It’s natural to be unsettled by your baby’s cry – in fact, our DNA is wired that way to make us attentive caregivers. But if you’ve already tried all the usual things that settle baby down (feeding, burping, a new diaper, a swaddle), then take a deep breath and weather the storm by simply offering them your comfort and calm. It’s also okay to set baby down in a safe place for brief periods of time when you need a moment to collect yourself.
