If your infant is crying because he or she is hungry, feed the infant the formula or breast milk needed to satisfy hunger. Its important to stay on schedule with feedings which can reduce the amount of crying. Secondly, your infant is crying because he/she is wet/soiled. Change your infant every 2 hours or sooner or as needed when soiled. Lastly, your infant is crying because he/she needs to be held. Hold your infant as much as you can to create a bond of trust and security that can last a life time.
In conclusion, there are many ways to sooth your infant crying,but I would start by choosing one of my methods first and let me know how it works for you.

As an expecting mother, I am nervous about soothing my baby and meeting their needs. I know that eventually I will learn my babies cues so that hopefully I can solve the issue before she starts to get really upset. It is extremely important for parents to pay attention to infant cues because this can help prevent a baby from becoming upset. Watching for rooting (rocking), suckling, and putting their hands in their mouth. If you watch for these cues you can help prevent the baby from crying in the first place, which is our main goal. Additionally, always important to be noted when discussing a crying infant, if you have tried all of the methods provided to sooth an upset baby, and you cannot stop the crying, take a few moments to step away and phone a friend. Sometimes other people can provide real help in these types of situations. If you are ever overwhelmed from the crying or upset, set the infant in a safe place and leave the room. Take some time to breath and relax, call someone, or just listen to some music for a bit. This will help eliminate the risk of Shaken Baby Syndrome and when you return to your crying infant you will have a new set of eyes to help find the issue.
ReplyDeleteThis is great information for mothers or individuals who babysit. I know when I was little my mom could never get me to stop crying. I was a baby that would cry over everything and there was nothing that would really sooth me. However, all babies are not like this and these tips are very helpful. Thanks for sharing the information.
