How to distract a baby during a violent crying or tantrum

If a baby starts to cry a lot, quickly and gently take him or her in your arms and try to distract him or her immediately. The task of the adult is to distract him or her quickly and then to reassure an infant.

A quick way to distract a baby from crying is:

• The sound of water from the tap.
.
• Tapping on the window and show cars, streetlights, birds, etc.
• The sound of the cooker hood on.
• Blinking light.
• Questions to the child: "Oh, who/what is it?" and point to an object that might interest him. For example, a favorite toy, a cat, a dog.

Next, for reassurance, you need to do:

• White noise.
• Singing, poetry, nursery rhymes.
• A quiet conversation with your child.
• Tell the baby that you are here and that you love him or her, that everything is fine
• Rocking.
• Stroking.
• Kissing.
• Fondling.
• Offer a drink.
