  1. Vibrate Them: Consider holding a crying baby over your shoulder or in your lap and gently vibrate them to make them comfortable.
  2. Use a Toy: Use a ringing or a laughing toy for calming down a crying baby by vibrating it in front of them.

  3. Swaddle Away: Consider wrapping your baby in a thin, lightweight blanket that will provide them a cozy feel, prevent their limbs from twitching and make them nap.
  4. Shushing: Making a ‘shhhhh’ sound helps to calm down a crying baby since it mimics the whooshing noise that they felt in the womb.
  5. Solve the Issue of their Cry: Try to determine the reason behind their discomfort and try to solve it as early as possible to calm your baby.
