Are you confused about why is your baby crying and not knowing how to relax him. Here is an unbelievable method to calm your baby and put him to sleep. This works best with babies from birth to 3 months old.
Dr Robert C. Hamilton of Pacific Ocean Pediatrics has been in practice in Santa Monica, CA for the past 26 years, “The technique, which I call ‘the hold’, has evolved over the years,” Dr. Hamilton. This baby is crying because he just got a shot. Not kidding!
This what Dr. Robert does to relax the baby and guess what it worked!
Pick up a crying baby.
Gently fold the baby’s arms across their chest.
Then, hold the baby at a 45-degree angle and gently rock them back-and-forth.
And shake their itty bitty tail feathers.
And this one looks as happy as a clam.
Here’s a checklist so you can try this on a baby nearest you.
“You’re basically swaddling the child with your hands instead of using a blanket,” he said. After that holding the baby directly upright can become a tricky balancing act, which is why a 45-degree angle gives the perfect amount of control. Then use fleshy part of your hand as the perfect little seat for a baby bottom.
“I use this technique all day long when I’m working with infants, and it’s really effective,” he added. It works best with babies from birth to 3 months old. “And it can work for premature babies, but you have to be especially gentle.”
From bawling to being happily folded up like a little envelope.
This clam approves. “I think the position reminds them of being at home in the uterus,” Dr. Hamilton said. So relaxed. So soothed.
