6 amazing tips

Method 1: Change hands

Sometimes, babies just like to throw tantrums. If they are always held by their mothers, they will become difficult to coax because they are used to being held by their mothers. At this time, you can let your father hold them, and maybe it will work. In a strange environment, the baby will gradually become calm and stop crying out of curiosity or fear.

Babies like new things. When new things appear, their attention will be distracted. Dad’s arms are stronger and serve as a safe haven. Changing hands can give babies new feelings.

Method 2: Touch your baby's neck with your nose

Sometimes, when the baby keeps crying and the mother is at a loss, whether holding or carrying the baby, the mother can try to touch the baby's neck with her nose. The neck is a sensitive part of the baby, and this can make the baby feel itchy. At the same time, it can ignite the baby's curiosity, and the baby will forget about crying and start laughing.

Babies like the loving touch of their parents. Touching with the nose not only gives babies a sense of freshness, but is also a channel for babies to communicate closely with their parents. Babies can feel the deep love of their parents.

Method 3: Change to a strange posture

You can also try to let the baby lie face down on the mother's arms, and then the mother holds up the baby's face with her palms. Be careful not to touch the baby's face too hard, otherwise it will cause unnecessary damage; then gently shake the baby with your left hand and gently stroke the baby's back with your right hand. When the vision suddenly changes, the baby will feel very novel and forget to cry.

Babies are always excited about new experiences. Babies usually lie down with their faces and eyes looking upwards, not knowing what the world below is like, or what it feels like to look down. Changing to a strange position can give babies a different visual experience. You will find that when some people play with babies, they like to hold them high up, and the babies are not afraid but laugh happily. That is because the babies feel that they have a new experience.

Method 4: Listen to the sound of running water

Mom and dad can also let the baby listen to the sound of running water when the baby is crying. Imagine the picture of a long stream of water, and you will feel very peaceful. The sound of water has a special charm, and the baby will be attracted by the sound of gurgling water and forget to cry. If the baby is crying and there is no other way, you can try this method.

The gentle and subtle sound can soothe the baby's irritable heart, and the sound of running water will make the baby feel very comfortable and natural. It is a special lullaby. In order to prevent the waste of water, you can use a radio to play the sound and let the baby listen close to it.

Method 5: Make some noise

Some mothers may wonder if this small noise conflicts with the sound of running water. In fact, it does not. The sound wave reaction of noise is chaotic but regular. If you have a vacuum cleaner at home, you can choose to turn it on at a low gear. If you have a radio, turn the radio to between two stations, or play an empty tape on the recorder to create some small noise to distract the baby. In this environment, the baby will forget to cry and fall asleep.

Parents don’t have to worry about small noises affecting the baby. Sometimes babies need to grow up in places with some noise. On the contrary, if they are often in a place that is too quiet, they will not be able to adapt to small noises! Let’s make some small noises to make the baby fall asleep!

Method 6: Blow on his forehead

Mom and dad can also try to blow gently on the baby's forehead continuously. The baby will immediately blink and take a deep breath. Repeat this several times and he will forget why he is crying. It is novel and feels like the wind is blowing. It is cool and comfortable. As long as there are other events happening and the baby cannot focus on two things at the same time, he will forget to cry. Blowing on the forehead is to create an event that distracts the baby.

Special note: If you choose this method to stop your baby from crying, parents must make sure they do not have a cold or other infectious diseases and put the baby's health first.

Top 9 reasons why newborns cry

★Reason 1: Hunger or overfullness

Generally speaking, newborns may need to be fed every 2 to 3 hours, but some mothers prefer to feed their babies every 3 or 4 hours. Babies who cannot bear hunger often get angry and cry non-stop, and they will drink too much milk when feeding, so that they will swallow too much air, which will cause stomach pain and make them cry again. What's more serious is that some parents think that the baby is crying because he has not eaten enough, so they feed him again! However, the baby's nerves are not yet mature, and he still retains the sucking reflex ability. No matter what is put in the baby's mouth, he will suck hard. As a result, the baby eats too much milk, and his stomach becomes more and more bloated, and then he cries because he feels uncomfortable.

【Solution】

How many hours between feedings depends on the baby's specific situation. As for babies who always drink milk quickly and anxiously, you can pat their backs several times to expel the air halfway through the feeding to prevent them from inhaling too much air.

★Reason 2: Stomach bloating

Due to imperfect digestive function, babies will experience abdominal distension from time to time.

【Solution】

Pat your baby's back to relieve gas, or apply some infant-specific gas-relieving ointment containing peppermint oil.

If your baby is often bloated, you can consider changing to a different formula milk powder, and breastfeeding mothers should eat less gas-producing foods (such as beans, soy milk, and sweet potatoes).

Reason 3: Want to sleep

Some babies seem irritable before going to bed. If the baby's eyelids seem heavy or he keeps rubbing his eyes, it means he wants to sleep.

【Solution】

Then coax the baby to sleep~

★Reason 4: Mom ate heavy-tasting food

If a breastfeeding mother eats food with a strong taste, such as peppers, onions, curry, etc., the baby may be affected and cry.

【Solution】

Breastfeeding mothers should try to eat less or avoid stimulating foods and drinks containing caffeine or alcohol.

Reason 5: The diaper is wet

This situation is relatively easy to judge, and many diapers now have a wetness indicator function.

【Solution】

Change frequently!

A mother said it very well: It’s uncomfortable to wear diapers for too long. Women change sanitary napkins frequently during their working days, let alone children who have to wear diapers every day!

I have used a lot of diapers, both good and bad brands. In fact, it’s not the diapers’ fault. Every time there is a problem, it’s because sometimes I’m too lazy and don’t want to change it!

Urine is okay, but if you have poop, you must clean your butt and change diapers, especially if you have diarrhea. The poop of diarrhea is irritating and can easily cause a red butt, so you must change diapers frequently, wipe frequently with a warm towel, wash frequently with warm water, and take care of your baby frequently.

Reason 6: Emotional needs

Babies sometimes miss the warm feeling in their mother's belly, so they cry to get their mother's hug and care.

【Solution】

Hugging can effectively calm your baby, so why not hug him more often? After all, a child will only stick to his mother for three to five years...

Reason 7: Uncomfortable environment

An environment that is too noisy can make babies restless and cry.

Being too hot or too cold can also make your baby feel irritable or uncomfortable because he or she is not yet able to regulate his or her body temperature.

【Solution】

Moderate comfort or gentle touch can effectively relieve the baby's emotions.

The indoor temperature can be maintained at a comfortable level (22℃～24℃), but don't cover yourself too much.

★Cause 8: Intestinal colic

When colic occurs, the baby's face will be swollen and red, and the lower limbs will curl up on the belly. This condition usually occurs very quickly;

It is common in the afternoon and night, and is more common in newborns aged 3 to 6 weeks. When the baby is older, the incidence of colic will be greatly reduced.

【Solution】

There are some ways to deal with baby colic, you can help your baby rub his tummy, or pick up your baby and rock him gently and regularly;

Apply some anti-flatulence ointment on the baby's tummy and massage it, or put a warm towel on the baby's stomach, sing a song, take a warm bath, etc., to relieve the baby's discomfort.

★Cause 9: Other pediatric diseases

In addition to colic, otitis media, gastroenteritis or hernia may also be the cause of your baby's crying due to physical discomfort.

【Solution】

If your baby refuses to eat, sleep, gain weight, behaves suddenly in abnormal ways, or his crying sounds significantly different from usual, or seems more like crying caused by pain, fever, etc., then he may have some pediatric disease and you should take your baby to the doctor for treatment immediately.
