When all the wahs start getting your baby (and you) down, it’s time to take a new approach to soothing those tears
Every baby will have his own set of cries and you’ll get used to understanding them.
Try massaging his tummy in a clockwise direction, gently stroking his legs and arms, and tracing tiny circles on his palms and the soles of his feet.A gassy baby will be grouchy, so ease trapped wind by resting him on his tummy. Remember the scene in the classic Three Men And A Baby when Ted Danson takes the baby in the shower to stop her crying? Not far off the mark.
‘Between four and six months, your little one can learn to self-soothe,’ says Megan Faure, author of The Babysense Secret . ‘When your baby comes into a light sleep state, he may cry out. It’s not because he needs you, but because he’s alert.’At around 8-10 months, babies quite often develop separation anxiety and cry when you leave the room. He needs to learn you exist even when he can’t see you.
If your tot’s toys are always out, they’ll lose some of their magic. Keep a few treasures back so you can use them as a distraction.
