Advice for Crying babies
By Roger Kingston
Getting a Crying Baby to Sleep Assuming you’ve met his basic needs and he isn’t ill, hungry or in need of a clean nappy, you could try some of the following tried and tested methods for calming your baby: • Put him in a sling and carry him close to you • Try rocking him. You can hold him in your arms and walk around with him or rock together in a rocking chair. Or you can rock him in his cradle or pram • Try swaddling him. Some babies feel happier firmly wrapped in a cotton sheet. Swaddling often calms babies because of the comforting contact with something warm and soft and the sense of being held firmly • Take him out for a walk in the fresh air, either in a sling or in his pram • Try a car ride round the block. However, this is a desperate measure and not one to get into the habit of using! • Run a warm bath and get into it with your baby • Sing to your baby; it may at least drown out his cries for a while and help keep you calm • Try leaving him to cry for a few minutes; some babies actually need to cry themselves to sleep • Talk to your friends who have babies; you are not alone. • Ask your parents what they did. • If things don’t improve, consider taking your baby to a cranial osteopath. In many cases a baby is uncomfortable when laying down at night and this is often because they have had a part of their body strained during birth and osteopathic treatment specifically adapted for babies is safe and effective. Roger Kingston has over 17 years of treating babies with osteopathy and he is a father himself. Do not suffer in silence when help is but a phone call away. If after examining your baby I find that he needs medical help I will refer you immediately to your GP or Paediatrician. In most cases we can help with gentle paediatric osteopathic intervention. www.babyosteopath.com

I really enjoyed the article. In the long ago past, I was the best baby burper of all, often the major source of a crying baby.
Nothing worse than a crying baby... and not able to comfort them to stop. So very sad. Just wish they could tell us how to help.

Hi Roger, Great Intel. gilbertg
Its many years since I had to deal with a crying baby, but I remember all too well how frustrating it can be. My sympathies to those who are currently in this situation.
reminds me of my children's 'crying' years..

Very nice intel, thanks.
Many babies, especially newborns, don't want to sleep on their back. It is unnatural for a newborn. And there are also babies who cry a lot whatever you do and in this case see an osteopath, it can really solve the problem. (same for digestion problems for newborns and infants).
