Moms Talk: Dealing With Crying Babies

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this topic:

Question: What advice do you have to offer to a new parent whose child is having an outburst in a public place?

We only received one response to our inquiry so far. Her name is Dawn Wanner, and she’s one of our Moms Council members.

Dawn had this advice to offer:  

“Crying babies happen! If baby is crying because he/she is hungry and mom nurses, mom shouldn’t be afraid to nurse in public!! I don’t eat in a dirty, stinky bathroom, why should baby?!”

Do you have any thoughts on the matter? If so, please reach out and let us know how you would handle a public outburst. New parents are sure to thank you for the advice.
