ok, so without disclosing my age, we'll say im over the age of 18, I recently started babysitting an infant that is teething. I babysit him from 5am to 5pm, so I've got my hands full. I've never had children of my own but I have always loved kids and yes, I know how to take care of him as far as feeding, burping and such ok so my question is, he's fine and dandy as long as I am holding him 24 hours a day, but I cant hold him all the time, i need both my hands to fix his bottles and such, but if I put him down, he screams his head off and will NOT stop. What is his deal? I think he is just spoiled a couple of ppl have told me to just put him down and let him cry it out but that makes me feel like a bad person for doing that. any advice? p.s. he's 4 months old. (link)

hmmm thats a toughie. I babysit too. I try to keep them entertained. Like give bounce them and pat them. I think he is afraid that if he's not in someone's arms he's not safe. That's the way my cousin was when i babysat him. He was 1 by the way. Just talk to his parents and ask them what they do when he won't stop crying. Hope this helps.
