A baby can cry for many reasons, because a baby cannot tell you what is bothering him and what is hurting him. At this age, this is his only way to communicate with the world. Only by showing patience and ingenuity and finding the reason for crying, you can quickly calm your baby.
Necessary
- -dummy;
- -quiet music;
- -clean diapers.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the child in your arms and press your cheek against his head, sing him a lullaby. Never raise your voice or shout at him. If the baby is breastfed, give him a breast, otherwise a dummy. The sucking reflex in most cases has a calming effect on the child.
Step 2
Turn off bright lights, TV and tape recorder. Walk with your baby in a dim room, stroking his back and head. Smile when you sing and talk to him, so he will know that everything is fine, and he will calm down faster. More vigorous swinging may sometimes be required. Sometimes quiet, calm music helps to calm the child.
Step 3
Check the diaper, if necessary, change it to a clean one. After that, if the baby is not hungry, try rocking him and putting him to bed.
Step 4
The crying of a child can be caused by the baby's reaction to the irritation of the mother or an unfriendly situation in the family. In this case, you need to calm down and, if possible, eliminate the source of irritation.
Step 5
Some children do not respond well to new environments. For example, a baby may be annoyed by an unfamiliar room, its lighting, or the people around it. In this situation, the child can be reassured by a walk in the fresh air.
Step 6
If you are tired and cannot calmly respond to the crying of a child, ask your husband or grandmother to temporarily replace you. If no one can help you at the moment, put the baby in the crib and rest a little, then try to calm him down again. Children react quite strongly to the mood of their mother. The calmer you are, the better your baby will feel.
Step 7
If the crying of a child differs from usual, and attempts to calm him down do not give any results, be sure to call a doctor. In the meantime, while you are waiting for the health worker, carry the baby in your arms and talk to him. Perhaps your baby is sick, and it is the poor health that is the reason for his crying.
