  • The First Signs of Intelligent Life: Awaken Your Baby's Inner Resources

    by Joseph Garcia

    Communication is one of the first challenges babies encounter. When children begin to communicate, they attempt to arrange in their minds the world around them and begin to understand and react to situations. The child observes and experiments with life to gain knowledge and confidence. Communication plays a critical role in helping the child interact with the world and become socially engaged.

  • Curing Colic: The 4th Trimester

    It makes your skin sweat, your blood pressure climb, and causes great frustration when nothing you do seems to calm them. No wonder, when caring for a crying newborn we've muttered to ourselves, "Why couldn't they just come with a crying off-switch?" Well, perhaps they do and we just overlooked it!

  • Colic

    You may have heard the term colic applied to any baby who cries a great deal. Not all crying babies have colic, but all colicky babies cry and they cry hard. They may stiffen their little bodies, or curl up as if in pain.

  • Your Baby's Crying - What To Do

    A baby only has one way of communicating -- crying. Everything is incredibly new to them, every feeling, every experience. Sometimes, for a new parent, it can be very difficult to work out exactly what your baby is crying about.

  • Crying Baby: Will Picking Her Up Spoil Her?

    Many parents ask if they should pick up their crying baby, concerned that they will spoil the baby if they do. My simple answer is "Yes, pick up and attend to your crying baby". By being responsive to her/his crying, you are letting your baby know that she/he is loved and cared for and that will give her/him security.

  • Colic Will Not Last Forever!

    Almost all babies develop a fussy period. The timing varies, but it usually begins at about three weeks of age and peaks somewhere between four and six weeks of age. For most infants the most intense fussiness is in the evening.

  • How to Calm Your Crying Baby

    A crying baby was never part of our idyllic vision, so this takes us by surprise. But the fact is, all babies cry at one time or another. Understanding why and responding effectively can help you get through this phase. Use the list that follows as a guideline:

  • Does Crying a Lot Hurt My Baby?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I have cried hard a lot during my pregnancy and I would like to know if it will hurt my baby. My husband and I argue a lot. Would that hurt the baby?

    Thank you,
    Claudia

  • Coping with Colic

    All babies cry. Most babies cry a lot. Some babies are more easily comforted, others can routinely work themselves into a frenzy. Of course it sends your heart racing. That's Mother Nature's way of insuring that the human race survives.
