Naturally, crying and babies go hand in hand as your baby's primary means of communication is to make a fuss. However, a baby's cries can rapidly become overwhelming, especially if you are unable to determine the source of her distress. While crying is typical for babies, it can be difficult for first-time parents to understand what "normal" really entails.

- Sing a tune: Whether you sing in tune or off-key, your infant has no idea. She is aware that you are showering her with song and affection, though. Sing a traditional lullaby, a corny power ballad, or any song you prefer the next time she's irritable.
- Bathtime: If your child relaxes during bathtime, fill the tub with warm water and incorporate it into her normal soothing routine.
- Massage Time: The practice of massaging your infant can be soothing for both of you and a terrific method to quiet their crying. Although neither is required, you can experiment with lotion or specific baby massage oils. Use a strong but not scratchy touch that is mild.
- Encourage Sucking: Babies frequently comfort themselves by sucking on objects that are not food, which doesn't fill their stomachs but does quiet their anxiety. Help your baby discover her thumb, fist, or finger if she is sobbing, or just provide one of your own.
- Small Walk: She might only need to move for a moment to calm down, and a change of scenery can do wonders for both grumpy newborns and their exhausted parents. Everyone's mood will be lifted by the new sights, sounds, and fragrances, as well as the light, air, and temperature.
These are a few tips for new moms that can help them calm their baby when other things may not work
