A baby who cries continuously, especially at night, ends up irritating even the most patient parents, sometimes causing problems at the level of the couple, especially if they are first-time parents.
The American Psychological Association suggests that children's sleep patterns may be in some ways responsible for the couple not feeling satisfied with their new parents' lives.
According to an investigation carried out with several couples of parents in Holland, they discovered that parents who had a better relationship after childbirth had babies who cried less, while satisfaction in the couple decreased markedly in the parents of crying babies.
The parameters that were taken into account for the study were levels of insomnia, marital satisfaction, a way to solve problems as a couple, feelings of confidence in fatherhood and motherhood, and types of sleep and crying of the baby.
My baby when she laughs is very nice but she is a girl who sleeps badly and who cries a lot both day and night, nothing to do with her older sister.
I do not know if it will be the fact that we are not first timers and, although I will not deny that we had night discussions because of the "fault" of the baby that does not stop crying, the next day we laughed at our dark circles convinced that it is a complicated stage What we have to go through.
The wisest thing is to take it with philosophy and take some measures so that the situation affects the couple as little as possible, such as leaving the baby for a while in the care of other people and enjoying some time alone, taking advantage to rest when the baby sleeps or set shifts to calm him at night.
