Me and my fiancé just had a baby who is 3 weeks old. When we came home from the hospital he was fine and happy. Recently though he started being more fussy and crying a lot. Crying was very unusual for him. I then find out some days later that my fiance's mom had a dream my baby was being bothered by a spirit. We also got this baby swing some time before and his mom didn't know we got one until she told us that in her dream my baby boy was saying he didn't want to go in the swing because there was a spirit in it. We never got to put him in the swing yet and we were surprised because she never knew we got a swing yet. Now my fiance's a little worried because he could be like him where spirits are going to keep coming to our baby. Our little boy is very freakwd out by this spirit that he doesn't even want to go to sleep until he just gets so tired he can't help but drift off to sleep since my fiancé even said that they are even able to go into your drwams which could be why our baby started looking like he'd be having a nightmare while he's sleeping then start to cry. He even looks over me or my fiance's shoulder every time either one if us holds him and he starts to look scared. My fiancé was able to see spirits all the time from what I've heard and they always came to him. He's even told me about this one that really freaked him out bad where he was at home alone one day and he saw a girl sitting on his sister's bed with hands covered in blood holding a knife. He's worried that later on spirits like that would come to him. So I was wondering if there was anything I would be able to do in case there would be spirits who would harm my little boy...

Babies cry, more about upset stomach or other issues, hungry, tired, look at those issues first.

And let me see, you all talk about a evil spirit in the house and you are SURPRISED a small child is freaked out.

Most likely your talk and even accepting this as a idea of the problem is CAUSING the problem.

First, stop talking in front of the chld about this, if you are religious, get house blessed and go on with life, for the child, if they are scared of ghosts and things, a small spray bottle with wather, tell him it is s spirit or ghost spray, let him spray it around to feel safe.

Stop scaring children with silly ghost stories nad look for real life reasons to the problem

I so agree with chuck. Stop talking this way in front of the children. It sounds like you have wrapped your world around this spirit issue. Superstition can do great harm. Children don't have nightmares unless they have heard someone talking about nightmares.

As for baby crying, they cry, it is what they do to have their needs met.

I don't even talk about it in front of him where did you guys get that idea? And of course I would be worried about him. I even said I have only 1 newborn I don't know where you guys got all this children and me telling them ghost stories bull crap why would I even do that in the first place?

Plus he starts to cry for no reason when we have done everything we could think of. That basically means that something is up.

Babies cry. I'd be more concerned about colic, or another issue, than I would be about a spirit.

Try using some gripe water to help ease discomfort in his belly. My son was colicky for 8 months, it was not a fun time, but gripe water really helped. It also helps with teething (too soon for that, but a good thing to keep in the cupboard for when the time comes).

I do know that babies cry but for him to cry this much is unusual. He doesn't cry like this when at his grandma's house and he will cry for hours. The last time I checked about that, crying for hours on end is not normal. I did suspect colic at first but we confirmed he doesn't have that issue. He also always looks scared and he's normally not so fussy and mad looking. He was a happy baby until recently out of nowhere. And he never wants to go to sleep anymore. I need help we do everything we can possibly think of. We know what's wrong and we need to know what to do about it.

If you really feel that there's a spirit in your home then contact someone that deals with issues like this. Your church may be able to help. You can also look up paranormal investigators in your area.

There's very little anyone can offer online.

Just so you know, my son would cry for almost 12 hours a day when he had colic. So crying for hours on end, it can happen, and isn't necessarily due to a spirit in the home. He could have a milk allergy, he could have another issue. I'd get a clean bill of health from his pediatrician, and mention the constant crying.

But, if you're dead set on it being this issue, you'll have to find someone that specializes in this sort of thing.

Good luck.

So you know what's wrong, it is spirits, but how does a baby only not even a month old look scared and how does he look over a shoulder? If you believe it is spirits, call in a priest and have your house blessed.

Has your baby boy been christened yet? If not, and things return to normal after, maybe this will rest your mind.

When our constantly crying firstborn refused to sleep, we'd take him for a long ride in the car. It worked every time. Also, we bought a white-noise machine for his room. The drone muffled odd noises (dog barking outdoors, slam of a door, etc.) which tended to startle him awake.

Over the weeks and months, your baby's sleep habits and behavior will change innumerable times.

We probably got that impression, that there was another little boy from the way you were writing, it sounded that way because I for one couldn't possibly think a three week old baby could look scared or frightened.

So don't get your shirt in a knot because we misunderstood.

Firefly, you mention your fiancés problem with seeing spirits and that does lend some credibility to a spirit being around your baby. Obviously babies cry and fuss and if it wasn't for what you said, I wouldn't think twice about it. If you're that concerned that this really is a legit spirit issue, would you and your fiancé be open to speaking with a pastor?
