, my kids have been breastfed so I’d feed, but hed hold them rock them comfort them & let me sleep, especially at 2 months old, cuz ya know he saw how hard pregnancy is & he saw me push his kids out my vagina & all the work I put in, so he told me the least I can do is change diapers, & hold them feed them.
Its called being a dad.

You cant “baby” a baby as they say.

Newborns typically cry because they need something. They are not able to cry just to “get their way” till about 4 months when they are learning cause and effect.

My daughter’s two and we still have nights where she cries out of the blue, whether she’s teething or sick or just not in a good mood. Babies cry and we have to comfort them and do what we can to make it better :two_hearts:

Most 2 month olds don’t sleep through the night!! Tell hubby that babies possibly don’t sleep through the night for YEARS, so he better buckle up cuz it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. A baby can’t “tell” you what they want…to be fed, held, changed, etc. and yes it could be growth spurts, or even teething. My daughter was teething at 2 1/2 months…just when we were getting into a schedule and used to how it was all working for all of us. My daughter is now 3 and 99% of the time sleeps through the night with the exception of when she’s sick. Good luck Mama and tell your husband he needs to man up a lil bit!!

Sounds like parenting classes are required so Dad has a realistic understanding of what to expect.

At that age they need to be fed once atleast in 4 hours. It would be high at growth stages. Baby crying at night is very common and as parents you should plan accordingly. We did like I take 2 hours to take care of the baby and husband 2 hours while I am at sleep. Baby was completely on breast so I pump my milk through morning and keep it hand for SO to feed. Baby sleeps almost 2 hours where we both sleep. If not again the cycle repeats.

My oldest daughter had colic around that age, could be that. Also, my son at that age wasn’t completely satisfied with his formula and would cry and want to eat every hour and a half day and night. I started giving him just a very small amount of cereal (very thin like formula) at night (recommended by pediatrician ) and that did the trick.

Probably more feeding

Be careful with your baby, if he wants to be comforted you should be comforting him. Babies cry when they need something especially in the early months. Your baby is still at risk for SIDS until they are past the 6 month mark- nighttime care needs to matter.

He feels the tension in ur home

Keep in mind. You can’t “spoil” a baby in the first year of life. They cry because they have a “need” that they need met. They aren’t crying to throw a tantrum. Babies will cry. Whether it will be for comfort, food, a wet diaper, tired, and lots of other reasons. If its an issue that much go to the doctors and have your hubby tag along with to ask these questions.

Some Men just suck!! i can relate.

Cuddle and hold the baby he only small once. Not spoiling he wants his momma or someone to hold him

You’re a mother. We have instincts. They don’t. Do what your gut tell you to do. Do what you feel is right. Be more secure in your mothering. Don’t let him make you feel bad.

Wow, slap him upside the head and tell him to stfu. For crying out loud he’s an infant and sometimes they just want to cry. Maybe the baby is picking up on the dad’s jealousy which will serve that poor sensitive man you have. You do your job and love on that baby like all mommy’s should.

As parents raising children together it should never be one sided with responsibilities, if he doesn’t like that the baby cries then he can tend to the baby. Fighting isn’t going to get you any where. Both of you need to come together and discuss your thoughts , feelings and concerns and work out a way to compromise to meet the babies needs. Parenting isn’t easy but it sure is worth it. Patience Will get you far here. Your both probably exhausted and kranky so lashing out at each other makes sense. If you can nap when the baby does that will help. Bathing the baby in lavender scented baby wash before bed , and a nice warm bottle as to have a full belly before bed will help the baby sleep.

Sounds like y’all both need a parenting class. Babies cry. Babies need love. Fighting over a crying baby? Sounds a little ridiculous.

Girl i am 20 yrs old and still wake up some nights and cry.
Thats a baby. They cry. Its the only way they know joe to communicate. And im telling you not all banies sleep through yhe night at 2 months old. Most still wake up at least once for a bottle.
Plus i know lizi would cru if she wasnt either in my arms or where she could physically see me and reach out to touch me. And yes some days i just needed a break(all moms do). But if my baby cried ecen just because she wanted held i picked her up and held her. And my fiance never once argued w me abt it. And actually a majority of the time hed help me figure out what was wrong and would even get up w her at night so i wouldnt hace too.

Cluster feeding. Feed him more

Hi my baby went through this too she was on formula milk (cow and gate) I switched to the formula for hungry babies same brand c+g this was also around the 2 month old mark

Every baby is different. Your baby isn’t crying to make his parents argue, he’s either cold hot wet hungry or lonely (your baby not your baby husband) don’t ignore this amazing new human’s needs to be held and comforted. When my babies were that young I picked them up if they cried. They are all educated adults and not maladjusted because I did that and I’m glad I did! Your husband is uninformed and needs to do his homework. Babies also can have night terrors. Deal with your infant and tell hubby to grow up and educate himself on baby needs

Wow !!! What kind of a man is that? He is an infant.All babies cry. Thy cry a lot because they get gas because of the milk.He sounds like a bad person.

Hum… babies cry holy your son, he might be scared like holy hannah :neutral_face::roll_eyes:

Your hubby is a d%&k babys cry its what they do. How they communicate. He either has to man up or pack up. And if he makes you feel like picking up your baby is wrong or spoiling him you better off without that man your child comes first

Wow. Babies cry because that’s how they communicate their needs. Teething, tummy aches, growing pains… all that. Sometimes they just want mom. The child is 2 months old, of course he’s gonna cry. Dad fighting with mom about it sure doesn’t help much. Mama, just do what you need to do to soothe your baby boy, and husband can soothe himself and get over it.

My thought is if your baby is not hurt and you know or feel it’s just a cry for cuddles … honestly your always around your baby and dad insist likely is not … so he has no say so !!! My hubby is this way :roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes: drives me nuts cause he thinks he knows it all about our kids and honestly hes been soooooooooo wrong 99.9% of the time lol

You pick your child up and comfort him( feed, change, burp, rock or dance around with him), until he stops crying and goes to sleep! He’s only 2 months old. Your husband is WRONG. The crying will get louder and things will change often with a new baby, I think your gut knows what’s best mama…:two_hearts:

Have his ears checked. Tell the male “B” to stop his crying

My son would not stop crying until he was held for the first 9 months. Couldn’t sleep unless we held him the whole time. Its frustrating but push through and tell your husband to shove it. Good luck :v:

16 years ago when I had my son I struggled bad putting up with his crying,

Wow really… 2 months…hungry,…wet…need comfort…gas…they can’t say hey I need you…show your man these post…he definitely needs a wake up call on life .needs to grow up…
