Random Hysterics

There will be a time when your child may just cry cry cry, and babymamma will pass off the child to you due to being frustrated, annoyed, or simply cuz everyone needs to suffer when a baby is wailing at the top of their little lungs.

Our baby is a pretty good kid, but when she cries, sometimes she just wants to cry it out for a a period of time. It doesn't have to do with the clothes she's wearing, the barometric pressure, whether she's tired or hungry, or even a wet diaper. Swaddle or no swaddle, distracting noises or lovely lullabies, there's nothing that will console or pacify that child.

The only thing that I can think of is the prolonged exposure to new people. Perhaps it's the germs (can't be, everyone Purell's before they touch her), perhaps it's something else. All I can think of is that it must be an overstimulation of senses or attention. Why she doesn't start to cry when she's in the presence of overstimulation is beyond me. Her crying fits always seems to happen when we're trying to put her down to bed, so we can go to bed, but again her fits only occur on days when many people have handled her, or she's been around others for a long period of time other than her parents.

I can only imagine perhaps at the end of the day, she reviews her day and then suddenly realizes all the scary people(non-biological parents) have touched her, held her, or spoke to her in baby talk, etc. Perhaps it's this sudden recall of faces and scents or something freaks out my baby and causes her to cry, cry cry.
