Baby HAS to cry before falling asleep?

Well, not always, but usually. Before my girl falls asleep she suddenly gets really fussy, cries for about 2 minutes, and then is out. Any one else have a LO that does this???

I just think it's weird.

It seems weird, but it's probably normal --as our LOs only real response is crying, it's probably more of a reflux than anything else -- my son is two months and for the first week or so, the second, he was 'crying' I ran to his basket terrified -- I realised that every baby has their routine for settling -- with Finn, his sounds were/are almost like the devil incarnate/speaking in tongues, but realised he was just processing and settling down....

hope I helped a little!

best wishes

ps. unless my LO really is the devil incarnate, but haven't seen any glowing red eyes or hounds from hell (I have cats, tho)..........

Yep. I think it's a good thing - my theory is that it gets the last bit of energy out and helps them into a deep sleep.

Maybe she's crying because she's fighting sleep? Our little guy does this too. He cries for about half a minute then falls asleep as soon an the binky goes in his mouth.

My lo cries too. He does several sort cries even though we rock him and usually after that he will fall asleep x
