comfort settling change the babys nappy and put him at the foot of the bed on his back. Leave the room if the baby is quiet but return straight away if the baby cries. Try rocking, patting or stroking the baby without taking him out of the bed. If this doesnt work pick up and hold the baby until he calms down. Some babies in their first week need a short breast-feed or, if bottle fed, a little cooled water after it has been boiled. The baby may fall asleep in your arms. Put the baby back into bed. Its okay to leave if the baby is only fretting a little, but if he sounds distressed, continue comforting until the baby is calm. SETTLING IN YOUR ARMS. Some babies like to fall asleep in their parents arms. Gentle rocking, patting or talking or singing softly can help. WHAT IF THE BABY HASNT SETTLED? You can let the baby suck on its fist or fingers, or try a dummy- if you use a dummy dont place it in your own mouth or dip it in sweeteners such as honey.
