If your newborn baby won’t stop crying, swaddle them, take them into a dark room and hold them close so that they can hear your heartbeat and say sshhh calmly and repetitively.
This will make them feel as though they are back in the womb. They will feel safe, secure and it will help them calm down.
Babies do cry, but it is always for a reason. Your baby is communicating with you, so try and listen and you will soon learn and be able to respond.
It is even more distressing when you seem to do everything and they are still crying.
Don’t let anyone tell you that it is normal for a baby if they are crying for long periods of time and cannot be soothed. Excessive crying to me is over 2 hours per 24 hours.
They may have reflux or allergies. So you need to start a food dairy if you are breastfeeding and contact your GP to be referred to a paediatrician.
