How to stop the baby from Crying
While there are several ways in which parents can cope with crying babies, there is no prescribed formula. None of these methods will work every time; some may even not work at all. But, they are all worth trying. First, try to determine whether there is a basic underlying problem. For instance, you think the baby is hungry, try to breast or bottle. May be you need to change its nappy, remove or add a layer of clothing or reposition the baby.

Does the baby get spoilt if it is picked up every time it cries?
Many mothers believe that if you carry your baby every time it cries, you will be spoiling it. This may be true for an older baby. Some experts argue that you should not even think of these discipline issues before the child is 6-7 months old. But for a newborn baby, you should carry it as often as it likes. This is its way of telling you that it wants to feel safe and secure. Do not forget that it has spent the past nine months cuddled up in the mother’s womb.



When should one call the doctor?
Sudden sustained crying in a baby, who has not so much previously, could indicate pain or illness. With advances in medical knowledge, the medical community is found that certain aspects of crying many provide clues to illness. If a baby’s cry is unexplainably high-pitched, it could indicate illness.

Private Physical Content:
Sometimes babies cry simply because they miss the close contact with their mothers that they enjoyed for nine months. A recent U. S. study has shown that babies who were carried in the arms or in a baby carrier, for at least three hours every day, cried much less than those who were carried less. Carrying gives the baby a sense of physical closeness with the mother (a carry over from the days in the womb) and it may help the mother to tune in better to her baby’s needs.



Respond promptly:
Crying is the only way a baby can communicate with the world around her. When you respond immediately to your baby’s cry, you give it a sense of control over its surroundings and a feeling that it is important to you. There will be occasions when you feel that your prompt response has not made any difference. Your baby will continue crying, no matter what you do.

Remember that not responding to your baby is not an option, as you run the risk of it feeling powerless and worthless over time. This is because if the baby’s cries are ignored, it will work itself up into a rage and probably forget what it was crying baby about in the first place.
