This video concentrates on trying to comfort a crying baby, the things to look out for and what best ways to resolve it.  



Comforting

A crying baby can be deeply distressing for parents and can leave you feeling at the end of your tether. There are ways of trying to soothe your baby - and if one doesn’t work for you, try another. It can be as distressing if you don’t know why your baby's crying but it's her way of communicating her feelings to you - and she needs you to respond. When your baby cries - particularly if she cries a lot - it can be worrying and draining. But remember that at this early age, crying is your baby’s only way of telling you that she needs something.
