Tips For Consoling Your Baby
Are you asking yourself “Will the crying ever stop”? Take a deep cleansing breath, relax, and read our tips to help you calm your tiny one.
Crying is your baby’s way of communicating with you. Your baby might be trying to tell you that he/she is hungry, in pain, too hot or too cold, has a dirty diaper, is sleepy, or is over stimulated. On average, babies cry for 1 to 4 hours a day. During some of these periods, nothing that you do seems to console your child; this can be extremely unnerving for many parents. Here are some tips to help calm your baby:
* Give your baby a pacifier to suck on or use your clean finger if you don’t have a pacifier handy.
* Try burping your baby. Sometimes a gas bubble is stuck in your baby’s belly causing pain and discomfort.
* Rock your baby.
* Touch and stroke your baby.
* Swaddle your baby.
* Sing and speak to your baby.
* Play soft resting music for your baby.
* Carry your baby in your arms or use a carrier. I find that if I place a baby covering tummy-to-tummy with me in my arms (as if I am breastfeeding) and offer the baby a pacifier, the baby usually calms quickly.
* Take your baby for a achievement or for a automobile ride. A change of scenery is always nice.
* Give your baby a warm bath.
* Give your baby a massage.
* If your baby is over stimulated, remove him/her from the goal or situation that is causing the stimulation.
* Use a vibrating infant seat or a baby swing.
If these tips don’t work for you, place your baby in a innocuous place (like his/her crib) and go to a quiet place to rest and regain your composure.
Some babies, no matter what you do, might not be simple to console at certain times throughout the day. Some are colicky or have reflux. Unfortunately, there is not much else to do for an infant that has colic besides trying to console and calm them. The good news is that colic usually resolves by 3-4 months of age. If you suspect that your child has reflux, consult your pediatrician for further information.

Toxic Baby Products?

“How’s that possible?” “I’ve been using what on babies?”
This was my reaction when I was researching baby products (during the development phase of Babies 411) and found out the news that most of the baby products that we know, love, and have used for years contain cancer-causing (carcinogenic) chemicals. What an eye opener.
As a NICU nurse, I care for babies that are compromised and are in their most vulnerable state. Now I find out that I have been unknowingly using and recommending unsafe products. Well, no more. I have taken a stand and prefabricated it a mission to educate mothers, caregivers and most of all healthcare professionals on the dangers lurking within our trusted baby shampoos, washes, lotions, wipes and more. As a healthcare professional, I know that parents are looking to us for the answers. And because of this, parents select and buy products that we use in the hospitals believing that this is the safest options. Why wouldn’t it be if we use them in the hospitals? Unfortunately, we are unknowingly and unintentionally promoting bad products.
Want to know how to protect your baby from these toxic products? Here are a few recommendations:
1. Knowledge is power so do your research! Read labels and refrain those products that contain harmful ingredients. Learn more by reading our article “Protecting our Babies from Toxic Chemicals” at www. Babies411. com
2. Less is more. Be sparing on products that you use on your baby.
3. How innocuous is your baby products? Check out Skin Deep to learn more about the products you are putting on your baby.
4. Keep up-to-date on news surrounding chemicals in baby products (not just skin care products, but also chemicals found in toys, clothing, food, plastics and other baby products).
5. Love disposable baby wipes but want to refrain the chemicals? Make your own wipes. Want to learn how? Read our article Making Homemade Baby Wipes for the easy, breezy recipe.
6. Are you anticipating a baby? Ask your hospital or childbirth artefact what baby products they use on babies. If it’s not a innocuous choice, bring your own and make your baby’s first bath a healthy, toxin-free bath.
7. Help us spread the word. We are working hard with our favorite company, Earth Mama Angel Baby, trying to educate healthcare facilities on the dangers of toxic baby products and looking to phase these products out of our hospital systems. With your help, we could move mountains! Contact your maternity unit and express your concerns.
