Helping yourself in treating baby cry

Caring for your newborn baby requires much patience and some simple tips; however, you won't be able to find everything in a book or an article titled "Motherhood for Dummies" or "Everything you need to know about being a mother. Some things will just need to be experienced along with having some common sense.
What you should do when your baby cries is quite a debatable topic. I'm not a doctor or a psychologist, but I can talk in regards to my own personal situations in raising two daughters.
When your baby cries, he or she is letting you know that something is wrong because, of course, they are not able to talk. But once you find out that he is not wet, hungry, or in any type of pain and all he wants you to do is hold him, then you may be in for a rude awakening.
Okay, one or two times is quite fine and there is nothing wrong with showing affection and holding your baby, but when it gets to the point that all you hear is the sound of crying because he is not being held, then you need to nip that issue in the bud.
Your baby needs to be fine even when you are not holding him as well. In order to do this, you must not run to him every time he does it. We did this with our little ones and it worked out just well. My oldest daughter had her own room, was able to sleep with the lights off, and was the most precious quiet little baby you could ever imagine.
I am fixed on the fact that all of this was due to us not catering to her cries of wanting to be held every minute. She is now thirteen years old and is the most well-rounded child and is shown and feels much love from her parents.
If your baby cries and then stops the moment you pick him up and then starts back the moment you lay him down, then your baby is trying to train you. Stopping yourself from catering to this will probably break your heart in the beginning; but trust me, it only gets better!
