Crying to communicate<br />
Whether you’re anew mum, oranew dad<br />
about to experience your first Canterbury<br />
anniversary long weekend, oranold hand<br />
with abit of extra knowledge, being anew<br />
parent is like nothing else you’ll ever do. It<br />
brings joy and surprise as you get to know<br />
your new baby, along with many sleepless<br />
nights, mostly from acrying baby trying to<br />
communicate.<br />
Crying can mean hunger oradirty or wet<br />
nappy, or they may just need acuddle, a<br />
song,awalkoraride to soothe them; as you<br />
get to know them better you will learn what<br />
each cryand sound means.<br />
How you respond to baby’s crying will make<br />
baby feel secure and safe but one of the<br />
hardest times can be when your baby keeps<br />
on crying and youcan’t work out why.<br />
If you find yourself getting upset, it’s OKto<br />
put your baby down gently in asafe place,<br />
walk away and take abreak.<br />
Your babyismorelikely to calm down when<br />
youare feeling calm and in control.<br />
Remember to look after your baby well you<br />
need to look after yourself too which means<br />
eating well, getting enough sleep, being<br />
activeand asking forhelp when needed or if<br />
it all becomes toomuch.<br />
Trytosleep or rest when your babydoesand<br />
accept broken sleep and tiredness arepartof<br />
being aparent-especially at the beginning -<br />
but it does get better.<br />
