Here are some tips on how to soothe a baby:
- Hold or rock the baby: Holding or rocking a cranky infant can bring comfort and help soothe it.
- Use white noise: To create a calming sound that replicates the womb, use a white noise machine or an app.
- Swaddle the baby: Gently cover the infant in a soft, airy blanket to keep the baby from becoming overstimulated.
- Breastfeed or bottle-feed the infant because they may be hungry.
- Give the infant a warm bath: A warm bath can help to calm a fussy baby.
- Gently rubbing the baby’s back, tummy, and limbs can assist to comfort them.
- Going for a walk with the baby in the stroller or baby carrier can be quite comforting.
- Provide a pacifier: A pacifier can help to relax and calm a fussy baby.
If your infant is displaying signs of discomfort or you are unsure what is causing your baby’s
fussiness, always visit your pediatrician.
