Bad mom?

Question

Ever since my son turned 6 months he has actually has crying fits where nothing I do to try to help (feed him, cuddle, hold him) helps calm him. I'll set him in his bed and he will cry/fuss for probably less than 10 minutes at the least.

Was he tired? Or did he just tire himself out by crying lol. 
Am I a bad mom?

Answer

First things first. YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOTHER AT ALL. Don't ever think that. It could be anything. Teething usually answers for a lot at this age so just keep an eye on the gums. Maybe your little one just felt a little over tired or a little bit off. We all feel a bit off sometimes it's just human nature but you're not a bad mother so please don't put yourself down.

Answer

Ooh I bet he is gassy or teething. My baby girl cried a lot for two months. I tried so hard to soothe her. Guess what worked? Leaving her in the dark in her bouncer with the hair dryer going. I felt so awful doing that. But she loved it!!! Anyways if he is ctutting teeth look online for an amber teething necklace. Worked wonders on my babe xx

Answer

Is good to let a baby cry sometimes. As long as its not because they need something then a good cry out is okay from time to time.

Answer

Is he cutting teeth by any chance?

Answer

Probably a mixture of both. He might have some reflux issues or something may hurt that you can't see. But babies cry. Babies cry because they can't use words to describe their sadness, frustration, pain, etc.  I'd bring it up to your pediatrician. It could just be nothing but it's something to look into. And no, you're not a bad mom!! If you're trying to fix something and it's not helping, at least you're trying your hardest to fix it. But seriously, I would ask your pediatrician just in case. Good luck!!! It's tough!
