If your baby s crying gets worse with feeding, do not try to force the feeding. If you are concerned that your baby does not get enough to eat, you should discuss this with your pediatrician, who may suggest bringing your baby in for a weight and growth check. Check if your baby's nose is blocked while trying to eat. Certain foods eaten by a mother may change the taste of her breast milk , and breast feeding mothers may want to try cutting back on chocolate, onions, garlic, cabbage or caffeinated drinks. Breast milk may also temporarily dry up from emotional distress, physical illness or lack of drinking or eating by a mother.
Many babies insist upon a routine.
For these babies, try to have as regular a schedule as possible, including feeding, bathing, diaper changings, outings and bedtime. Be consistent with routines, and even the things you use to soothe your baby when he or she cries. Other babies seem to calm with changes. If your baby has been lying in one position for some time and begins crying, try a new position. Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes to calm these babies.
