OK, it has been a rougher day today and it mostly stems from not knowing what Ella wants from us.
She cries out and we check the diaper. Once that is changed and she is still crying out, it means she is hungry or gassy. If she's still crying out after that, we are at a loss. This is where we landed today.
We kept going through the checklist. Fed? Yes. Changed? Yes. Burped? Yes.
We did discover another one tonight. She was fussing in her bed and grandpa Dean went in to check on her. He came out with a new friend. She just wanted to be held and be around people.
Every day is a learning experience. Good thing Kristal practically has high aptitude for language acquisition. She can eventually tell me what Ella needs.

I *told* you about the I'm Lonely cry!!
ReplyDeleteYes, you did. But it sounded to me a lot like to "I want more of what mommy has" cry.
ReplyDeleteTrying to figure out what babies want can sometimes be very hard. We did learn Ayla's cries, but what happenes when the cry is none of them you have learned? Ayla cried for about three hours everynight for a month when she was young. It was horrible. We tried everything and nothing worked. I think it honestly was a phase we had to get through. Good luck figuring it all out. Just know you guys are not the only ones.
