Soothe an Overtired Baby





Soothe an Overtired Baby - Remove your baby from external stimuli that might keep her awake. Take her to a different room, if necessary. Keep her away from loud noises and lots of motion.

Remove restrictive clothing, such as bulky sweatshirts, jackets or pants that bind around the waist. Take off your baby's shoes and gently massage his feet. Make your baby is as comfortable as possible.

Dim the lights or plug in a nightlight. Pull the shades or close the blinds if your baby is napping during the day, to darken the room.

Give your baby a favorite object that she likes to cuddle with, such as a stuffed animal, toy or blanket. Be sure to remove the object after she has fallen asleep to avoid possible suffocation or injury.

Turn on soft music if your baby is used to and enjoys it. Create white noise by turning a fan on low speed.

Babies naturally exhibit signs of sleepiness when they get tired, such as yawning and droopy eyes. If a baby does not fall asleep soon after tiring, he can easily become agitated and overtired. Signs of overtiredness are fussiness, irritability, rubbing of the eyes and general crankiness. Parents can avoid overtiredness in their baby by responding to signs of sleepiness and putting him to bed. Unavoidably, situations will arise that cannot be helped and a baby will get fussy and irritable. Parents can take steps to help soothe their baby and lull him to sleep. - by eHow
