Babies within one year of age do not yet know how to express themselves in clear language, so if they have physical or mental needs or are not feeling well, most of them will express themselves by crying. If parents can understand the baby’s condition and provide timely reassurance, it is believed that this will bring peace of mind to the baby, and will also be helpful to the parent-child relationship. Since babies communicate to the outside world by crying, any factor, big or small, can cause babies to cry. Perhaps the first thing parents think of when they encounter a crying baby is to stop the behavior as soon as possible; in fact, it is more important to clearly understand the “factors behind” the baby’s crying so that they can use the right methods to calm the baby and make the baby’s mood gradually smooth. Rule out illness first, parents should take the initiative to explore the message. Generally speaking, when a baby cries, the first thing that will be examined is whether it is due to illness (e.g. fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, etc.); a baby’s cries when he is sick and not feeling well are usually not the same as his normal cries, and parents or primary caregivers can easily detect the difference. Once the above factors have been ruled out, parents must then try to clarify and understand the “message” behind the crying behavior, such as wet diaper, hungry, wanting to cuddle, etc.; after all, for babies, they just want to “cry” for assistance, As long as they are satisfied, they will naturally be able to reduce the frequency of crying. Situation 1: Hungry The chances of a baby crying because he or she is hungry are very high; but in fact, before crying, the baby has already conveyed his or her desire to eat through some tiny or unusual movements, such as neck or body twisting, finger touching the mouth, mouth slightly open or even spitting out the tongue, etc. If the parents still do not notice these movements, the baby will not be able to recognize them and will not want to eat. If parents still do not notice these signs, when the baby endures hunger for too long and can not stand it, it will explode emotionally and cry. [Suggested soothing method] Parents should closely observe the baby’s state before and after drinking milk or eating side dishes, and then grasp its behavioral pattern, and slowly meet the baby’s dietary needs at the right time. He reminds that we should avoid letting the baby get used to eating after crying. In the long run, it may make him skip the small actions in front of him and directly develop the pattern of crying to ask for something to eat, which is not helpful for the development of future eating habits. Situation 2: wet diapers Baby wearing diapers for a long time, the little butt in a damp, hot, semi-enclosed space, not to mention repeated contact with excreta, these stimuli will be on the baby’s delicate, fragile skin caused by discomfort, naturally triggered by the emotions of crying. [Suggested Pacification Method] Each baby’s tolerance level is different, and the frequency of replacement time varies slightly. But in principle, parents are advised to take the initiative to check at any time, as long as they notice that the diaper is wet or the baby is not too comfortable, they can change the clean diaper; in addition to alleviating the discomfort, it also helps to prevent the occurrence of diaper rash. Situation 3: tired and playful I believe that parents have encountered such a situation: the baby obviously looks tired, but because there are too many things around him to attract him, he finds it very interesting, and the tail is bad and minced, with an insect front peptide to knock the series of multi-color oxime colonization. The suggested soothing method is that parents should take the initiative to detect signs of fatigue in their babies, such as irritability, eye rubbing, yawning, etc. Afterwards, they should gradually reduce the number of elements around them that will attract their babies or lower the level of excitement in playing, so that they can slowly calm down and learn not to continue to play; At the same time to arrange the “rituals” of going to sleep, such as bathing, changing pajamas, lying down, listening to stories, etc., so that the baby knows that tired, do these things, is the need to sleep, rest. Situation 4: Need for companionship Some babies may cry or scream, but they may simply want or like the company of their family members. Just having a family member by your side, listening to sounds, smelling smells, etc., can give your baby a sense of peace of mind. In addition, some babies may also cry when they are bored playing by themselves just to attract the attention of their family members. [Suggested Pacifying Method] We suggest that you set aside time every day to play and talk with your baby on a regular basis; however, don’t put this responsibility only on mom or dad, it’s best for parents to take turns taking care of your baby to share the pressure, and the baby can also cultivate a close relationship with his or her parents at the same time. Situation 5: Colic Sometimes babies will cry because of colic for unknown reasons; in his clinic experience, this type of colic is most common in the afternoon or evening, so it is often seen during this time that anxious parents bring their babies to the clinic. [Suggested Pacification Method] Since the cause is not clear, parents are generally advised to consult a doctor directly; however, the following conditions can be examined at home: whether or not the brand of milk powder has been changed recently, the situation of adapting to by-products, whether or not there is gastroesophageal reflux, and the state of defecation, etc.; inform the physician of the condition at the time of consultation for reference in diagnosis and treatment. Condition 6: Drinking milk without burping This usually happens to babies who are mainly fed with formula milk. When babies drink milk without burping, the gastrointestinal tract is easily distended and uncomfortable, so naturally there is a greater chance of crying. Suggested soothing method: After your baby has had a full glass of milk, parents must remember to help burp until they are sure that the baby is really burping out before stopping. In addition, if you find that your baby is prone to flatulence, in addition to burping, you should also pay attention to whether it is caused by other factors, such as the nipple does not fit (leading to inhalation of too much air). Condition 7: Large temperature difference Babies’ body temperature is similar to that of adults, but their ability to regulate their body temperature is still immature; if they encounter an environment with a large temperature difference, such as too hot or too cold, their bodies will have difficulty adapting to the difference, so they will easily become uncomfortable and cry. In addition, parents are often worried about their babies catching a cold, help them wear too many clothes, prompting the body temperature is slightly higher than the external environment temperature difference, but also easy to cause the baby’s discomfort. [Suggested Pacifying Method] In addition to avoiding bringing babies into too hot or too cold environments, in terms of baby clothing, actually wearing the same number of pieces as adults is good, at most, bring a small jacket to prepare for use. Situation 8: Rejection of the environment Each baby’s natural temperament is different, some people are more sensitive to the external environment; when the environment will interfere with him or cause him to be unpleasant or uncomfortable factors, the baby will be very direct with the way of crying, to express his “dislike”. For example, originally the baby is sleeping, but parents in the vicinity of turning on the lights, talking, some babies do not like this feeling, will wake up to send out cries. [Suggested Pacification Method] Parents must observe the baby’s traits to understand his tolerance and sensitivity to the people and things around him, in order to give or create a suitable environment for the baby to put his mind at ease. Condition 9: Teething When babies reach six months old, they will start to develop their baby teeth; some babies will have what is known as “teething pain”, where the gums are swollen and painful, and they will not be able to eat, so they will be prone to crying and screaming. Suggested soothing method] Some parents may use gauze towels soaked in boiling water to massage the baby’s gums, which is more or less soothing. However, it is still recommended to consult a pediatric dentist directly. Condition 10: Sleeping habits Babies have their own personalities and of course different sleeping habits. Some babies can sleep well when they lie down flat and covered with a small quilt, but some need to wrap their entire body (along with their arms and legs) with a towel to sleep; if they don’t do this, they will get irritable and cry. [Suggested soothing method] Parents must understand the characteristics of the baby, as long as he favors a certain action, posture will not cause harm, can try to cooperate.
