Hunger is the most common reason for crying babies
and easiest to solve too. Feeding the babies may soothe them almost
instantly. |
|
|
Baby wailing just after the feed may indeed be
asking you to help him pass the wind. Hold him in the upright position
against your shoulder for the purpose. |
|
|
Babies try to attract your attention after wetting
their nappies for a diaper change. Do not delay it long for it may cause
nappy rash. |
|
|
Babies may cry if they are feeling too hot or too
cold. So, use an appropriate blanket and monitor the room temperature
according to the baby's needs. |
|
|
Some mischievous naughty infant may just feel
neglected, if you leave them alone for long and cry to be held. Carry
them in a sling or baby carrier so that you can move about with your
baby and yet get the work done. |
|
|
If the babies are very tired, they might cry
themselves to sleep. Massaging them can help them soothe too, in such
cases. They are usually their happy self after the restful nap. |

|
It has been observed that cranial osteopaths can
gently massage baby's head and neck to soothe them after a difficult
birth experience. |
|
|
Very high-pitched tones or frantic crying may mean
that your baby is really ill and needs professional medical help. Go and
see the doctor immediately. |
|
|
Some babies do not like to come out of womb and
cry incessantly because of new experiences, lights, noises and
stimulations or may be precocious enough to try to do things they are
still not capable of physically and cry in frustration. Such crankiness
of babies usually disappears with age, maturity and development.
|
|
|
If the crying baby is getting on your nerves, you
may need to vent out your feeling by punching a pillow, have a warm
bath, talk to someone who would listen patiently to you, ask somebody to
take care for the baby for a few hours and take a short break and ask
advice from the doctor.
