If the baby is completely healthy, but cries incessantly, this may be due to a number of reasons.
The baby may be hungry or thirsty, perhaps uncomfortable in a wet diaper or uncomfortable in his clothes. Tears may be caused by heat or cold, colic, gas or constipation, diaper rash, fatigue, a desire to sleep, etc.
But it also happens that everything is absolutely fine with the baby, and none of the above worries him. Nevertheless. Inconsolable crying is heard from the baby's crib.
In such a situation, try to use the tips of pediatrician Harvey Karp, who developed a method based on the child’s unconditioned reflexes.
Its essence lies in the fact that the best calming for a child is conditions similar to those in which he was in the womb.
Tips to help calm your baby
Swaddle your baby with arms, creating the illusion of being in mom's belly.
Place your baby on his side on your arm to find a position that will calm him down.
Use white noise that imitates the sound of mom's heartbeat or the sound of household appliances. No special device: the sound of household appliances or water running from the tap will do.
Place your baby in your arms and begin to rock rhythmically - this will help recreate the feeling that the baby experiences in the mother's belly.
Try offering your baby your breast if he is breastfed: this is one of the most effective ways to calm a newborn.
Just try one or two techniques and you will see that the crying will subside.
