8 Tips to calm the crying baby
Feed him
- By Team TDO
Hunger is the most common reason why babies cry. Their small stomach does not hold much milk, so they feel hungry often. Breast milk makes babies strong. Once the baby is 6 months old or when his body is ready for other food start with fresh vegetable soups and porridge.
Warm bath

Body temperature rises after a warm bath and drops after sometime. This drop puts the baby to sleep. Be sure to check the temperature of water.
Swaddle

Babies are generally swaddled (wrapped in a cloth) after a warm bath, it simulates their condition in the womb. How tight should be the swaddling? It should be so tight that he can swing his arms and legs freely.
