Question
How to deal with a baby’s crying and restlessness after a scare?
Answer
After a scare, most babies may appear listless and have decreased appetite; some may have restless nights with frequent dreams or nightmares. Others may cry loudly and have unpredictable mood swings. When dealing with a baby’s scare, parents can take the following measures:
- Maintain a quiet resting environment and avoid noisy places.
- Speak to the baby in a calm and gentle tone, avoiding loud or soft voice fluctuations.
