 [ Symptoms ] despite regular cardio exercise and eating healthy i can not seem to lose weight  okay maybe i can not lose weight is misleading but i am losing muscle and gaining fat my exercise includes running for an hour at least four times a week for over a month and eating includes eating salads eggs fruits and white meats like chicken and none of the junk i will not even allow myself cheat days in spite of the fact that i have lost 20lbs i do not look any thinner in fact i have gained fat and it is becoming increasingly harder to continue keep the same running time and pace [ Disease ] i do not know that i see many parents making mistakes but i like to let parents know it is completely normal to feel helpless and frustrated and at your wits end when a baby keeps crying when you feel like that it may be time to call for help and hand the baby over to grandparents or friends and it is ok after awhile to allow your baby to learn to soothe themselves i have had parents come in with an 8 month old baby and they say “i can not put her down or she will cry ” but by about 6 or 8 months you need to let babies learn how to be alone and soothe themselves do not be afraid to put crying babies down    as long as you know they are safe the crying is not going to hurt them finally never shake a baby this is a form of child abuse and it is very dangerous to the baby when you are frustrated and do not know what to do    when you get to that point give yourself a break
