 "For Crying Out Loud, What Can I Do?" First, CHECK the baby. Is the baby sick? Is there a fever? Is the baby hungry? Does the baby need to be burped? Does the baby need to suck? Is the baby too hot or too cold? Does the baby need to be changed? Does the baby need to feel close? Is the baby overtired or overstimulated? Does the baby just need to cry? Next, try to SOOTHE the baby. Rock the baby. Walk with the baby. Swaddle the baby. Play some music. Rub the baby's back. Give the baby a pacifier. Read or sing to the baby. Leave a light on. Take the baby or a ride. GET HELP IF NOTHING WORKS! Call the parent if you are a caregiver or babysitter. Get someone to keep company. Telephone a friend. Ask for help. Don't pick up the baby if you are frustrated or angry.  | Crying and SBS | Tips for Crying | | Return Home | About SBS | About the Campaign | What's New? | Great Links | |
