Leave baby crying?

Question

Baby girl wont stop crying for the past two hours so I put her down and walked away for few minutes  anyone else do that ?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes. And that is ok. I don’t leave him alone for long, but sometimes I need to compose myself, which means stepping away.

Answer

How old is the baby? If she’s a newborn then I wouldn’t leave to cry longer than a few minutes. They are crying for a purpose(the purpose isn’t to make u mad or frustrate you), they need you-even just to smell u or feel comfort.

Answer

In my opinion you handled it perfectly. A crying baby can be overwhelming especially when you can't figure out the reason. 
A quick break to re-group is the best thing you can do for both you and baby.
A crying baby that won't stop crying cause frustration and you don't want to take that frustration out on the baby

Answer

Yes! If you’re feeling overwhelmed you need to take a minute for yourself. Put baby in a safe place and go in another room to decompress. Your mental health is just as important as your baby.

Answer

Yes it is absolutely okay to put baby down in a safe place and take a moment to collect yourself. I hope you have some support to give you a break as caring for babies (especially ones who tend to cry for long periods on end) is incredibly exhausting!

Answer

Echoing others here. This is absolutely okay and a healthy choice. When you are feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, taking a moment to breathe and regroup is the smart choice.

Answer

Is she gassy? I understand you may have needed to walk away to get yourself together, but did you figure out why she’s so fussy?

Answer

Yes. When you set her down, try running the vacuum. See if that helps her calm down.

Answer

I was colicky as a baby and my mom was told it’s absolutely okay to leave me cry for a few minutes, so long as I was fed, changed, and in a safe location. The ped even told my mom to go outside to the mailbox if she was that overwhelmed. She told me she definitely did that a few times but I know she never left me for more than 5-7 minutes. Good luck mama, it will get better!

Answer

For a few minutes definitely. Not for any longer than that. Sometimes it’s best for you to gather yourself for a few minutes.  She will be okay. But her crying non stop for two hours, how old is she? She could have a belly ache, still be hungry, teething, colic.
