What's the best way to treat a newborn baby that keeps crying?

If the child is always crying, parents should first understand the reason for the crying. For example, the child is thirsty, hungry, overheated or too cold, which can easily cause such crying. In addition, it is also necessary to understand whether it is caused by illness. As long as the crying is physiological, certain methods can be taken to improve it, such as swaddling, side-lying, hushing, rocking, sucking, etc.

1. Swaddling method: Some people think that wrapping the baby tightly will make him cry more, but this is not true. Because babies are tightly wrapped in their mother's womb, they will feel more secure once their arms are wrapped.

Method: There are some tips for swaddling a baby. Do not wrap the baby's entire body vertically into a "candle bag". You should try to wrap your baby's arms tightly and keep his legs loose, otherwise it will affect the baby's hip development.

2. Side-lying method: When the baby is crying, many parents are accustomed to holding the baby on his back, but lying on his back will make the baby feel like he is falling down.

Method: When comforting a baby, do not let the baby's face face the mother's chest. The smell of breast milk will make the baby cry more easily. The correct method is to place the baby facing outward and lying on its side, allowing the baby to return to the most traditional position when in the mother's womb.

3. The hushing method: During the 9 months that the baby is in the mother’s belly, there are sounds all the time – the mother’s heartbeat, the sound of gastrointestinal movement, the sound of blood flowing, the sound of talking, and a variety of rich sounds from the outside world.

Method: Keep making a "hush" sound in the baby's ear. The louder the baby cries, the louder the sound should be. This will also help the baby calm down quickly. In baby language, shushing means "I love you."

4. Rocking method: When the baby is in the womb filled with amniotic fluid, the baby is actually rocking all the time, no matter the mother is walking, sitting and watching TV, or turning over in sleep, the baby is rocking 24 hours a day.

How to do it: Rhythmic rocking is very effective for babies and will make them feel very comfortable and relaxed. When shaking the baby, parents should pay attention to the appropriate intensity and not be too violent, and be especially careful with the baby's head.

5. Sucking method: Babies start practicing sucking their fingers 3 months before their due date. Sucking not only relieves the baby's hunger, but more importantly, it activates the brain's calming nerves and brings the baby into a deep state of relaxation.

Practice: Young mothers should be reminded that when giving their children a pacifier, do not hang the pacifier around the baby's neck to avoid hurting the baby, and do not put sugar on the pacifier.
