Californian pediatrician Robert Hamilton reveals a trick in a video for cases in which a newborn is in the throes of a crying fit
Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous
Pacifier, cuddles, hugs and caresses. Far stop crying a baby often it turns into an arduous undertaking and all the understanding and kindness of a mother bear is not enough.
There are those who have really tried them all, from the walk in your arms all over the house to the favorite song, from the double ration of bottles to the exception of the overtime tit to the car ride in the middle of the night, but when the baby snaps like a mule all the patience in this world is not worth it.
If, for example, the gaseous colic is the real torment that drives even the most placid of newborns crazy, there are no particular solutions to follow except the fact that the momentaccio must pass by itself. Also in this case, however, a method with which I have always found myself quite well and I have managed to calm my puppies for a few minutes has been to place them face down on my forearm. The pressure that is created in this way could make him expel the air that has lodged in the small intestine and give him a few moments of relief.
But there is a Californian pediatrician, one Robert Hamilton, who would reveal a further trick, for cases in which, more generally, a newborn is in the throes of a crying fit. With thirty years of experience behind him, Hamilton would suggest very specific positions and moves, in that technique that he himself defines "waiting".
To calm a crying baby, in fact, the American pediatrician says to fold the baby's arms and keep them lightly pressed against his small chest with one hand. With the other hand you have to grasp the lower part of the baby by tilting it about 45 degrees and then swing it gently up and down. Hamilton also suggests gently shaking the baby's butt back and forth.

Other methods? Well, every mom knows her baby and she knows, at least 90% of the time, how to relate to him. Don't be alarmed immediately if your baby suddenly starts crying but use your instincts. Many times it is enough to understand that it is the dirty diaper the cause of his complaint.
Do not forget, however, that even those little creatures can be tired and stressed, so give them occasionally even some light massage with slow movements on the back and under the feet with a drop of almond oil. The warmth of your hands will calm that crying that seemed inconsolable. And if it is troubles that make him nervous, such as sore throat or ears, then you should ask your pediatrician for advice ...
For the rest, nothing is worth more than a hug and reassuring words. The sweetness must be infinite and the calm biblical. I know, sometimes it's hard, but now he's only counting on you.
