Nipple Thermometer

A newborn baby crying is a sight to behold to some - but not for mommies. When newborn babies cry, mommies start to worry because they are clueless about their reason for crying. This also signals the beginning of a guessing game for them. The only clear thing is that it is the only way babies tell their moms that they need something done. With so many causes as to why they are feeling uncomfortable, mothers can only speculate. To help moms successfully ‘accomplish her mission’, here are eight ways to comfort a crying baby:

1. Give her milk

Most of the time, babies cry because they are hungry; so, feed your baby.

2. Check the hole in the nipple

If you have given her milk and you’ve seen her ‘hungry’ response to the bottle, then she needs milk. But, if she suddenly cries, check the hole in the nipple. It might have too-small hole that makes it difficult for her to get some milk.

3. Put her to sleep

One of the reasons baby cry is when they are sleepy. Sing to her as you put her to sleep. It may also help if she’s cuddled.

4. Take her outside

The room may have become too hot or too cold for her. It will be better if you take her outside to get some natural air. Make sure, though, that the living room or the garden is not too noisy or she will also feel the same discomfort.

5. Burp her

Burping helps babies get rid of some of the air that they swallowed during feeding. So, a minute or two after finishing her milk and she cried, burp her. If not, this air will turn into uncomfortable gas that will make feel cranky.

6. Change her diaper

If her diaper is too wet by now, this makes her feel discomfort; so, change it. If diaper rash has already developed, apply a cream first before wearing a new diaper.

7. Change her position

Maybe she has been in one position for so long; though she wants to flip, she can’t do it. So, she cries. Change her pose then. Remember, you have to monitor how long she has been in one position so you know when to change it. This way, you will be able to prevent her from crying.

8. Check her temperature

As mom, you have to have thermometer at home to monitor her temperature. Babies cry when they have fever. So, verify if she has.

Sometimes, babies only feel alone; thus, they cry. Make your baby feel your presence then. Talk to her; make sure that you are making an eye-to-eye contact. Embrace her. Sing to her or play with her. More often than not, communication of love works. However, it must be noted that these approaches are only for babies’ simple reasons for crying. If the crying does not stop, there is a more complicated cause. Bring her to your pediatrician immediately for careful checking.
