i've got a 2 week old at home, cute as a button but cries loads.
my wife jumps at any whimper. i know babies take over ur life but whats happening with us is riddiculous.
every single time we sit down to eat she starts, doesnt matter what time of the day. today after she had a long feed she was put down in her cot and went mental. screamed till her whole body turned red. i told my wife to leave her but she's too soft. so i took the bub and as soon as i picked her up she was fine and fell asleep on my chest. when she was in a deep sleep i put her in her bed and she was fine for 2 hours, till the next feed.
my question is, is it wrong to leave a newborn to cry when there is nothing she needs but just wants to permanently be held?
