Based on advice from professionals, we bring some helpful tips to help new parents

Babies, especially infants, don’t have a lot of ways to communicate what they want and how they’re feeling.

Most of the time, a parent’s best bet is to keep calmly soothing the baby and wait it out — the baby will probably calm down on their own pretty soon.

A baby unhinged can be frustrating, though. If you’re getting upset, it’s always okay to set the baby down in a safe place like a bassinet or crib, leave the room for a few minutes, take a break and calm yourself down.

When things have settled a little, it can be helpful to consider whether there may be a pattern of melting down.

Does it happen at a certain point in the day or after a certain activity? Was the baby overtired or overwhelmed by something that was happening?

If there’s a pattern, there’s an opportunity to change things up and try to prevent it from happening again.

IMPORTANT: No parent or caregiver ever thinks they could intentionally harm a child. But it happens. An adult loses patience, just for an instant, and shakes a crying baby. That momentary lapse in judgment can bring a lifetime of sorrow.

Shaking a baby can cause serious — and sometimes fatal — head injuries or permanent disabilities called shaken baby syndrome (SBS). You can prevent SBS by educating everyone who cares for your child about the dangers of shaking a baby, and how to appropriately respond to crying.
