Please tell this to my friends, the parents of a newborn daughter... the father especially freaks out when the baby won't stop crying, and seems to have developed a grudge against her crying. I am just like... hey, she's 2 months old, what did you expect an infant to do? But the father is not getting the clue, unfortunately. But he's a control freak, so I guess that doesn't help the situation.

Anyway, yes! Don't freak out about the crying. It's normal.
