Babies do that, K. It has nothing to do with you. Half the time I had no clue what caused my baby to cry. You just try different things (food, burping, diaper change, floor time, close hugging, rocking, walking, lights off, stillness), and when nothing works you just sit there with a howling baby. After months of this, you kind of get used to it...and waking up every 2 hours round the clock.

I remember my mother-in-law once thought she knew what to do to soothe my crying baby, which was to give him a pacifier (she was always trying to undermine breastfeeding and felt I should give him pacifiers and bottles). Since I couldn't figure out what was upsetting the baby, I gave him to her to try her "magic." She attempted to use the pacifier for several minutes. My baby continued to howl. Defeated, she handed him back to me.

That was a glorious moment.
