Tips to Soothe a Fussy Baby

👶🏻 Wondering how to soothe a fussy baby?

💖 Try these tips to keep your little one happy and content 🤗:

👉 Bounce on a birth ball: The steady movement instantly calms baby’s (and your!) nervous system. Rocking baby also releases endorphins improving mood and reducing stress. Finally, scientists found that rocking babies lengthens and deepens sleep.

👉 Use a noise machine or your kitchen fan: The white noise can work wonders in calming a fussy baby. That’s because white noise stimulates your baby’s innate calming reflex, which sets the stage for good sleep. Speaking of which, a recent study found that 38% of people fall asleep faster listening to white noise. 🙌 As babies get older, white noise serves as a “sleeping cue” a la Pavlov’s dogs. 😉

👉 Babywear and get baby close in your favorite carrier or sling: Babywearing is evidence-based... it reduces crying and fussiness in babies! 🙌❤️ Plus, it helps mama get some “hands-free” time while staying close to baby.

👉 Try nursing baby: The boob is the ultimate pacifier. Pop baby on the breast often when they can’t settle as a little snack might just be what they need. 🤱🏾

👉 Get outside!: The fresh air, new noises and sunlight can all help to improve baby’s mood. Researchers found that babies who spent time outside in the sun slept better than babies who did not spend time outside. Natural light affects a baby’s circadian rhythms, and early afternoon sunlight exposure helped their brains know when to prepare for nighttime sleep.

👉 When all else fails, try a baby probiotic like the Mama Natural Baby Probiotic. 🎉 Our baby probiotic is the most diverse and evidence-based infant probiotic on the market! It has 10 clinically studied strains including ones that have been shown to reduce symptoms of colic and crying like L. Reuteri and B. Breve. 😍
