Is Baby still crying after you’ve met all their basic needs? These simple calming techniques can come to the rescue! Try:

  • Switching up how you hold Baby

  • Bringing their hands to their feet

  • Creating a calm environment

  • Using smooth motion

  • Giving Baby close comfort

  • Playing some music

  • Trying white noise

If Baby cries frequently and nothing seems to work, know that you’re not alone. Many infants go through a stage of increased, unexplained crying called PURPLE crying. This phase typically ends around 3-5 months. During this difficult time, remember to ask friends and family for help when you need it. Baby’s healthcare provider can also be a great source of support.
