Soothing Baby  

hi , all baby are do like that . so do't worry .....

I'm a mother of four so hope I can help, my youngest will turn 2 months next week.

Things I've tried: Rocking baby, walking with baby, placing baby in a front carrier and walking, placing baby in stroller and walking, stepping outside for fresh air with baby (they love the sky), go for a drive, play some soft music, sing to your baby, talk with your baby. More obvious things would be check for a dirty butt and change it, feed him/her. If it is colic they say you can exercise their leg like a bike and it helps them.

Why crying: needs diaper changed, got hurt (this can be a scratch, knee hit his/her swing,etc), colic, scared, just wants held, just wants to cry. Yes, babies also cry just to do it.

they make wonderful lotions these days to actually give them a little massage. If you just strip them to their diaper, and start gently massaging thier litle arms and legs and back, it usually calms them immediatlely! Think about it,, it makes us feel good to get massaged! And if they have been screaming and crying, they are tense, and irritable-it helps relax thier muscles.,,and it gives you bonding time. Try it.
