If you have tried everything you can think of to calm your baby and they are just still
crying and it’s making you really nervous and upset, it might actually be that they
can sense that you’re anxious about it too.
It is perfectly fine, even with a young baby, to lay them down in a safe place, like their
bassinette or their cradle, and leave the room. Shut the door, let them cry for a few
minutes, go somewhere where you can’t hear them for a few minutes and calm yourself back
down. If they’re still crying then that’s when you should go ahead and call your doctor’s
office.
