When a Baby Cries
It's normal for babies to cry. No matter how stressed, tired, angry or frustrated you feel, you must never shake a baby. How to cope with a crying baby:
- Make sure the baby's needs (food, diapering, appropriate clothing, etc.) are met.
- Try swaddling, tightly wrapping your baby in a blanket for warmth and security.
- Lower the lights and noise to help calm the baby.
- Walk the baby around holding him or her close to you.
- Take a break—sit down and count to 10 or 20.
