James Thomas - 8/10 sturdy-searching yet i'm now no longer a enormous fan of James. Thomas James rather? Logan Connor - 4/10 each and each and every of those names are very favorite and present day-day Mason Ryan - 4/10 They end interior of an identical sound so the flow is off Shea Padraig - 6/10 I in my opinion like it even if there ought to be countless mispronunciation Madison Chloe - 5/10 both one among those names are unique and variety of easy. no longer keen on both Holly Sophia - 9/10 Very beautiful Aoife Georgia - 5/10 LOVE Aoife. Georgia, although, is historic-formed and positively does no longer choose the flow with it. Jessica Rose - 10/10 once back, very notably

Look up "Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Karp. Amazing book and/or video.
After reading this book, my fussy baby only cries for about 10 minutes compared to the hours that other babies have.
He has the 5 S's and they work great. Once I started using them, I've noticed a huge difference in the time frame my daughter was fussy.

My daughter is 8 months old now and she has been pretty fussy lately, i just let her play, lay on the floor with her she likes to crawl all over me that usually occupies her for a while. she maybe teething so she is a little fussy because of that, did her parents advise you about some baby tylenol? if not don't, but try playing with her, she might be bord with herself, or if she eats baby food try giving her some of that, the bottle probably is not satisfing her enough.

give her a wet washcloth to chew on...
take her cloths off, they may be restricting her.
It also sounds like you may have overloaded her senses. Put her in the play pen or crib alone for a few minutes with LIGHT music or silence. It is ok if she fusses or cries, babies do that. Have you checked her temp? It is hot in most places today. just feel her head with your lips, if she feels warm, cgive her a luke warm bath. try giving her a bottle of water. use the water the partents have left for drinking, or boil some and coll it down to room temp before giving it to her.
If the wash cloth works, she is probably cutting teeth. looh for
oral gel. follow the directions. That is pretty safe, she may need tylenol, but get in touch with her parents before you give that to her unles they already gave you instructions.
Rubbing her head may comfort her too

movement or rocking sometimes helps. I hang out w/ a good friend & her 7 week old son alot & that's what we find helps w/ him. If he gets fussy we'll get up & walk around with him, rock back & forth or actually sit in a rocking chair with him. It also helps to be patting the back &/or butt while you're doing it. This is what works for us though. [[[[[ Every baby is different. ]]]]] Your cousin could also have a small case of colic too so try patting her like I mentioned...it may help w/ any gas she could have.

She may be cranky and missing her parents.
If you've played with her and fed her and changed her. When was the last time she took a nap?
You may jus tneed to put her in the crib, let her cry for 10 minutes and she'll fall asleep.

Try putting her in the pram and take her for a power walk for at least 40 min, remember to wiggle (slightly shake from side to side) the pram it helps allot.
Lay down with her and just say "shhh shhh shh" very quietly.
Get her favorte custard fill her up then try another fav food just to make shore she is full then a quiet calm warm bath (in a large sink is the best) then to bed.

She's bored and probably wants her Mommy. Think about it, if you couldn't walk, you'd be bored out of your mind, too. And your stress will communicate to her and make her unhappy. First, you need to take a couple deep breaths and chill. Find a happy spot. Then, start making faces at her and playing with her. Try tickling. There's a great game. You point your finger and weave it around, saying "Heeeere comes the beeeee... From around the barn.... With a little package..." and here you reach under her arm and tickle her while yelling UNDER ITS ARM!!! That's great for babies. They also love carried and bounced and danced with. Carry her and play.

It sounds like she is tired and the best thing to do is to rock her to sleep. My husbands daughter had colic and the only thing that made her quiet down was the vacuum cleaner running. Imagine that - the noise from the vacuum.....
