"What Should I Do When My Child Always Cries?"
It can be very frustrating for new mothers when their babies cry constantly, often leading to helplessness and affecting the baby's throat and development, while also causing noise in the home. Therefore, when a baby cries frequently, mothers should identify the reasons and make adjustments accordingly. If the baby is hungry, they should be fed immediately. After feeding, the baby should be checked for any gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, mothers should communicate with and encourage their babies regularly.
1. "White Noise": Create a continuous and uniform "white noise" by turning on a fan, placing the cradle near a dishwasher, setting the vacuum cleaner to a low volume, or tuning the radio to a station with no signal. This can help simulate the comfortable sound environment of the womb for the baby.
2. Swaddling: Although swaddling feels restrictive to mothers, it can provide a familiar and comforting environment for crying babies, similar to their narrow womb. It's important to swaddle the baby tightly enough to make them feel comfortable but not too tight to restrict their movement.
3. Pacifiers: Sucking on a pacifier is a strong instinct for babies. When a baby is crying uncontrollably, offering a pacifier can help calm them down. Additionally, medical studies have found that pacifiers can help prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
4. Repeated Guidance and Encouragement: Repeatedly guiding and encouraging children to explain their reasons and reasoning can help them understand the importance of justifying their actions. It's important to give them time and opportunities to learn and practice this skill. Encouraging them to explain their reasons after successful experiences will further reinforce this awareness.
5. Improving Parent-Child Relationships: Encouraging children to explain their reasons can also lead to stronger parent-child relationships. By respecting our children, we teach them to respect others. In turn, respecting our children builds their trust in us and helps them follow rules in the future, as they know that we mean what we say.
