Five methods in your repertoire

for

Soothing crying baby

Undress the baby. Take everything off including diaper. This will insure no injuries from clothing such as pinching from a snap or clasp. Look for hairs wrapped around toes or fingers.

Bounce. Careful with this technique! Make sure you are supporting the baby’s neck and head. Sit on the edge of the bed holding the baby close to your chest and bounce up and down gently, pushing off with your feet.

Change the holding technique. Place the baby close to your chest facing forward with your forearm over the belly and other hand under the bottom.

Road Trip! Go for a ride in the car. This gets your mind off the baby and decreases your stress and the baby will love the motion of the car.

Bathe the baby. Sometimes the warm water helps to calm the baby. It may help with gas pain or just facilitate relaxation.
