Crying child: how to console him?

A crying child is always a big problem for others. Grandmothers clutch at pills, dads try to run away. And very often, adults begin to swear among themselves, and there is no one to calm the child. But crying for a child is a completely normal state, a reaction to the outside world and the internal state, and this is how you need to react to it.

Reasons for crying baby

Why can a baby cry? There are many reasons. But experts distinguish the following as the main ones:

1. The kid is hungry. This is a completely natural, natural and understandable desire. An empty stomach creates inconvenience even for serious adults. And for a baby who has no idea how to cope with this scourge, hunger is a serious insoluble problem. Children of any age begin to act up and worry if they do not receive food on time. But naturally, seniors may just ask. And if the child does not speak, then he can report his problem only by crying. Moreover, physiological problems for him are so far the most important.

2. A small child may cry if he is uncomfortable. This refers to the inconvenience in a purely physical plane. That is, he has a dirty diaper that irritates delicate skin. Or a crying child feels uncomfortable in clothes: she can rub or “bite”.

3. The little person became cold or hot. Usually, kids, oddly enough, are not too demanding on temperature. But if the child is hot, he will feel uncomfortable. Also, some children worry if they feel cool. Any parents need to adapt to the baby, and since he still can’t talk about their addictions, you just need to monitor his behavior and reaction to different situations. This usually happens by itself.

4. A crying child often just wants to handle. There he is comfortable, comfortable and warm, there he feels protected. Do not ignore this need. After all, it helps the baby grow up bold and confident. Because it’s easier to be strong, if you have someone to lean on. No need to be afraid to spoil the baby. A little time will pass, some five to six years, and, quite possibly, you yourself will beg him to climb onto the handles.

5. The kid is tired. Most likely from the abundance of impressions. He already wants to sleep, but it is difficult for him to switch due to imperfection of the nervous system. Very often, if you interrupt a dream, a crying child can not calm down for a long time.

6. The baby may feel unwell. But the crying of a sick child is special. If you suspect a disease, you need to call a doctor.

7. Maybe the baby also cry and just like that, for no particular reason. Children have crying episodes caused by colic. They usually last about three hours, occur three times a week. Such attacks affect parents very hard, but usually they end by the age of three months.

How to calm a baby?

If the crying child cannot tell what happened, then there are several ways to try. First of all, feed him. If hunger is the cause of the crying, the baby will calm down and fall asleep. Then change the diaper and change clothes. If something in the clothes prevented him, then this reason will also be eliminated, and he will calm down. Take on the handle. The child will satisfy his need for communication and protection. Often dummies or drinking bottles help, because little children calm down by sucking something.

All the children are crying. And the amount and strength of crying depends primarily on the character. All that is required of others is to try to understand the baby and satisfy his need.
