As parents we want our kids to thrive. When a new born has all kind of troubles, eg. not eating well, not sleeping well, crying a lot, it has a huge impact on us and us as a family.
It's good to know that these could be symptoms of hardship your child endured while being in the womb, or when the process of being in labour starts. also what kind of birth was it? At home, in the hospital. Natural birth or c-section.
How did the conception go? IVF or other ways of when it was not able to become pregnant naturally. Everything can have an impact.
These (examples): crying a lot, not eating and/or sleeping well, can been seen as symptoms. Your child tries to communicate to you as parents wht has been or is going on. We 'just' need to learn to understand it.
Sometimes your child was so overwhelmed in the womb or eg. the birth canal, that it just wants to cry out the endured hardship. Only that needs to be in a well contained and loving field. Otherwise it'll be too much being afraid to do so. And the crying will be going on for a long time. That you just should let your child cry, alone in a separate room is not the solution. It may stop, but than the chance is that's just again in overwhelm and starts learning that communicating about it will not be received, will not be listened to by you as a parent. Something seems to die inside. This is a survival mechanism.
Try to listen to your child. Talk back. Hold it, comfort it. and if it's too much seek professional help.
