Babies generally cry because they're hungry, uncomfortable, sick, hurt or looking for affection. But sometimes, you can try everything and your baby won't stop crying. <br />Here are some tips that may help soothe and calm your baby down.<br /><br />• Snuggle your baby close to your chest.<br />• Check your baby's diaper. Make sure it's clean and dry.<br />• Feed and burp her.<br />• Wrap your baby in a soft blanket. Keep him warm and comfortable - but not too hot. Do not put your baby in crib or bassinette wrapped in a blanket.<br />• Sing to your baby or play soft music or other relaxing sounds.<br />• Offer a soother or teething ring.<br />• Offer a favourite blanket or soft toy while cuddling.<br />• Provide gentle motion. <br />• Walk with or rock your baby.<br />• Use a baby swing (if you have one).<br />• Go for a walk in a stroller.<br />• Go for a car ride.<br /><br />If these approaches don't work, don’t blame yourself or your child. Crying is a normal stage that will pass with time.
