Is it normal for my baby to cry every bed and nap time

Every time I put my 6 and a half month old daughter to bed or for a nap she cries for at least 5 to ten mins before going to sleep its not just whimpering its proper screaming crying. Before bed she has gets changed, happy change and bottle in the bed room every night. We did the pick up put down method with her and I though she would eventually stop crying but she never has

    Don't you hate it when people interrupt you chatting to yourself? So f#ing god damn rude! They wouldn't interrupt if you were talking to a second person, but it seems ok to interrupt me having a good old yak to myself or laugh at my own joke.

    Babys get to a stage where everything becomes VERY interesting and they know they are about to go to sleep, so they fight it with all their might(LOL)They dont want to miss anything! I cuddle all mine to sleep.

    I almost forgot. Don't try to be quiet when she sleeps, or she will wake at the slightest sound as gets older, this will be very difficult when you put her down in others' homes or if your hosting a get-together. It will also set the stage for her to become a light sleeper when she's older, which could keep her from getting a good night's rest when she needs it.

    When you put her down, leave the room. Yes, she will cry. Yes it will break your heart. Make this your routine, & as she gets older, she will stop crying when she lays down. Don't give a bottle, or rock her to sleep. I know it sounds mean, but babies adapt to the routines & environments you create. That is how they learn. If you start a routine that's easy for you now, you won't be stuck pulling your hair out when she's two and doesn't want to go to bed. Trust me. I have 7yr old twins. Also, the bottle thing serves another purpose. When her teeth start growing, letting her sleep w/a bottle will cause plaque build up and eventually, tooth decay. Just ask your friends who have toddlers with silver caps on there front teeth. Remember be strong now, and your child will be stronger later.

  • All babies that young do that, they just wanna stay close to someone and when you put her down she probably thinks your leaving her.
    Lucky bastard, babies are adorable!
