Newborns and specially those suffering from colic, are more likely to be physically abused. Parents are frustrated by their cry all day, and they reach a point where they get angry, and feel out of control.

If you have a baby who cries a lot, try these suggestions to avoid reaching an uncontrolled stage:

1. Sleep whenever he sleeps.
2. Ask for help from a friend, to stay with him while you enjoy a recreation hour. You will come back with a very nice mood and you will be able to tolerate more.
3. Eat nutritious food. Having a good health will help you to overcome the pressure.
4. Don't expect too much of yourself. Keep your expectations realistic, and enjoy being a loving mother.
5. Remember that this is just a period of time and it will pass away. Always tell your self :"This will not continue forever"
6. Sing to the child, this will help both you and the child to calm down.
7. If you are suspecting that the baby is having a health problem call the doctor, you don't have spend your power worrying.
8. If you have older children, show them your love and care.
