Child Crying - What to do to pacify?

be always be ready with your pacifier and rattles if you don't have the time to divert her attention by going out somewhere.have her bottled milk by her side so anytime she cries ,you just shove it to her little mouth.if everything else fails then i guess you just have to get use to it.

I understand it very well, as I experienced the same situation like you. Maybe you can give her milk, perhaps she will calm down. Make sure the environment isn't so hot or too cold for her. Frankly, I think bring a baby outside is the best solution to stop crying. But it'll be very troublesome for parents, especially at nights. Please hold on, when your daughter is 1 year old, everything will be better and she will not cry so much.

If she calms down when you take her out it means that you´ve found the perfect method to stop her from crying :-). You´re right, buying things for kids to keep them quit is not a good idea. It would spoil her and if one day for whatever reason you weren´t able to buy anything for her she would have a tantrum. It´s normal, small children, even babies get used to a certain pattern of behaviour and don´t understand the meaning of flexibility. I think you´re doing a very good job.

I can see you've already gotten some good advice, I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Fresh air is better than chocolate, and as long as it does the trick then I think you should continue.

I would try to see what's bothering her as it could be needed some attention like talking to her, or see if she needs to be changed, belly ache, teething, my daughter watches a 9 month old baby, She would cry constantly so my daughter picked her up and talked to her and show lots of love and that child was happy. sometimes they prefer to have the bottle close by instead of using pacify.

I try to distract my nice with something around me, something on tv, a cartoon, a toy she already has, anything I can think of. As long as she doesn't think of the pain she seems to forget it and moves on. Taking her outside is a very good thing, I think it's a good idea on your part!

i'm not have a child but if i have i can to sing......i sing well, and i've a good voice...... i hope that stop a cry ore.........ehehehi dont know bye myry

I first try and find out why they are crying, there always is a reason why they cry. I have a 9 month old too, so teething is an issue at the moment. But I usually get it first time.

I just do nothing except hold my child in my arms and they would stop crying. I don't have to buy them anything nor give them anything. When my child cries and she comes to me, and I would hug and kiss their hurt away, they would immediately stop crying and be comforted.

It is not wrong to spoil a child infact you already are. She has learned that crying will make you pay attention to her and take her outside so she can play with you. Not to worry they learn us all rather quickly in life. The only problem is as she gets older it will continue if you continue. Try rocking her and singing to her. Even patting her back until she settles down. Playing with her only when she isn't crying. Yes even at that age they know what gets our attention. So never fear you can change it. Make sure when she cries that you find out if she is wet, hungry or hurt first. If none of those then just change the pattern of what you do. She will learn it is more fun being with you and playing when she is not crying! Good luck and welcome to parenthood!!

I don't have children myself but my mother has been a childminder for over 35 years. We have always found that babies cry for a reason. If you have checked that they are not hungry, sleepy, need a nappy/diaper change or in pain for something, it could be that they've got used to being picked up and pampered each time they let out their cries. Babies are far more clever than we give them credit for. If your daughter stops crying when you take her out in the fresh air, it could be just that she is feeling hot and bothered - I don't think you are spoiling her. You are a good dad by the sound of it, chocolates and toys are not the answer for crying children, but sometimes they do also cry out of boredom and need entertaining LOL :)

If my child was crying I would first check the necessities and if that was all ok then I would go for a walk or a ride. Usually a nice walk with the stroller works good. If the weather is bad then we have to resort to the rocking chair.

My son was colicky. He cried a lot when he was just a few month old especially at night. My husband and I used to bring him for a car ride to soothe him. He usually fell asleep and it make thing less stressful for us. I also gave him a pacifier as an alternative if my husband was not around to drive us.

When mine starts throwing a fit, I just crouch down in front of her and gently take her into a big hug. You'd think something so simple as a hug wouldn't work to calm a toddler's tantrums and crying, but it does. I think it's the reassurance of having mommy so close. Even if it feels like her world is falling apart, she can always count on me to be there for her. You can't buy that kind of trust at the store.

You really are smart, comforting your daughter with your presence, and I am sure her mom appreciates this. Buying things for good behavior can really backfire. It can create more tantrums and sad days in an attempt to gain more things. I think that besides the fresh air, your daughter enjoys having your attention. Good job.

And you do it well. If my son is crying I just hug him. I can always calm him down with my hugging. :)

Your sweet little angel is training you very well...lol. You are quite correct to keep chocolates and toys away, especially as a pacifier. She's only 9 months and already you are responding to her cries ....she now knows that you will take her outside...how lovely for her. Yes, a distraction is great when they're upset, But not all the time. Sometimes it's best to let her cry ...otherwise she will cry whenever she wants something. When she's 20 she will still come crying to daddy when she wants something. LOL. Remember who is the boss. Form good habits like organising your time as a family better so she gets lots of various interactions with the family. Time to eat, time to play, time for quiet and time for sleep. A routine is very important. If you start now with chocolate and toys she will expect them ALL THE TIME and that will give you a big headache. Good luck.

Well, when a baby cries, sometimes you have to understand why? Are they hungry, dirty diaper, tired, cold, hot... if it is an immediate need you can resolve, that usually works. The last thing you should give a 9 month old is chocolate. It has too much sugar and caffeine for a little one, which WILL upset them when they "crash" from all that stimulation. And yeah, buying a toy every time she cries... guess who is going to learn to cry every time she wants to get her way? You are right, that would spoil her. Sometimes babies cry because they want some love and attention, and it sounds like that is what you are giving her, which is better than any toy or candy!

If your daughter cries a lot then that would be a big problem. You can cradle your crying daughter to stop her from crying a lot or give here pacifier or give her anything that would distract her attention.

I would pick them up and kind of rock them back to sleep. It seemed to work a lot for my cousin.
