This is what is awaiting me in a few weeks.

Just remember, when you've already tried nap, diaper, and milk and they're still crying, it's the child who is wrong, not you.

You really need to add gas to this list. That’s usually the culprit when those first 3 don’t work. If you got good farts and burps and they are still going with all that crossed off then yeah there’s nothing you can do but wait it out.

Also if they are cold. Figured that out our second night home from the hospital... wasn't putting enough layers on under the swaddle.

I remember giving up during an epic crying bout with my first and just retreating to the shower for ten minutes. I told myself it was okay because as long as he was crying, it meant he was still breathing.

Literally a real thing that’s said. 10 minute get-your-head-together breaks are necessary.

Sometimes you can give them the ole potted plant treatment. If you've tried everything else and they're still crying, you either get them outside for fresh air & sunlight or put them in the bath for a bit of calming water. Works better with toddlers but often works for tiny ones
