Let newborn cry it out?

Question

My baby coos and makes a lot of little noises when I try and put him to bed. Lots of ughs. I always check on him but my husband wants us to let him do his thing because he said he eventually settles. Sometimes it becomes crying and I go to him and other times he eventually falls asleep. Thoughts? It’s so hard to hear him make noises and not run to him. I’m a new mom.

Answer

I wouldn’t call this “cry it out”, newborns are the noisiest little humans I’ve ever seen ha my baby constantly grunted and made noises while he slept. I only picked him up when he actually cried. I wouldn’t let a newborn actually cry for more than 30 seconds though.

Answer

No because newborns arent developmentally able to self soothe or regulate their emotions yet. Its one of the reasons sleep training isnt recommended until 6 months. Letting newborns cry it out is more harmful than beneficial. If it needs to happen for a few minutes to get your sanity thats one thing but

Answer

Follow your instincts! Your baby know what he needs and that’s you. Don’t listen to your husband.

Answer

Crying it out should be for babies 6 months and up.

Answer

Newborn? Um no. Newborns don’t sleep for long as it is. They’re up every few hours to feed as is too. Letting a newborn “cry it out” is completely pointless.

Answer

I always check on my baby when he starts grunting and making noises but never actually bother him or pick him up unless he crys. Sometimes its because he spit up so that's definitely something you want to check on to make sure they are ok. Sometimes he just dropped his pacifier and just wants it back in his mouth. It doesn't hurt to check on them.

Answer

I usually don’t pick my baby up unless it’s an actual cry. He makes some noises here and there which he can settle after so I don’t worry about it. But if he’s crying absolutely pick him up.

Answer

If he’s making his poop sounds with some cries mixed in I just let him be, but I can usually tell if he’s about to start crying. The longest I let him cry is long enough for me to make a bottle

Answer

I let my daughter grunt and make sounds and not lick her up. The app itself told me babies move around and make sounds and still r sleeping like a baby. However if she starts crying I give her a few min. Sometimes she puts herself back to sleep and other times it’s time to feed her. I heard they can’t self soothe at this age and they don’t understand but a few min in my opinion is giving her the chance to sleep longer if she wants.

Answer

The newborn chatting in bed in fine. Crying it out this early isn’t recommended.
