Crying Baby
Most babies cry often. Crying is an important way that he/she communicates to you before they can speak. Figuring out why can be hard – it is a matter of trial and error. What works today may not work tomorrow or the next day, but your need to show your baby they can trust you by picking him/her up and comforting them every time he/she cries.
How to calm a crying baby
- Cuddle or wrap baby up in a blanket
- While holding baby, gently bounce or walk with the baby while speaking softly
- Whisper in your baby’s ear
- Go for a walk or car ride
- Be silly – sing or make funny faces
