Diet and Health

BOIL RICE - After you have it boiling, skim some of the water off the top of the pot and let it cool. Once it has reached room temperature, give it to the baby in a bottle or in a cup for a larger child. This works well if they have an upset stomach or gas.

HOLD THEM - While dancing gently or rocking and signing soft nursery rhymes in their ear. My son loved this when he was a baby and calmed down quickly, the only problem was that he never wanted me to put him down or sit down!

LAY them on your chest if they are babies. Babies, especially the tiny ones, love to lay on your chest and listen to your heart beat.

FANS - Babies love the soothing sound of a fan and the light breeze for some reason, I do not know why. Put them near a fan so that it is not blowing directly on them, or even in another room with the door open. Supervise, you don’t want them to touch it or have it blow directly on them!

If they will not calm down, strip them down and check over their entire body, there just might be something bothering them. Once a piece of lint string had wrapped around my sons toe inside his pajamas and was irritating him. Have they pooped yet today, if not may be they need help, that is always something to consider?  And of course, have they eaten recently, remember don’t let them get too hungry or tired or you will have a fussy baby or child.
