How do you calm a fussy, crying baby? She's always crying!?

Answer 1

If she is dry, fed and not sick, try rocking and singing to her. If that doesn't help, try sitting next to a running clothes dryer with her (this will often lull an cranky baby to sleep). Or sit in a power room and put the fan in the ceiling on. Any humming sound is good. Even a dishwasher. Sit next to it and rock her. If this doesn't work, maybe you need to consult a doctor.

Answer 2

My youngest son was like that and we found out he had colic. What worked for us, most of the time, was caraway seed tea. Just get some caraway seeds and boil them as you would regular tea and give some to your baby in a bottle. It somehow soothes the stomach. Also, I used simithicone drops, on occasion, and that helped with both colic and gasiness. (You can usually find that in the same area of the store with Pepto-Bismal, etc.). I know how frustrating it can be. There were nights I didn't get any sleep at all. Have you tried playing classical musical very quietly beside her bed?? Sometimes that is calming. My son was over all of his crying/fussiness/colic around the age of 9-10 months, if that is any comfort to you. Good luck!

Answer 3

Like Butterflies said, it could be colic. In that case, warm milk may soothe her with some (just a little honey in it) look it up on the Internet for some home remedies. Also, talk to a doctor, but there's not a lot to be done for colicy babies but patience and love.

Also, does she get gassy? Could it be her formula, some need to be put on different formula's if their allergic to the ones their on. Lay her on her stomach or side and pat her back to see if the gas passes.

What kind of bowel movements does she have, are they regular? Does she have at least one a day? Keep track, she may be impacted.

Just watch her and keep track of small things, they can tell you alot.

Answer 4

I do experience for you. Crying toddlers are the more severe... and my daughter turned right into a crier until eventually the day she became 4months old. She awakened and 5:30 screaming, cried all day, and went to sleep round useless night... up at 2am screaming and reduce back to sleep lower back until eventually 5:30. She under no circumstances whimpered, it turned right into a all out screaming crying toddler! Pedi couldn't discover some thing incorrect so we went to a GI record... he couldn't discover some thing incorrect so... I only had to attend to it the perfect i might want to and that changed into swaddling her, white noise, rocking her, and after I surely couldn't stand it anymore I placed her in her crib competently and enable her cry even as I took a breather. those were the most depressing 4mo of my existence and that i keep in mind calling my OB and telling her i didn't want my toddler anymore. She advised me if i fairly didn't want her to carry my toddler to the workplace actual now and he or she might want to help me ensure what to do. i changed into fairly on the end of the rope.... finally I only dealt with it until eventually she became 4 mo then the crying all of sudden stopped.... freaking miracle!!! all of sudden i might want to go away the homestead with both my toddlers... it changed into HEAVEN to hearken to silence!!!

Answer 5

I have to sing Yellow Submarine a million times.It's the only song that works.Mine is 4 months,now,and I have to hold him sitting up with his back against my front,arm across his belly,and rocking back and forth.Not the most fun for me,but it works wonders.I just don't know how I came up with that!

Answer 6

1. Mother of baby should put on a large tee-shirt, blouse, or shirt.
2. Take article of clothing (sleeper/etc.) that belongs to baby
and put it down the front of her tee-shirt, blouse or shirt and keep it there for a few hours...long enough for baby to recognize mother's scent.
3. Put article of clothing on baby.
4. Play classical music (soft melodies) on cd player, turned up a little more than usual. A friend of mine plugged up her vacuum cleaner and the noise of it actually calmed the baby.

Nothing to lose by trying, anyway.

Answer 7

Whenever my son is overly fussy it seems there is always a burp that needs to come out. Have you tried Mylecon drops? They work really well, and are safe to give to a newborn everytime you feed

Answer 8

Is she on formula or did you recently swich her to cow's milk? My mom had this problem with my little brother. After months of walking the floor all night, she finally found a doctor who told her to switch him to soy formula.........

If your nursing and drink a lot of milk, try cutting back. If I eat a lot of cheese, my baby will start breaking out with a little patch of eczema and get a bit of an upset stomach... guess it runs in the family.

Answer 9

try switching formula..it could be the problem of her fussyness..shes probly colicky/gassy..her tummy hurts..

Try nestle goodstart dha/ara along with dr browns wideneck anti-colic bottles and the playtex ventaire Natural shape.both reduce the air in her tummy to help stop tummy aches.

Also Hylands colic tablets work wonderfull on young newborns along with baby bliss gripe water..both help the tummy and are natural. can be found at usually any drugstore. You can also give Mylicon or little tummys gas relief.

My daughter had this problem but got over it as soon as i switched formulas( btw we went through EVERY similac and enfamil formula)

Answer 10
