 All babies cry and sometimes it can be hard to cope with. When they cry they're trying to tell you something. Your baby may need to feed more often than you thought. Babies need lots of cuddles and touch. They feel safe when they can see your face, hear your voice, smell you and feel your touch. Check to see if their nappy is wet or dirty. Sometimes babies get overexcited, especially if they've had lots of visitors. Try rocking them gently in a dimly lit room. This will help if they're having trouble sleeping. If they have a high temperature, they may have an illness. If you think there's something wrong, ring NHS Direct Wales for advice on 0845 4647. Try to respond to your baby when they cry. Research has found that babies whose parents responded to their crying cried less than those who were left to cry it out. These tips might help to soothe your baby. Give the baby a warm bath. Go for a walk with the pram, wrap the baby in a blanket and rock them gently. Use soothing sounds like white noise. Sing a lullaby. It's OK to ask for help. If you're worried, ask your health visitor or GP for advice. For more helpful tips on coping with a crying baby and on positive parenting techniques, visit gov.wales slash give it time.
