Crying Baby Less than 3 Months Old

Home Care Advice - Sleep and Swaddling

Sleep and Swaddling

  • Put your baby down to sleep, if more than 3 hours have passed since the last nap and you have tried quiet holding for more than 30 minutes. Some overtired infants need to cry themselves to sleep.
  • Swaddling often helps. Wrap your child in a light blanket with the arms tucked close to the body. Place on the back in the crib.
