Walk and wait is best strategy to stop baby crying
Scientists carry out tests with new parents to find what works best to help crying babies sleep. …
The team found that when the mother carefully walked around while carrying the baby, the crying infants calmed down and their heart rates (measured with a portable monitor) slowed within 30 seconds. A similar calming effect occurred when the infants were placed in a rocking cot, but not when the mother held the baby while sitting, or placed the baby in a still crib.
