About this deal
There may be times of the day when your baby tends to cry a lot and cannot be comforted. Early evening is the most common time for this to happen. If you do not have anyone who can take care of your baby for a short time and the crying is making you stressed, put your baby in their cot or pram, make sure they're safe, close the door, go into another room and try to calm yourself down.
You can go to a breastfeeding drop-in group and ask for help if there's one available in your local area.
For example, this might be after every feed or during the evening. This can help your health visitor or GP to work out if there's a particular cause for the crying.
Thanks to the Magic Tears Cry Babies App, you can play games, explore and learn something new, all while have a great time! The crying can go on for some hours. There may be little you can do except try to comfort your baby and wait for the crying to pass.Some babies cry and seem unsettled around the time of a feed. If you're breastfeeding, you may find that improving your baby's positioning and attachment helps them settle. Undress your baby and massage them gently and firmly. Avoid using any oils or lotions until your baby's at least a month old. Talk soothingly as you do it and keep the room warm enough. Some health centres and clinics run baby massage courses. For information, ask your midwife or health visitor. Cry Baby is a character whom Melanie described as “a child who experiences adult things.” However, there are some things in Cry Baby’s story that Melanie did not experience herself.
