Calming a cry baby and coping

As much as the love is immense babies can be hard to soothe sometimes because the cause of constant cries might be unknown sometimes especially if all that needs to be done is done but can't just stop crying.


1. Rock little baby in baby carrier and incorporate the "shoosh" sound.
Rocking little baby in a carrier while shooshing over and over again in the ear is a good way to stop baby from crying and is also a good way to put to sleep.

Research  shows that a calming response is triggered in an infant's brain when being carried or rocked, causing baby's heart rate to slow and muscles to become more relaxed," says Kristie Rivers, M.D., a pediatrician in Fort Lauderdale. 

At the same time, the shoosh sound creates a repetitive distraction for baby to focus on instead of crying.

2. Put Out Lights

However, it is important to keep it on low volume because white-noise machines could contribute to hearing loss if they are too loud and too close to Baby for long stretches of time.

6. Change of Caregivers and Environment.

After pleasing and baby is still bring fussy this could be because she is getting stressed or needs a change of caregivers. If this is so, it is important to at least move to a different environment like taking a walk, visit to family and or well wishes and friends. 

This helps because baby will spend most times, focusing on the new location.

7. Work Out the Stress

Exercising releases endorphins, feel-good hormones which can improve mood. It also takes ones mind off little munchkin for a while so one can focus on ones own body, which can give back a sense of control. And the "alone time" will de-stress mother enough to head back and manage crying baby calmly.
