You know how tough it is when your baby won't stop crying. You may be worried that something is wrong with your child, that you'll lose your cool, that your parenting skills aren't up to the job, or that you'll never connect with your baby. But you can handle it! Learning the right techniques can help soothe an upset, unresponsive, or colicky baby while keeping you calm and in control. It is common to feel frustration, anxiety, and even anger when faced with a crying baby. Equally frustrating is a baby who seems indifferent, upset, or who won't cuddle or make eye contact with you. In stressful situations like this, you need to develop some strategies for taking care of yourself. When you're calm and centered, you'll be better able to figure out what's going on with your child and soothe his or her cries.
