Advice History
Anxiety
Your baby's anxiety isn't half that of your own.
If you can work towards being a relaxed, patient and focused parent yourself, your child will pick up on those vibes and most likely become more at ease herself.
If you're totally strung-out and distracted, your child -- from baby to toddler to teen -- will get that you're not fully present, and that will exacerbate matters.
Also, if your baby gets inconsolable, it is important that you stay calm. This can be very difficult especially if you are going through a twenty minute non-stop crying fit but the calmer you can be, the better it is for the baby. They really need you at this moment and the more soothing, calming and patient you are, the better it will be for your baby.
