Practical comforting strategies include checking the baby’s basic needs—feeding, sleep, or a clean nappy. Gentle rocking, singing, or taking your baby for a walk in a pram can also be effective. Skin-to-skin contact, swaddling and allowing babies to suck on a dummy are additional methods that may help. Cutting down on stimulation by dimming lights, turning off screens and creating a calm environment can benefit both the parent and the baby. |
