If a small child cries, it means that he needs help. Remember, a baby cannot manipulate you with tears, so never ignore a child's cry.
How to quickly calm a child
Here's what you, as a parent, can do to stop your baby's endless stream of tears.
Make sure basic needs are met
In order to meet the basic needs of a child, it is necessary to first check his diaper, then feed and water him.
If the child wants to sleep, then you need to help him calm down and create conditions for sleep. If the child does not want to sleep, you can try to unswaddle him so that he can use up his energy and finally get tired.
Be sure to take the baby in your arms to calm him down and let him know that mom and dad are nearby and everything is okay.
Eliminate the causes of discomfort
To eliminate possible causes of discomfort, you can try to remove the uncomfortable romper, change the baby's diaper again, adjust his diaper or simply turn him over. Perhaps this will help calm the baby.
Reduce sensory overload
Small children may be disturbed by bright lights and loud noises. A child may start crying if picked up by a stranger, even a close relative.
To calm a baby, sometimes it is enough to reduce the brightness of the light and speak a little quieter, as well as ask noisy people unfamiliar to the baby to leave the room.
Turn on some white noise
Many babies stop crying when they hear a steady sound, such as running water, a hair dryer, or soft music. To calm your baby, pick him up, hold him close, and walk around the room to the sound of "white noise."
