Why Do Babies Cry?

When a baby cries or fusses please try the following techniques~
Check to see if your child is wet, hungry, to hot or to cold, in pain or wants to be held.
Check for signs of illness, such as fever and if you feel your child is ill call someone for help.

How to soothe a crying baby.

If you have checked for the above reasons and crying persists try the techniques listed below.
Try sitting in a rocking chair and cuddling with the child.
Put the child in a "belly pack" or sling and walk.
Talk, read or sing softly.
Try taking your child for a walk.
Listen to music.
Go for a stroller or car ride.

If none of these things work, it is "OK" to put the baby in a safe place and let cry for 5-10 minutes. Always remember to check your child periodically.

Most of all please remember

never pick up a baby in anger.

As Eleanor Roosevelt once said

"Anger is one letter short of Danger."
