Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sing or talk to the baby in a soothing voice. Gently rub or stroke the baby’s back, chest or tummy. Offer a pacifier or try to distract the baby with a rattle or toy. Swaddle the baby with a soft blanket.
Detailed explanation-2: -When responding to your child’s cries, try to meet her most pressing need first. If she’s cold and hungry and her diaper is wet, warm her up, change her diaper, and then feed her. If there’s a shrieking or panicked quality to the cry, consider if a piece of clothing or something else is making her uncomfortable.
