Babies, once
frustrated and
crying can be hard to calm down. You can try the following low-effort ideas to chill your little one out.
A pacifier: You may be against them, but it's true that sucking can calm most babies down. Of all the self-soothing methods a baby has, sucking works the best. If you've never given a pacifier to your baby before he may not want one. You can keep trying with different brands and offer it after, not before feedings.
Baby wearing: The more you wear your baby, the
calmer he may be overall. It's very soothing for babies to be carried close to you, and as you walk the rocking motion will aid in the soothing. Learn how to
choose the perfect infant carrier.
Use some rhythm: As mentioned above, rocking motions help to sooth a baby. However, you don't need to wear your baby in a carrier or sling to get some movement going. You can try a car ride,
dancing, or even a baby swing. One thing that always soothed my little one was his
vibrating bouncy baby seat.
