Learn to understand what the different cries of your baby mean. Is she hungry, lonely, in pain or maybe she needs a change?


ď ˝

Wrapping your baby tightly in a blanket can give comfort as it mimics the close feel of being in the womb again.


ď ˝

Sometimes crying can be relieved by some milk.


ď ˝

Could your baby be too warm, too cold or otherwise uncomfortable?


ď ˝

Try soothing your baby to go to sleep. Crying can be caused by tiredness.


ď ˝

If there’s a lot of noise or too much going on, try moving to a quieter and calmer place.


ď ˝

Play some music or sing to your baby. Music can be very calming.


Just making a calm and quiet “sh” sound in your baby’s ear can help relax her.


While many babies don’t seem to mind if they’re soiled, others can be very upset, so try changing your baby’s nappy.


ď ˝

Wind can be very painful for your baby. Try burping her if she is crying.
