Most babies don’t cry that much. Babies shouldn’t cry unless they have a need that isn’t being met. Obviously some cry more than others, but it’s none of the babies in my family cried all that much either.

why do celeb parents ALWAYS say their baby doesn’t cry that much?

oh wait, never mind.it’s early!

i’m more interested in the 35 year old retriever(!) i presume you mean human years? not that the dog is 300 or anything….

Every year i travel from Italy to Peru…and is a loooong trip! specially with a baby. The first time my baby came with me she was 8 months, and i did the same as Elisabeth, I breastfeed on departure and arrival, and although it was a long trip, my baby was an angel! everybody congratulated me because she didn’t cry and was always happy, or sleeping.
Second and third trip, my daughter was almost 2 and 3, and my tricks are take with me a lot of different mini toys, bought specially for the trip, so every 2 – 3 hours (11 from Madrid, plus 2 1/2 from Italy to Spain) i take one toy and she has something new to play with, and when she gets bored, then another toy! lol
And also a lot of things to eat because she never eats on restaurants, so on airplanes is imposible! i have crackers, juice, and some candies…for the hard moments
Since now these tricks have worked for me, let’s see next year when she will be four, maybe she will be able to make that long trip without the need of a little surprise every hour
