5. The most important thing is NEVER punish your child while you are angry. Take a breather away from child before you hand out any punishment to your child. Disicipline that belittles or shames a child can truly be harmful.

6. Start rewarding instead of punishing. You've probably already discovered how useless it is to try to punish your child when he 's running around or tuning you out. What I have found with my child is how well he responds to simple rewards. Praise good behavior immediately ("You brushed your teeth, just like I asked you to! Thanks so much!") and give your child a reward that pleases him such as a special snack or extra time to watch TV, for example. The reward should be something he can enjoy right away; kids with ADHD don 't like to wait.

7. Realize you are not alone. There are many parents out there who have a child with ADHD. If you need to talk to someone, you can find support groups out there. Talk to your Doctor or Therapist. They can point you in right direction to find support.

5)I have not tried this and do not recommend this unless baby is supervised by an adult. Many mothers I have talked to say this worked for them. Place your child in his/her car seat on top of dishwasher or washing machine and turn it on for a cycle or two.

6) Try singing to your child, or turning a radio or a tv on to music. It may or may not stop your baby from crying, but it could calm him/her down a little bit. My son calms down when I put country music on.

7) Have your spouse take baby for awhile. If you are only person your baby will let hold him/her, try to away for a little while. Have a friend or relative help by watching your child for you.

Make sure you get some sleep whenever possible. I often have my sister come to my house and watch my kids while I take a nap. This way you won't be so tired when dealing with a screaming baby all night. My husband also takes baby when he does not have to go to work. It helps when you are not so tired.

Remember crying will not last forever. Even if nothing works for you, there is an end insight . Before you know it all crying that your baby has done will be replaced with smiling, gurgling, and he/she will be a happy baby. My son is now 3 months old and he is not crying as much as he did two weeks ago.
