Thanks for watching! Which soothing tip are you going to use with your little one? Don't forget to get your free 0 - 12 months old developmental milestone chart here: brightestbeginning.com/checklist/
Not exactly a soothing method and no one seems to know this one, but it really helps us when our newborn reaches the level of crying that takes 5-10 mins to calm down when using Emma's above methods. My husband discovered that holding baby tighly in his arms (cradle or chest to chest) and doing a box squat (using a bed as the "box" in case you lose balance) two or three times works to sort of "snap" her out of the crying fit. She suddenly goes from screaming to quiet and calmer. Then he'd move on to the other soothing methods like in the videos, or address the reason why she was crying in the first place (hungry, overtired, etc). So if your baby is crying uncontrollably and the soothing methods in Emma's videos take too long to calm them, this might be a good way to speed up the calming down phase and get to the soothing phase quicker. My midwife also gave us a tip that sometimes walking out in the cold suddenly for a few seconds helps do the same effect as well. So I guess it's sort of like a gentle way of "shocking" baby back to her senses, sort of like how you'd slap a hysterical person in the face 😂
This video does exactly what it says! After 2 hours of an unsettling 7 week old. I tried Position 2 and he instantly calmed down and was asleep within 20 mins as I’m writing this! Thank you so much!!!
Definitely works! My daughter loves it when I press my lips to her ear and shush. I think the skin to skin, plus the warmth of my breath, plus how LOUD it is, all works to instantly soothe her. She'll go from screaming to cuddling in seconds sometimes.
Omg I love you for leaving this comment! Was absolutely desperate and just randomly tried this. My son went from hysterical to asleep in actual seconds ❤❤❤
I would like to add that in Dr. Harvey Karp’s book “Happiest Baby on the Block” that the 5 S’s are traditionally done in the order she mentioned, though he emphasizes that every baby has a special combination of those 5 S’s that will need to be done in a certain order specific to the individual baby. Some babies want a pacifier first while some start to settle down with a swaddle first in the combo. He says in his book that it’s like building a tiered cake, and the strongest wants/needs support the other needs specific to the baby’s personal taste! Remember that it takes time to learn what a new baby wants, and it will be okay! I hope this helps someone out there!
Thank you for these tips!! Something I found was that I was trying different techniques too quickly. I learned to stick with the technique for a solid minute or two before trying something different to sooth. It takes my baby a minute to "reset". If I slowed down, a lot of times it was working but I changed things too quickly for it to work. Good luck mamas ❤️
Squats. When nothing else works, I hold her close and do squats. She immediately stops crying and stays relaxed. UPDATE: took baby in for routine shots and the squats even helped calm her immediately after 😅
@@SipLikeTea I've got her scooped up with one hand behind the back of her head, and the other under her butt and she's looking over one shoulder. Then I slowly do squats down and up. She's had some severe meltdowns in the past month but immediately stops crying every time I start my squats. Usually she'll stay calm long enough after that we can get her nursing again or move on to something else to keep her calm. The leg workout is a nice side effect too.
For anyone else dealing with this -- try the "Halo" Swaddler!! It allows for their arms to be either wrapped up or free to console themselves with. It's really the main swaddle we use now, because it's so much easier to slowly transition out of without startling him (unless they've been soiled and need a wash, then we resort to a standard swaddle blanket)!
@@arifulification literally no one does that with a swaddle, I definitely don't and many other parents don't either so don't say it's commonly used now when it's not
Thank you for this video, last night was rough, I was losing my mind. My husband came to the rescue and did the swaddle one, and she settled so fast. This is so much harder than I thought it would be. 😞
I needed this ! Thank you so much. Because I don’t breastfeed bub due to his cleft lip I feel we don’t bond as well as we could so I am limited with my soothing and calming power. But this has made me open minded !! Thank you Emma
Thank you for this.. Can you give advise for helping baby sleep without a swaddle. They can roll now so swaddling is not advised but their arms are still flying all over the place and waking them up.
This was written months ago, but mimicking the womb by having their arms already near their face when they are put down in their crib can be helpful to reducing a sudden startle reflex.
Emma, I truly enjoy watching your videos as I am a new grandmother and RN! Recently my 4 month old granddaughter tested positive for COVID which altered my 2x/week childcare. She now just turned 5 months and it took FaceTime everyday and small increments of time to have her smile and now be able to hold her after many visits of her crying tears when she looked at me in person. Her poor parents only have me to give them a break! You give me lots of great advice and I thank you for that! Now to get her to nap longer than her catnaps of 30 min! 💗
Hi @AnarchoXen I hope it helps! Sounds like your little one might be going through the period of purple crying or witching hour. You might also find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/EQs2JIHK45A/w-d-xo.html
We love your videos! So very helpful and reassuring, even for a second time mum. Thank you for all your work and for helping us become more confident parents.😃
Bless you ALL!! I’m sure you’ve done everything! This little one is grunting, there are great positions for an infant like this, forgive me if you’ve already tried them!
Hey Emma thank you for this GREAT video. I am now roadtripping with my almost 3-month old. Have you any tips for calming a crying baby when in the car,
HI @Amila Hodzic road tripping with a little one can be hard! Some of the things I find helpful during car rides are: - Pacifier - At this age the pacifier can help soothe the bub and help them fall asleep if they are tired. - Variety of Toys - If your little one is crying because they are bored, give your little one a single toy to play with. When your little one has finished exploring/playing with the toy swap it with a different toy. At this age they can't really hold the toy, so if possible it is great to have someone beside them to hold the toys. - Portable white noise machine or "shushing" - If your little one is crying because they are tired using a white noise machine or shushing can help them fall asleep. I do find bub's generally find it easier to fall asleep if no one is sitting with them and the window is blocked/covered as this limits distractions. Hope that helps and have a great road trip!
My daughter and son-in-law call me magic grandma. The only thing I do different than what they do is I use the rocking chair it’s a rocking recliner. I put a pillow on each side for my arm won’t get tired and on my back so I’m not so far back and I just rock the little one and he loves it. You know a few times. I got a change position if he wiggles because if he wiggles I know he’s got a burp. And just now four months later they are finally taking my lead.❤
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful! I would also like to ask, my 4 month baby has started to scream very loud, not like crying, just makes loud sounds. Firstly I thought maybe she is hurting or something, but when I start talking to her, she smiles. Is this normal like some leap of growth or should we visit doctor? Thank you!
I wouldn't be concerned. From what you have described it sounds like she has started to vocalise and is using it as a way to communicate/play with you (since she smiles when you start talking to her). If you are worried though make sure you take her to a doctor.
Hi emma, can we interact with babies in two languages for eg. English and a native language? Will it cause confusion in babies ? Can you please make a video on this topic?
This is more of a question for a speech therapist. No it will not confuse them but it does sometimes delay the onset of speech as baby is learning two sets of sounds at once
Look for the OPOL method (one parent, one language). We used it and our daughter can now successfully speak 3 languages, because both parents and one of the grandma's spoke a different language to the baby since she was born.
Definitely confer with a speech therapist. My parents are multilingual and for my older brother they did dual language (French and Portuguese, we lived in France) and he ended up speaking gibberish - nothing that resembled either language and was extremely delayed and their pediatrician ended up telling them to stick to 1 language because it was going to delay his schooling. So they did. I wasn't affected since they were still doing monolingual for him when I was a baby. Then my little brother, it was even worse because now my parents would speak Portuguese to each other and the baby, but would speak in French to us (even if baby bro was around), my father would put on French kids' music videos for him, but would put on American TV shows (because we lived in the US). Mass confusion galore! So the same thing happened - all gibberish!!! He had to go to a special speech therapist and when it was time to start school, he still was speaking a mix of English and gibberish at the age of 5-6! So they had to find one that could accommodate his special speech needs. Thankfully his classmates loved him. Both of them speak fine now - though neither one speaks Portuguese beyond the absolute basics. Confused all for nothing.
You can even (with practice) nurse in a carrier! That can definitely soothe a baby, esp if done while walking. Should clarify and say I’m not sure if it could be done with a newborn.
My daughter is 2 days old & she instantly grabbed the pacifier from me and my wife since we did not breastfeed her….. I was shocked how calming it was for her when she is laying down
This only works if my 2 month old baby girl is on her way to sleep but a good ol fashion “Eskimo kiss” gets her to fall asleep faster. Also gently rubbing her cheek helps too.
but how do u swaddle a already crying baby..my baby is only 3 weeks old an strong like an ox.the more i try to place her arms down the louder she cries n resists more
Someone mentioned using the 5 steps in a different order. Try starting with a pacifier or white noise, then swaddle. Every baby is different. Good luck and God bless.
Maybe this is a strange question... But could pacifiers make them orally fixated? So if a person has an addictive personality they might get too hooked on this? I have this trait and I don't want my baby to be trained on oral soothing. Also, I have a niece who was sucking her finger up until 6-7 years old and it shows on her teeth (she is an adult now). What to do to avoid this?
It is frustrating. Non stop I m I continuely in thid cycle. Feeding 30-40 mnts, 30 minutes for burp. Swinging in hands to make sleep. Put In bed , hick ups start, Pickup again to help in hickups. Then 2 hours around run by. So no sleep offering soother baby refusing. But latching hard as need milk. Milk offered but baby spitting out . So no end it takes 3-4 hours to make baby sleep for max 30 -40 mnts
Ich habe mir eine Haushaltshilfe bestellt, die mein Baby den ganzen Tag herum trägt, sch sch sch singt und das Kind auf und ab schwingt. Denn ich habe davon Muskelkater bekommen und von dem Geschrei einen Hörsturz erlitten. Jetzt ist mein Baby 5 Monate und ganz friedlich. Die Haushaltshilfe und mein Mann sind ausgezogen.
Any tips for a 6 month old who suddenly refuses a pacifier and wants to latch on the breast to sooth and sleep? He loved his pacifiers this whole time and now he spits them out and cries if I try to put it back. 😫 One very tired mom over here lol
I have a question. We treat our 6w baby real nice, make sure it is always content and never crying. The pediatrician even said we spoil him. But at what age do we stop spoiling them to prevent them from turning into spoiled little assholes? When should a child learn it is not at the center of the universe?
Hi, I’m a psychotherapist and I find that children of any age always benefit from being treated with gentleness and empathy by their parents. There is no limit! Being encouraged to have empathy for others goes hand in hand with this teaching- for example, saying to a child, “your friend looks upset- what can we do to help?” It’s actually a myth that it’s possible to spoil a child with too much love, gentleness, or empathy- receiving these things helps us learn to how to give them to others! I hope this helps you and congratulations on being loving parents to your new baby
what about neuro-crying? My granddaughter at about 4 months started screaming, she doesn't cry, it sounds like the kind of cry that is pure pain. (she'll be 7 months this week) She doesn't sleep more than 45 minutes at a time 24/7 and she does this back bend thing, like a cat arching its back but opposite, like a back bend a gymnast does. We try bouncer and jumpy and tummy time and stroller and car and rocking and walking and she just keeps screaming. Her pedi has given her lots of exams and can't find anything physical. She has had only breast milk. A couple weeks ago they tried a hypoallergenic formula and she slept one night until 4 a.m. but that only happened once. She's gone to the ER twice with her but like my dogs going to the vet, when she gets there the scream crying doesn't present. I've only found one article on this neuro-crying but it sure sounds like it might be it. The treatment seems to be gabapentin so we have some hope, but just wondering if you have heard of this?
The scream crying, inability to sleep, and back arching indicate a lot of pain. Poor thing! I have heard about other babies going through similar symptoms and that gabapentin can help. Before using such a strong medication though, have the pediatricians tried anything for acid reflux? A lot of babies like this seem to have gut issues causing their pain. Praying for healing and comfort 🙏🏻
Hope ur grandchild is doing well, she already will be 7 or more now... I am curious to know wether she cries now or not. I am Mom of two and half month old baby. My baby does the same things like ur child. Arches his back and cries nonstop, He sheds lots of tears too. And i do not know what his problem is.
@@Faizidogarvlogs once she started eating real food, she's gotten better and she only wakes up two or three times a night now and on occasion once a night. The doctor never concluded what it might be, she's just kind of grown out of it. She just cries regular now, not that screaming. It was rough for sure, but it's much better now, she'll be 11 months at the end of the month, one-year-old in January. Hopefully your little guy will grow out of it as well but I know how absolutely difficult it is. There is light at the end of the tunnel though so hang in there!
@@yorkiem0m I am glad to know that ur baby is doing well... I feel mine(now three months old) is also getting out of that traumastizing period. Yes, he still cries during mid nights but still I can see a little betterment.. I wish u and ur grandkid stay blessed and healthy
We had a night like this and I still don’t know what it was but laying her on her side and feeding her helped and eventually got it to stop. Maybe some gripe water?
Because they are good for babies. The AAP even suggest introducing them after breastfeeding is established (if that’s what the parent is doing) to reduce the risk of SIDS. They are also great for calming babies, particularly newborns. What’s not good about pacifiers is continuing to use them past 4 years of age, due to potential oral changes they can cause. But most kids naturally stop using a pacifier between 2-4 years. Also you can minimise this risk by ensuring the toddler only has the pacifier for nap times and not all day.
Thanks for watching! Which soothing tip are you going to use with your little one?

I did this with my nephew but it got too tiring especially the heavier they got, then I climbed up and down stairs. Works just as well too.
Doc first time dad here of a 4 week old. You are the best. Thank you!
OMG position one does the trick! It looks so uncomfortable for an adult but for a new born it does the trick!! Thank u 🙏🏿 sooo much!!
Thanks Emma for always being so supportive in your videos. My little one loves the flex and hold position.
You are so welcome!
My son loves to be swaddled when he's held but he wants his arms out as soon as he lays down... 😂🍼
Mine also
Every baby is different.
For anyone else dealing with this -- try the "Halo" Swaddler!!

Sleep sack
there are sleep sacks like the swaddle up that have a better position for babies making it very difficult for them to roll in their sleep

Good God, a 5 month old in front of a screen. That is more detrimental to her than just about anything one could do.
Thanks for this. Our 5 week old has gotten very fussy over the last 2 weeks, I'll try a few of these techniques that I wasn't aware of

Can you start using pacific as early as 5wks? Will that cause issue with baby’s latching and breastfeeding?
From personal experience, no it does not cause an issue. We've been using a pacifier since day one.

I was a little worried when I heard you say 68 weeks (that's 5,5 years). But you actually said 6 to 8 weeks, not 68, thank god!
😂 I would have been worried too!

Thanks so much for sharing! It is so good you have worked out what works for your little one!
Thanks for this!
No worries at all!
It is frustrating. Non stop I m I continuely in thid cycle.
Feeding 30-40 mnts,
30 minutes for burp.
Swinging in hands to make sleep.
Put In bed , hick ups start,
Pickup again to help in hickups.

So no sleep offering soother baby refusing.
But latching hard as need milk.
Milk offered but baby spitting out .
So no end it takes 3-4 hours to make baby sleep for max 30 -40 mnts
It’s hard but hang in there. Remember you’re not the only mama going through this is only temporary. 💪🙏🏼
30 minutes for burp? Is the baby crying with gas pains? Sometimes they don’t have to burp, no reason to force it.
I heard that blowing into baby’s ears help to calm them. Is it true?
Dads watch these too🙂
Careful not to put too much faith in respect for your position one would normally expect. 😂 Many women see us as cave people...
What about a newborn that hates to be swaddled or contained in any way? My daughter started hating the swaddle at week 2
Try Swaddle Up swaddles!
Ich habe mir eine Haushaltshilfe bestellt, die mein Baby den ganzen Tag herum trägt, sch sch sch singt und das Kind auf und ab schwingt.

Any tips for a 6 month old who suddenly refuses a pacifier and wants to latch on the breast to sooth and sleep?

It’s actually a myth that it’s possible to spoil a child with too much love, gentleness, or empathy- receiving these things helps us learn to how to give them to others! I hope this helps you and congratulations on being loving parents to your new baby
what about neuro-crying? My granddaughter at about 4 months started screaming, she doesn't cry, it sounds like the kind of cry that is pure pain. (she'll be 7 months this week) She doesn't sleep more than 45 minutes at a time 24/7 and she does this back bend thing, like a cat arching its back but opposite, like a back bend a gymnast does. We try bouncer and jumpy and tummy time and stroller and car and rocking and walking and she just keeps screaming. Her pedi has given her lots of exams and can't find anything physical. She has had only breast milk. A couple weeks ago they tried a hypoallergenic formula and she slept one night until 4 a.m. but that only happened once. She's gone to the ER twice with her but like my dogs going to the vet, when she gets there the scream crying doesn't present. I've only found one article on this neuro-crying but it sure sounds like it might be it. The treatment seems to be gabapentin so we have some hope, but just wondering if you have heard of this?
The scream crying, inability to sleep, and back arching indicate a lot of pain. Poor thing! I have heard about other babies going through similar symptoms and that gabapentin can help. Before using such a strong medication though, have the pediatricians tried anything for acid reflux? A lot of babies like this seem to have gut issues causing their pain. Praying for healing and comfort 🙏🏻
Hope ur grandchild is doing well, she already will be 7 or more now... I am curious to know wether she cries now or not.
I am Mom of two and half month old baby. My baby does the same things like ur child. Arches his back and cries nonstop, He sheds lots of tears too. And i do not know what his problem is.
@@Faizidogarvlogs once she started eating real food, she's gotten better and she only wakes up two or three times a night now and on occasion once a night. The doctor never concluded what it might be, she's just kind of grown out of it. She just cries regular now, not that screaming. It was rough for sure, but it's much better now, she'll be 11 months at the end of the month, one-year-old in January. Hopefully your little guy will grow out of it as well but I know how absolutely difficult it is. There is light at the end of the tunnel though so hang in there!
@@yorkiem0m I am glad to know that ur baby is doing well... I feel mine(now three months old) is also getting out of that traumastizing period. Yes, he still cries during mid nights but still I can see a little betterment..
I wish u and ur grandkid stay blessed and healthy
We had a night like this and I still don’t know what it was but laying her on her side and feeding her helped and eventually got it to stop. Maybe some gripe water?
Hi Emma! Are pacifiers safe?
My baby carrier saved my life when my baby was 2 to 3 month stage! But I had to move around!
Ill try it
Is it more difficult to soothe a crying baby that was circumcised?
If you just had part of your wang snipped off with no anesthesia, you’d be pissed off too. No amount of cuddling or soothing will ease that pain.
My baby absolutely hates being swaddled
What about crying 5 month old? My baby is 5 months old and has been the fussiest he's ever been for the past month or 2 stright
My baby cries alot at night... thanks for the tips
You’re welcome 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also you can breast-feed in the carrier :-)
but I read that pacifiers are not good for babies ???
Our daughter doesn't want a dummy, we tried different shapes, materials, nothing😫😫
That’s ok . Completely normal. They may want their fist.
I could write a song to calm a baby down
This is exactly how I calm my animals. 😻
My baby hates baby carrier
Hi @PamelasLas hopefully your little one likes the other 3 positions!
And i seen the obestration in port thanks with bree

Serious
To grow up because its not your baby i did all this kasey
Biggest regret I have as a mother is allowing my baby to suck fingers. Calm baby in any way you can other than that.
That is NOT HOW YOU HOLD A FOOTBALL... GEEEESH...
😂
Aha 🤣😂 try the first technique when he is one month 6 kilo hahahahaha
🧸❤️ NEVER EVER shake a baby. SIDS, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome can leave baby a vegetable or even die. 🇺🇸🙏
Pacifier not good for babies ..why you suggesting that ...
Because they are good for babies. The AAP even suggest introducing them after breastfeeding is established (if that’s what the parent is doing) to reduce the risk of SIDS.
They are also great for calming babies, particularly newborns.
What’s not good about pacifiers is continuing to use them past 4 years of age, due to potential oral changes they can cause. But most kids naturally stop using a pacifier between 2-4 years. Also you can minimise this risk by ensuring the toddler only has the pacifier for nap times and not all day.
Shhh shhh noise making my baby peeing😂
