Non-Stop Crying Baby

Shameful.

God I hope you are no longer caring for this poor baby. You should be ashamed to call yourself a care giver .
You let the baby CIO for 1 1/2 hours !!!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with you.
Tell the mom you can't take care of the baby as he is to needy/clingy.... Simple!

Stop making this baby suffer because you want the money . There will be plenty more babies along the way that you'll be able to handle.
This is morally wrong on so many levels. Shame on you.

When I had this problem , the mom asked me to nurse her when needed, for comfort and I was ok with it because at the time I was already making extra milk and donating it to her and another baby to begin with. If this happens again, it may sound unconventional, but the baby can be weaned off the breast more gradually this way. I am only suggesting it because I did it and it did work. It didn't take long at all. i know this is an old post but I just wanted to mention that option for those who find themselves in a same situation.

Thats rough, have you tried swaddling the baby? If she is holding him 24/7 at home then you have a tough battle ahead. I am all for breastfeeding but the baby needs to learn self soothing skills as well. Most new moms cant stand hearing there new little ones crying so they hold them all the time never letting them cry or learn to put them selves to sleep. I think your doing what you need to be doing to survive the day. I dont think cio is a bad thing (within reason).Do you have the baby every day? I started two babies with in a month or so of each other. One was 4 weeks old when I started him and the other was 2 months. I swaddled them both from the get go and the younger of the two was alreadt used to a sound machine so that made it a bit easier. They are both pretty adjusted now. It takes some work and a lot of consistency but they can adjust. Will the baby be happy in a baby swing for a bit at all? Baby swings can be life savers! I tend to "soften what I say to the new moms about there babies days. I dont think theres anything wrong with it. Why make them worry while there at work?! I would love to hear how this baby is over the next several weeks. I always tell new moms, there is usuallly a 4-6 week adjustment period before they really get used to being away from mom. Good luck!
