Quick checklist of questions and solutions for crying baby


Here are a quick checklist of questions and solutions for crying baby - from The happiest Baby on the Block
  • Is she hungry? Feed her.
  • Is she wet? Change her diaper.
  • Is she lonely? Pick her up.
  • Is she gassy? Burp her.
  • Is she cold or hot?  Bundle her up or take off sweater or jacket. 
Time-honored "ingredients" of calm as the 5 "S's":
  1. Swaddling-tight wrapping
  2. Side/Stomach-laying a baby on her side or stomach
  3. Shushing-loud white noise
  4. Swinging-rhythmic, jiggly motion
  5. Sucking-sucking on anything from your nipple or finger to a pacifier

Books that Infant to Toddler likes

I borrowed many books from the public library and though I couldn't borrow these I tried and they became my boy's favorite books.


The Very Hungry caterpillar (Popup Book) by Eric Carl
This u have to be very careful before all the popup becomes just pieces of paper laying around your books.


Brown bear, Brown bear what do you see? by Bill Martin
It is one of books that Joe likes to flip and flip.



His favorite is also Pat the Bunny, touch and feel book
And Animals: Baby Touch and Feel Board Book by DK Preschool.
Then another one of his favorite book is Open the Barn Door by Christopher Santoro.



He likes "Open the Barn Door" book the most because they are small enough to hold and it is a flap book, so he likes opening and closing each door or flap and mimicking the sound like meow, woof, moo, neigh and more.  He likes to hold this book when falling asleep at night.

Hope your baby would likes them also. ^^
