Babies need a Change

Give the baby a fresh face and a new set of arms

If you have been struggling to comfort your wailing baby in vain, you should consider handing her over to somebody else � the other parent, a friend or a relative. Your inability to comfort your child invariably leads you to exhibit signs of stress and fatigue. Your baby will be quick to notice your tension and frustration and will respond with more tears. It will be a relief for both you and the baby if somebody else takes over. Remember that sometimes a new broom sweeps clean.

Provide some entertainment

Some babies have a low threshold for boredom. They are not content to sit and watch the world go by. They want to be a part of things and you have to ensure that they are kept busy. You have to make the effort to include them in your daily routine. This may involve carrying them around and explaining to them what you are up to, finding toys and other objects in the environment to keep them amused.

Give the baby some fresh air

Taking your baby outdoors will often dramatically improve her mood. Taking her for a drive or a walk in her baby carrier or push-chair should produce results. Even if it is dark out, streetlights and the sight and sound of traffic should distract the baby.
