CRYING |
My baby is fine all day but has a crying spell for three or four hours in the evening. What can I do? |
- Know that babies generally have a fussy period each day and that evening is a typical time.
- Some tiny babies like to be swaddled-that is, wrapped snugly in a blanket.
- Take turns with your partner caring for the baby during the fussy time.
- See if taking a bath with the baby helps.
- Dance around to music. It may help her to burp!
- Play classical music while you stroke her softly.
- Talk to her; use your voice to soothe her.
- Take her for a ride in the car in an approved car seat.
- Plan your schedule to have time to devote to the baby during fussy periods.
- If you are nursing, vary what you eat to see if it will make a difference.
- Have the baby checked to see if there is a medical problem.
