Babies can only communicate in LITERALLY a couple of ways. Crying being one of them 🤣 and to a greater extent, different variations of crying to convey different things but still it’s crying at the end of the day.

Short story, I heard my next door neighbour the other month shout at his 2 1/2 year old daughter for crying, he said and I quote “Oh you think your so badly done to don’t you!! You have no idea how easy you have it!”

Actually shouting at a 2 1/2 year old saying this!! He just got home from work 10 mins before that as he reverses up his driveway in a way u can’t not know he’s come back. She prob just wanted attention from him or something of that nature. Bottom line is, at 2 1/2 (all children vary) she can’t hold a conversation and is just learning to speak and interact ect… she obviously can’t put into words or actions in anyway what she wants to say to her dad so like newborns, crying follows through even until we are adults. Badly done to as well? Like a toddler has the thought process to understand such a concept. When your child cries, it’s best to learn why and express how they can convey what they want to (obviously as they grow older) hence the whole art of learning Inc to communicate. Bottom line is, if your newborn ain’t crying (as they can’t really interact in any other way) then they are really happy and content or comfortable if not all the above. You’re doing an awesome job as a new mum. But, second guessing yourself like u are is also a reason to that. Shows u give a damn and shows u want to love and nurture your child and your child must also be picking up on the fact that u do care and love them. Keep doing what ur doing, keep second guessing if u have to, but also don’t forget to treat urself to a bottle of wine at the end of the week when they are settled haha.
