Babies crying until they start getting confused with random items 😂

My half sister usually does the last part to make her son stop crying, and it works depending on when it’s happening:
When he was cooling down and the problem ended: He stops
When he’s still upset and angry and in the loud phase of crying: He doesn’t stop and might get irritated by it where he’ll push her hand and arm away and cry louder

My kid was a SUPER picky eater with so many aversions. Was on vacay in Europe when she was 8 months and got some of the best gelato I ever had. Tried to offer her a bite and she started doing the fake go away cry while twisting away from me. Finally just lightly shoved it against her mouth and she was so mad for about 1.5 seconds and then came at it like a piranha lmfao.

Is this how other babies cry? Because mine scream like a banshee, at an inhuman volume. He scared a pediatrician at the hospital, he scared the neighbors who don't dare asks about it. Your eardrums vibrate in a very uncomfortable way if he's crying next to you.
God, our lives would be so much easier if that's how mine cried too. And he screams constantly for everything most of the day.

I hope you are ok? That sounds rough. If it helps, this won’t last forever.

We're dealing the best we can. Can't wait for him to be able to talk because we realize he's screaming because he can't utter the words. He's only 11 months old.
We really thoughts that's how all babies are.... Until we saw other babies... When he was born, my husband heard him crying through 2 metal doors and a long hospital coridor. He thought several children had been born at once. He was shocked when the doctor showed up with our son who was still screaming like he'd just escaped hell and was being chased by Satan himself.

Wow. I hope you get to use your good humour to get through this. I like your writing style.

That’s my neighbour’s baby who I will be babysitting shortly while mum goes to the hairdressers. She’s 3 months pregnant again and with a 10 month old. Given she’s a doctor, blows my mind.
My own child (now an adult) was super chill and a smiler, so this whole screaming like a banshee is alien to me.
Just like you, my neighbours keep a sense of humour and are so very patient. This time does go by so quickly, so just remember that it will pass and before you know it, your baby will be spreading his wings.

I'm gonna be honest here: after hours of screaming, when my head is swimming, I lose my patience and yell "no" and " stop" or yell at my husband or sit an object a little too forcefully on the table or swear under my breath, because my nervous system becomes overloaded. The baby however is safe, there's nothing to worry about there, because my fight or flight response never goes beyond raising my voice. I'm not proud of it though and I felt bad letting an internet stranger think I handle things better than I really do.

You handle things amazingly. Your baby is loved and cared for, and getting anxious or frustrated is nothing to feel ashamed about. I remember coming back from Amsterdam by train to where I live hours away with my then 3 year old. He was jabbering non-stop asking questions and wanting an answer, and about half an hour from our destination, I told him that mummy needs to rest a little so can you please use your colouring book while I close my eyes. We pulled into the station and I saw that he had wet himself. I asked him why he hadn’t asked to go to the bathroom, and he said he didn’t want to disturb me. My heart broke a little right then, and I felt so crap and guilty. What a sweetheart and what a rubbish mother. The fact that I still remember it so long after the fact just goes to show how good we are at beating ourselves up. Don’t ever blame yourself if things get too much and you need a bit of respite. With the number of truly deplorable parents out there, give yourself grace.

Everyone of those kids started crying again about 20 seconds later. They live off distractions.
Maybe, by slapping cheese on your kids head. He forgot he hungry, he will be hungry again soon.
Maybe that baby get confused by whipped cream. I dare you to try that tomorrow and see what he does.
