Many new parents are troubled by this matter:
Obviously, he can't leave the child, but the child does not seem to be "appreciative", and always suddenly cries. When you go to the park, you will cry, you will cry when you sleep at home, and you will cry even if you hug it, leaving your parents at a loss.
In fact, it is not difficult for children to stop crying and reappear smiling faces.
The following two tricks make the "crying ghost" in the family become a "laughing angel" in minutes.
See if your baby is feeling well
The baby is unhappy, most of the reason is that the physiological needs are not met, eating and drinking Lasa, and even the body is uncomfortable, the baby will use crying to ask parents for help.
The following three situations are problems that babies often encounter:
1. Didn't get enough sleep
Whether sleep is sufficient is crucial to the child's growth and development, physical health, the baby sleeps well, and the natural spirit is a hundred times.

If your baby sleeps less than recommended each day, moms and dads will have to consider whether that's the reason.
Moreover, it is not enough to have enough sleep, but also to ensure regular sleep. From the birth of the baby, parents must cultivate the baby's circadian rhythm, so that the baby can sleep peacefully at night, and the baby can be more active during the day.
2. Irregular feeding
The absence of "on-demand feeding" is also a cause for your baby's unhappiness.
Babies under 6 months of age are suitable for breastfeeding. At birth, the mother needs to feed according to the needs of the baby, and the feeding process takes 30 to 40 minutes, or even longer.
When the baby is 2 to 3 weeks old, the weight also increases, and the interval between feeding can be extended appropriately, once 2 to 3 hours during the day and 3 to 4 hours at night, and the feeding process takes about 20 minutes.
After 6 months of birth, complementary foods can be added to breastfeeding.
Parents can refer to the diet recommended by the Chinese Nutrition Society to achieve "balanced nutrition and on-demand feeding" to help their babies thrive.
3. Baby's stomach is uncomfortable, flatulence
The baby's stomach is uncomfortable, the stool is abnormal, the number of times is rare or the number of times is small and dry.
Some experts believe that formula feeding is more likely to cause abnormal stools in babies than breastfeeding. Therefore, sticking to breastfeeding, or choosing the right formula for babies who can't breastfeed, is more beneficial to your baby's gastrointestinal health.
Flatulence is also one of the reasons why babies cry, generally related to milk powder, milk, because not all milk powder and milk are suitable for their own babies.
Whether the baby's emotional needs are met
In addition to physiological needs, when the baby's emotional needs are not met, they will also use crying to attract the attention of parents and parents.
If parents turn a blind eye, or coax their children to say: don't cry, don't cry, don't hurt, don't hurt, etc., it will bring negative effects to the baby's emotions.
Let children go from crying to happy, we must follow one principle: gentle, firm, not tough.
That is, to allow the child to cry, and to accompany the child when the child cries. But if the reason why the baby is crying cannot be compromised by adults, the correct thing to do is to guide the baby gently.
Through emotional guidance, parents can comfort their children and slow down the baby's crying, but also cultivate the baby's strong and independent personality.
