There’s nothing more overwhelming for a new parent than a baby who keeps crying — especially when you’ve tried everything.

At Maternite Hospital, we often meet mothers who say:
"Doctor, baccha feed karne ke baad bhi ro raha hai… shaayad pet mein dard hai?"

If you’ve been there — rocking, feeding, changing diapers, walking up and down the room — you’re not alone.
Most babies cry. Some cry more. But once you understand why, it becomes easier to help.

Here’s what we’ve learned after caring for thousands of newborns — gentle ways to soothe your baby and ease tummy troubles.

1. Start with Burping — It Really Matters

Babies swallow air while feeding. If that air doesn’t come out, it builds pressure in the tummy and causes discomfort.

Try these 3 burping positions:

Over-the-shoulder:

Hold baby upright, gently rub/pat the back for 2–5 mins.

Keep a cloth on your shoulder — a little milk spill is normal.

Sitting on lap:

Support baby’s chin and chest, keep the back straight, and pat gently.

Face down on lap:

Place baby belly-down across your knees, support head slightly raised, and pat.

Burp every time after feeding — even at night. Especially for gassy or colicky babies.

For Gas and Colic: Home Remedies That Help

If your baby pulls their legs up, clenches fists, or cries for no clear reason — it could be gas or colic.

What helps:

• Hing paste:

Mix a pinch of hing with warm water, apply around the navel (not on it), and massage gently.

• Tummy time (after 4–6 weeks):

Place baby on tummy for a few minutes during the day — it helps release gas naturally.

• Warm cloth compress:

Use a soft cloth dipped in warm water (not hot) on the baby’s tummy to relax tightness.

• Gentle leg cycling:

Lay baby on their back, move legs in slow cycling motion — helps move trapped gas.

If your baby keeps crying more than 3 hours a day, or if the tummy looks bloated and hard, consult a child stomach specialist in Jaipur to rule out other causes.

 Soothing Techniques That Work

• Hold baby skin-to-skin
• Play white noise or soft lullabies
• Rock gently or walk slowly with the baby upright
• Dim the lights and create a calm space

Sometimes, babies cry because they’re overstimulated — not hungry or wet. Just holding them in silence can do wonders.

When to See a Doctor

• If baby isn’t feeding properly
• Crying sounds painful or high-pitched
• Vomiting frequently
• No pee or poop for many hours
• Constant crying with no relief

At Maternite, our newborn team is trained to help parents decode baby cries — and step in early when needed.

You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong

A crying baby doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means your baby is still learning to communicate — and your comfort matters more than you know.

We’ve stood beside tired, teary parents at 2 AM — and we always say:
"Take a breath. Let us help."

That’s what makes Maternite more than a hospital. It’s a place where you’re never alone.
