Research shows that about half of newborns cry for more than two hours every day, and one fifth of newborns cry endlessly and repeatedly, which often makes new parents very helpless. What's more, the persistent crying of newborns can easily lead to maternal fatigue and despair and lead to postpartum depression, which is very harmful to both body and mind. Crying for a long time will also lead to a series of other problems, such as breast-feeding failure, marital tension, and even violence against children.

Amanda, an expert in early education, introduced five tips for comforting newborn babies: "bag, side, shh, shake and suck". It is understood that this method comes from the clinical experience of American pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp for many years and the practical comfort case study of more than 5,000 babies.

Package: The fetus is tightly wrapped in the mother's womb. Experts believe that the "swaddling method" can make the baby feel back in the womb and gain a sense of security. The specific method is: wrap the baby with a cloth with the length and width of 1.5 meters, and try to wrap it tightly without hindering the baby's normal breathing.

Side hug: Parents often hold their baby in their arms and lie flat, but in fact it often does not help to appease the baby. American experts believe that newborn babies are actually not ready to meet the new environment. For them, coming out of the warm environment of the uterus is similar to letting ordinary humans fall from trees, which stimulates the innate "Moro reflex" of human beings, which is manifested as crying. Holding the baby vertically or sideways will turn off this reflex and let the baby calm down as soon as possible.

Voice: In fact, the environment of the fetus in the mother's body is not very quiet, including the "brushing" sound of the mother's blood vessels flowing, the sound of the mother's heart beating, the sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis, the voice of speaking and so on. The newborn baby's eardrum is thicker, which is louder for adults and may be just right for newborns. Parents can create this similar sound environment for their babies, and similar effects can be achieved by using hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, radios, dryers, running water or selecting "white noise CD". The sound of "hissing" reaches the baby's ears, which also makes the baby very useful, and they can get a sense of security from it.

Shake it: In the mother's womb, whether the mother walks, sits and watches TV or turns over when sleeping, the baby feels as comfortable as taking a boat at sea, so a gentle shake will be liked by the newborn baby. However, experts remind parents to pay attention: the amplitude of shaking the baby should be small and fast, and improper shaking may lead to physical injury or even sudden death of the baby.

Sucking: the baby began to practice sucking fingers 3 months before the expected date of delivery. Put your finger in the baby's mouth or give him a pacifier. Sucking can not only relieve the baby's hunger, but also activate the calming nerves deep in the brain, so that the baby can enter a deep calm and a satisfactory relaxation stage.
