8. Give your baby plenty of love and affection
9. Leave the baby with his father sometimes so that you can get
the rest you need. I suggest that you should have beds in two
different rooms in the house so that the parents can take turns to
sleep in a quiet room whilst the other
parent sleeps in another
room with the baby.
10. Accept the fact that all babies at this stage cry; were it not for
this crying you would not be able to find out what your baby
needs, and there is great divine wisdom in that.
Work out your baby’s problem from the
sound of his crying
To find out what your baby’s problem is, first look for the reasons
mentioned above which may lead to the baby crying. There
follow some signs which will help you to work out what the
baby’s problem probably
is from the tone of his crying, taking
into consideration the fact that not all children are the same in
this regard.
• Cry of hunger – this is a short cry with persistent rising and
falling of volume
• Cry of anger – when the baby
is upset and looks angry
• Cry of distress – the cry varies; sometimes it is loud and long,
then there will be a long pause, followed by persistent crying with
a level tone.
• Cry of colic – a loud
cry that may last for hours
Give free rein to your common sense and act accordingly.
Allah says:
“Allah’s handiwork according to the pattern on which He has
made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by
Allah” [al-‐Room 30:30].

Allah has created in the mother warm compassion towards her
children, and the strong inclination to hold them gently and enjoy
their love. These are the most important
things that the baby
needs in the first year of his life.
There were some scientific studies that said that the mother
should not carry her child a great deal so that the child will not
get used to that, and that she should make him sleep at regular
hours, and that
if he cries with no reason, she should leave him to
cry so that he does not get used to being carried all the time. But
the outcome was that children became aggressive and more
violent, and they had a lot of emotional and temperamental
problems. So now the scientific studies and research say that you
should pick
up your baby whenever he cries, calm him down, kiss
him and pat his face to make him feel safe; breastfeed him
whenever he needs it at any time of night or day. All of these
matters are psychological
needs of the child, and satisfying those
needs is one of the most important things that you should be well
aware of. Give your child love, compassion and care so that he
will grow up properly and will be emotionally stable.
