SOOTHING TIPS

❤ Don’t ignore your newborn’s wails. The sooner you react, the sooner she will learn to feel safe and secure. She feels your love when you pay attention and calm her lovingly, and the bond between you intensifies.

❤ There is no harm in offering her a dummy.

❤ Encourage your baby to pacify herself by bringing her hands close to her mouth, or by encouraging her to rub her hands on a soft blanket.

❤ Bath with your baby. She’ll find the contact with your body and the warm water comforting and relaxing.

❤ Pat her back rhythmically and firmly, and sing to her.

❤ Never view her crying as a means of manipulating you, or label it as naughtiness, she is too small and dependent on you for that.
