Non-crying baby?


Have any of you ever dealt with a baby who does not cry or hardly ever cries.....?
this is for pediatric nurses, ob nurses, etc.

Im not a nurse....but I have 3 kids....My last one really doesnt cry that much....(which is a good thing) He is normally happy and content with everything...I dont think its a bad thing

Im not a nurse but i think that if its something that we know would cause a baby to cry and they dont there might be a problem to talk to the dr about.but i would say if there is nothing wrong w/baby be happy he/she is happy.

Depends on what you mean. My son "cried" but has only had a few tears and he is over 1 year old now. So if you mean they do not make the crying sounds then yea I would think that is a problem and if you mean no tears, no, I was told that his tear ducts may just be draining before they build up enough to drop.

My youngest was a very placid calm baby, never cried, never wanted attention was just in her own little world. at the time I thought wow this is great, but it later turned out she had autism.

If you catch austism early you can deal with it better. As soon as the baby is old enough please get it tested, just for peace of mind.
