Know What to Do When Your Baby Is Crying
The first form of communication for babies
is crying. They do not always cry because
of the same reason and you do not always
have to make them quiet. Babies who have
crossed the fourth month may cry for complex
reasons as compared to babies who are less than 4
months old. Let us look at some of the tips you
could use to soothe the younger babies. When
deciding on how to make the baby calm, you should
first take a look at the environment and
situation and think of why the baby may be
crying. Breastfeed is not the only reason they
cry. Apart from crying because hunger they
cry when in pain, overtired, over
stimulated or when they feel uncomfortable.

  a stroller, try moving on rough surfaces.

  They love to listen to your heartbeat and
  feel your touch. A carry sling is a perfect idea
  to make this bond and it keeps your hands free
  when you are getting chores done. When buying a
  sling you can wear it and see if it is a perfect
  fit for you or not. Carrying a baby in a
  carry sling helps strengthening bond of
  attachment and stimulates breast milk
  production.
• A deep and relaxing warm bath is a great idea.
  This relaxes just about anyone. If chamomile or
  lavender oil is burning close by it can be a
  great idea. To the bath water, you can add a cup
  of soothing Chamomile tea. Try to avoid using
  bright artificial lights and use sunlight or
  candles instead of that. Allow the baby to float
  freely in water. Do not be hasty. If you see
  bubble on the surface, that indicates relaxing of
  their bowel.

  irritability, decrease colic and enhances
  the nervous system which in turn allows them to
  sleep.

  him. Hum or sing to them
