The baby won’t stop crying

If your baby has been fed and changed but still will not settle, here are some other ideas. You might not be able
to stop your baby crying but you can provide comfort and reassurance.

• Give the baby a bottle of cooled boiled water.
  
  
• Gently rub the baby’s tummy.
  
  
• If your baby uses a dummy then offer a dummy - sucking is a comfort for babies.
  
  
• Walk or rock the baby snuggled up close to your chest so the baby can feel your heartbeat.
  
  
• Take the baby for a walk in the fresh air.
  
  
• Sing or talk to the baby.
  
  
• Wrap the baby in a soft blanket.
  
  
• Gently stroke the baby in a relaxing and rhythmical way.
