A times it could be pretty annoying when you are faced with a baby screaming in
your ears and you don't know the cause of the cry or how to calm your crying baby, oh my! If you don't know what to expect then just check out these 7 smart ways to soothe your crying baby.

1. Check baby's clothes: check to see if your baby is uncomfortable in the clothes he/she is wearing. It may be that the whether is too hot, in that case remove baby's clothes so he/she can receive some air, or if the whether is too cold keep your baby warm by wearing him/her the appropriate clothes.

2.check baby's diaper: it might be that the diaper is already soiled with pee or poo, just make sure you check it so that your baby can be as comfortable as you, if not just get ready for some rounds of melodious cry (lol).

3. Change environment: a change of environment can probably soothe your screaming baby, it might be that the place is too crowded,hot or your baby is not just OK with the place, you can move to another location to see if it will calm your baby.

4. Try feeding your baby: it might be your baby is hungry and needs a feed asap, prepare the food before hand and put in a flask so that baby's cry does not push you to hurry in making the food, at that time you are tensed and you might mistakenly make hot food for your baby, giving your baby hot food just to satisfy him/her at that moment without checking the temperature of the food might burn their mouth which will increase the cry, so to avoid that prepare before hand.

5. Carry baby on your shoulder: your baby might be suffering from wind/gas so just carry your baby on your shoulder and apply gentle strokes with your hand on your baby's back to see if they will burp.

6. Try rocking your baby: you can use a rocking chair or do it manually yourself moving your baby back and forth gently, make sure your baby is placed close to your body to avoid slipping from your hands.

7. Play a song for your baby: babies love sound, so when you play a song for them they would want to listen to the song. That way you have succeeded in putting an end to the cry.
