Babies have their own good reason. But even the most observant parents can't read their babies' minds, and babies don't have the words to tell us what's wrong.

1. Give your baby a pacifier

Taking a nipple shows a sucking motion that can stabilize a baby's heart rate, relax the stomach, and soothe tremors. Give the baby a pacifier and parents can take the baby for a walk.

2. Hugging and being close to children

Newborns love to feel as warm and secure as they do in the womb: Try swaddling your baby in a blanket, leaving him or her, or hugging him against your shoulder to recreate that feeling. Some babies find swaddling or cuddling too restrictive and respond better to other forms of comfort such as rhythmic movements or sucking on a pacifier.

3. Music and Rhythm

Try playing music, sing a lullaby or your favorite song, and dance around the room. Experiment with different types of music to see what your baby responds to.

4. Fresh air

When your baby is fussy, around your place there are many parks and entertainment areas that are airy and fresh. You should take your child out there to: look around, look up at the sky, talk to her about the world around your home, whether it's a quiet place or a busy street

5. Use warm water

Like fresh air, warm water can soothe fussiness, creating a feeling of relaxation and comfort. For a variation on bathing, try holding your baby in your arms under a gentle running shower. Don't be aggressive if your baby doesn't like noise or splashes, but some babies really do. Just make sure your shower isn't slippery, so you don't frighten your baby.

Movements that involve being held in your arms or a carrier may be enough. Other ways to get your baby moving: a rocking chair, swing, or rocking chair; Let your baby's stroller or car.

7. Baby massage

Most babies love to be touched, so massage may be essential. Don't worry about not knowing how to massage your baby, as long as they are gentle and slow, they will feel comfortable.

A child who sulks and cries a lot is not easily soothed, causing parents a lot of stress. Thankfully, as your baby gets older, she'll be better able to soothe herself and much of the crying will stop.
