Unfortunately sometimes a baby will just cry for no reason what so ever, and that can be very hard to listen to as a parent. However if the necessities are met... Clean diaper, Just eaten, Burped... Then there are a few things you can try.



Some infants love to ride in the car. Some parents will bundle up their little one and go for a night drive to lull the little one asleep. Or, if you don't want to drive try a rocking chair and singing very softly. Your infant has gotten use to your voice from the inside and sometimes the familiar and calm sound can also lull the baby back to sleep.



Finally there's the little dance you can do with your infant. Holding your baby with his or her head over your heart, fully supported by your hand on their bottom and your other hand on their back you stand and sway very softly and slowly side to side making small horizontal figure eights with your body. You can try singing during this as well, and alternate soothing pats to the infants back and bottom. This motion normally lulls little ones to sleep.



Good Luck!!!

If she has eaten, she isn't hungry.

If you just changed her diaper, she is dry.

If she is not running a fever, she is not ill.

Has she had a recent bowel movement?

Is she teething? The correct amount of children's Tylenol will help with that.

She could just have a stomach ache or have colic. When my daughter had an issue, I would take a hot water bottle, fill with warm water, wrap in a towel and lay her on my lap on her stomach on top of the hot water bottle and just rub her back and sing to her. It helped. Sitting in a rocking chair and rocking her could also help. Sometimes they just cry. Hang in there.

Change diaper,feed her, put her in soft pjs, swaddle her(if she is young enough...you didn't put age) she may be teething, going through a growth spurt, haveing gas pains..or just over tired.



Try a warm bath,pumping legs, feeding,rocking, singing, carride, lightly bouncing on the edge of the bed,.....if you get to frustrated put her in a safe place like her crib or playpen and walk to another room for 5min or just outside the front door...then go back and try again. Call your mom for ideas,your doc.



Somtimes babies just cry....all you can do is let them know you are there.

Just be patient and know that you can do this! It WILL stop eventually. If you can't take it any more, pass him/her off to someone else and let them try. Sing a song (mine liked Twinkle, Twinkle), go for a drive. If all else fails, put baby in the crib and take a break for a minute. Baby may be overstimulated.



Good luck. You CAN do this! It does get better!!

1.) Sometimes your baby can be fussy because he's tired, hungry, gassy, overstimulated, needs a diaper change, or just wants to be held.

2.) Or the little things may bother her, like a hair wrapped around her finger, or the way the cat smells.

3.) If you're breastfeeding, then maybe it's something in your diet that's giving him a tummyache. If you're formula feeding, it could be the brand of milk he doesn't like.

4.) Maybe she's overtired. To help put her to sleep, it can help to take her on a car ride, or to turn a vacuum on, as this can soothe babies right away.

5.) It could be possible that your baby is colic or has reflux. This can cause him to cry.

6.) If something just doesn't feel right to you, then she could be getting sick. Check her temperature regularly.



Good luck!

Tummy pain? Lay her on her back and try moving her knees up to her chest, opposite each other, like she is riding a bike. Sometimes this will help gas pain. I always get my son to fart this way.

How old. The thing that helped me most when my daughter was young was giong to Walgreens and getting the gas drops. Some times they might have a tummy ache and these drops were SAVIORS!!! Also, if it is a new born, hold the baby. Tummy on your chest. When you lay them down to sleep, try on their tummy instead of back. Good luck.

Sometimes a car ride will help, but sometimes nothing will help at all.
