Hi
moms this is Kari St. Lois from Maple Creek Naturals (http://www.maplecreeknaturals.com).
Today I’m going to talk about tips and tricks to help calm your little one.
For those new moms that have babies you may find these tips helpful and for
those soon to be mommies take note I’m sure you will want to refer to these
tips someday.
A
crying baby can mean several things. It can mean there is some internal
discomfort such as feeling gassy or maybe a hiccup that is on strike or
maybe possible dairy and other allergies that may be causing havoc
internally. Or simply a crying baby can just simply mean they just want to
be snuggled and held and close to their mama. So let’s talk about some
snuggly tips.
The
first thing I recommend is to make sure that you have purchased a baby
sling. Babies who are held or carried are less fussy than most left in a
playpen, highchair or even an infant car seat. Second tip is aromatherapy
while rocking your baby. You can spritz some light lavender aromatherapy on
your shirt; hold your baby close and when you rock your baby your baby can
get some aromatherapy as well.
If
baby cries are creating anxiety for you you may want to soothe yourself with
some soft mellow music, use your iPod and rock your baby and try to be as
calm as possible. Please note that when mommy is anxious baby gets anxious,
they can sense mommy’s anxiety which in turn can make them cry even longer
and louder so that’s why its important to calm your anxiety. So dust off
that iPod if you are not using it.
The
third tip is to go on a walk. This creates a change of scenery and gives
baby a breath of fresh air. The fourth tip, roll baby on a work out ball
they love that. That’s if you have one, if you don’t have one go get one,
they love the soft rocking motion of a work out ball and that’s all for
today. For crying that may be related to internal discomfort I encourage
you to visit my blog over at
