And babies cry \u2013 a lot! That\u2019s how they communicate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Still, you\u2019ve tried everything but nothing is working and you\u2019re at your wit&#8217;s end. Every parent has been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Those frustrating moments are when it is most important to stay calm in order to calm your baby. As a parent, you should have a plan in advance so you know what you\u2019ll do when your baby cries uncontrollably. Anyone who helps you care for your baby should also know what they\u2019ll do, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Parents and caregivers should know to&nbsp;<strong>never shake a baby, throw a baby or put them down roughly.<\/strong>&nbsp;So, what do you do instead? Here are tips and resources that anyone can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make a plan.<\/strong>\u00a0Every baby cries so parents and caregivers need to be ready and know how to respond to help them think clearly during a life\u2019s stressful moments. Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado has a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/globalassets\/parenting-advice\/calm-a-crying-baby\/make-a-plan.pdf\">checklist and template<\/a>\u00a0to help you plan to advance.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calm yourself,&nbsp;<\/strong>before you can calm your baby. You might need a few minutes to stretch, exercise or listen to music. If you need to leave your baby alone, put them down in a crib without anything else \u2013 no blankets, no bottles, nothing \u2013 and go to another room. Open a window and get some air.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Breathe.&nbsp;<\/strong>A few deep breaths may be exactly what you need. Give it try and see how you feel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call a friend.&nbsp;<\/strong>When you\u2019re feeling stressed, call a friend who can listen to you and provide emotional support. When your friend calls you in a moment of stress, make time for them, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">These tips are so important because shaking a baby, throwing a baby or putting them down roughly can cause severe head trauma.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Why is my baby crying?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Before babies can talk they cry to tell you that they need something.
